Sofa has arrived & Brisbane

Just an update, our sofa has finally arrived and it looks great. Only got a chance to sit on it for a few minutes before I had to head to Brisbane for work. Can't wait to get home and relax on the new sofa.

What an adventure we had getting to Brisbane. Firstly, our flight was delayed then cancelled. We managed to get on another flight 2 hours later, then that was delayed but finally took us to Brisbane. When we got there, the cab driver took us for a half hour drive around Brisbane!! He didn't know where he was going. Then when we finally arrived, the restaurant was closed so we ended up having pizza at 10pm. To top it off, there was a crazy guy back at the hotel! What a day.

Rooftop Spa

The other day we enjoyed using our rooftop spa in our unit block. It was the first time we have been able to use it since we moved in. It has either been cold or rainy or we have just been too busy. But it was the perfect day for it. The rooftop has a lap pool (which was way too cold to go in) and also a heated spa. What a great way to end the perfect day, relaxing in the spa while watching the sun set over Sydney. Total bliss.

Sailing & the Central Coast

Yesterday Uwe and I drove up the north coast for a mini holiday. It was nice to just get away and relax. Last week at sailing we won an Audi A6 to test drive for a week. So we got in the car and drove up the coast and stopped in Terrigal. While we were there, we watched a local rugby game, we had fish & chips for lunch and watched some fisherman scale their catch and feed the pelicans with the scraps. They are really beautiful creatures. we also watched boats come and go, people scuba diving and kids playing in the sand and water. We then headed to Ettalong Beach, checked into our room, walked along the beach and had a wonderful massage. It really was such a relaxing day.

Todays adventure - sailing on Sydney Harbour for Ladies Day. It was a beautiful day, very sunny, blue sky but little wind. Janet was the skipper today and she did a great job, we ended coming second in the race which was our best for the season. We headed back to the club for some refreshments and the prizegiving before heading home. We also had to give the keys for the Audi back :(

The Beginning

Well, its official. I have started a blog!! It didn't take me very long, did it? My reason for creating the blog? To share ideas and thoughts, display photos and scrapbooking pages and its a place to tell my story.

My partner and I recently bought our first home. Its a gorgeous two bedroom unit in the city and we love it. It took us a long time to find what we wanted at a good price. It is so much fun being able to decorate your own home exactly how you want it. Oh, the joy I am having. The only problem we have at the moment is we still don't have our sofa yet. For the last 6 weeks, we have been sitting in camping chairs in the living room and they are so uncomfortable. I can't believe it takes 7 weeks to make a sofa. I really just can't wait to be able to snuggle up with my partner on a sofa again, especially in this cold weather we are having.

Take care.
