I had a bit of a lazy morning... breakfast in bed, reading my book and then enjoying a long email from my Mum. She really is wonderful at writing as if she's just sat across the table talking to you! It really helped to put yesterday's demons in perspective and drew a good few belly laughs, which are supposed to be great for releasing endorphins and making you feel happy! With that and the sunshine streaming through the open door to my balcony, how could my mood fail to improve!
I eventually got up and after contemplating going off to the beach for the day, I decided the weather is forecast to be good (and getting better!) all week, so I'd be better off sorting out the remainder of the stuff I needed to get to make my studio a home. So I was backwards and forwards all day, first to KMart and the Reject Shop, then home with my purchases. Then out to SuperBarn, the local supermarket that sells "farm fresh" produce alongside everything else, where I picked up a special - 2kg of potatoes for 99c! Now there's one thing I really don't understand in Oz... they only have 5, 10, 20 & 50 cent coins, so why do they price something at 99c, which by definition has to be rounded to $1?! Its absolutely mad! With the shopping all done, I headed back out to Glebe where I had a good wander around, checking out the local shops, before picking up a take-out coffee and heading back home with it as I'd arranged to call my Mum at 5pm.
How lovely to have a long chat with my wonderful Mum who can always make me laugh, whatever the circumstances! Although I miss having her around to chat more regularly, I really do hope I get a job and stay out here as I will love bringing her out and showing her Sydney... not the sights, but the places you only know about when you're a local. After 2.5hrs, we finally said goodbye and I thanked my lucky stars that I'd found such a great mobile phone deal which meant I could chat for so long and pay nothing!
