So, I went to Melbourne last weekend on a wee holiday with mum and two of my sisters, and it was marvellous! Such a beautiful city that reminds me so much of Wellington - so easy to get around, beautiful trees, wee nooks and crannies, alley-ways and cafes.
We ate our weight in amazing food, played the pokies (i won $30 and then lost it...all part of the game, mum, the Pokie Queen, tells me) shopped till we dropped, and we saw the coolest stage show of Annie. Annie was a part of my childhood, so it was pretty spesh seeing the story on the big stage! The fam and I knew all the words, and mum was in tears during the first "Tomorrow" song. I even wore my locket in the Annie spirit hehe.
What a great, great place - definitely want to come back one day for longer than four days, so I can browse the museums and art galleries and libraries. Ahh, bliss. Plus, one of my best friends live there and I really can't live without her for a long period of time!
And now...
Reading: Salmon Fishing in the Yemen by Paul Torday. I haven't seen the film yet, but the book is wonderful.
Watching: 50/50, with Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Great film - got a very indie feel. It's gonna be a tear jerker, I can feel it already!
Loving: Draw Something app on my new phone. So fun! Also, my work-mate made me get Instagram and I love it! I've always been a fan of the vintage look with photos, so I'm in heaven.
Off to watch the rest of fitty fitty, and bawl my eyes out.
