The beach

I'm not sure if its the sea air, the sand between your toes or the sound of the waves, but for me, there is something about the beach that make my heart sing.

Mooloolaba Beach- July 2013

On travelling alone...

Today was my first day on my own on this trip. It was a weird feeling, not unpleasant really but probably not something I'd like to do every day. I changed between feeling fortunate to have the opportunity to go around doing whatever I liked for the entire day, and feeling annoyed that I was on my own.

Luckily, in the interests of positive thinking, I spent more time in the 'lucky me' mindset which is a good thing.

Being on your own has many benefits. Want to spend 2 hours looking at quilts? Done. Dinner at 5:30? Sure. Lie in bed for an extra 45 minutes? Why not?

The thing I noticed the most about today was that I hardly spoke at all. Since I spend most of my workday talking almost non stop, it was a very pleasant change.

Well, it's an experience I guess.

Packing

Heading up north for a week away, hopefully to warmer weather!

You can see a trend for polka dots and stripes here!

I managed to fit everything here into a small suitcase and I have my fossil keyper bag as a good sized carry on.

I'm off now to enjoy a friends engagement party and then put my alarm on for 4:45am!
