A Blonde Abroad

Happy Easter!

I am currently on my last day of a 5 day weekend.

After work on Thursday, I made my way to Randwick to house sit for Louise. Let the 5 day weekend commence. I didn't do much on Friday apart from watch DVD's and take a stroll around the area. I was going to go to the Easter show with Sarah (Paul's girlfriend) but she and Paul had to go to Adelaide for work. Pizza and Glee entertained me for the evening.

On Saturday I decided to walk down to Coogee, where it all began! It was extrememly weird going back there, it felt the same but different at the same time. I went to the OzIntro office to pick up my coat, scarf and said hi to Bec. I found out they are no longer using Surfside for the Ozintro groups but are moving to the city instead. I kinda liked being in Coogee for my first week but I guess everything is on your doorstep in the city.

Sunday was the day of the Barista course! I booked it last minute with the Sydney Coffee School in Pitt Street for $99 - Barista training and Latte art. Everyone else at the course were pretty much from China or Japan - my partners name was Sunny. One or two peeople were from Brazil and Peru, with a housewife thrown in there too. Lunch was interesting, I got the caffine shakes from drinking too much coffee! It was a great day (10-4). I can now make various coffee's and make nice little pictures on top of them for you.

Cappucino and Flat White

We got tested to see if we could remember how to make each coffee - my test coffee's

On the way to the bus stop, some random stopped me at the traffic lights asking for somewhere to eat that wasn't fast food. Fair enough so I told him I wasn't sure, you're in fast food central in this area. He wouldn't stop talking to me after this and started to tell me I have sensitive eyes. OKAY? He goes on 'Do you know how I know that? Because I study astrology and we learn things about faces - the shape of a nose, forehead, eyes...' Argh, I swiftly and suddenly moved away up the next street. Sydney, please stop strange people talking to me in the street.

I got a terrible headache that night. I thought it might have been from the coffee but I think it was a wisdom tooth headache. I keep getting them every few weeks now.

Anzac Day - this year Anzac day falls over the Easter weekend so that's why we have 5 days off instead of 4.

Sarah text - we were going to the Easter Show! It decided to rain, glad I got my coat the day before. I met Sarah and her Mum and we got the train to the Olympic Park, where the Sydney Olympics were held. Sarah managed to get us free tickets (thank u!). I don't really know how to decscribe the Easter show...Full of rides, farm animal tents, show cats and dogs, woodchopping arena, sheepshearing tent. I think you get the idea.They also have what they call 'Show bags' which are basically bags full of sweets, toys etc. I got the Manning's a Bertie Beetle show bag and myself a cheese selection show bag. You know your a grown up when you pick the cheese bag over sweets!
