My March Faves & Things I have loved in March 2019

April 28, 2019 by Vicky Leave a Comment

It seems like I am always saying how busy each month is but with each one it really does seem they are zooming by!

On 1 March I started a new job which is extremely busy and hectic but I am also loving it. The team I work with is great and it really makes a difference to work when you are in that environment I think.

Here are a selection of my favourite photos from March:

  1. (Left) This was taken at The Boundary in West End at after work drinks with my new work colleagues. It was lovely to get out and let my hair down with them.
  2. (Top Right) This is a gecko that hangs out on our kitchen window most nights. He enjoys the benefits of the light being on as it attracts the bugs aka his dinner!
  3. (Middle Right) This is the view from the balcony at my office over the city. I don’t get a chance to sit out there every day but I love the city view so its nice to have a lunch spot when there is time.
  4. (Bottom Right) The Aussie and I paid a visit to the Botanic Gardens at Mount Coot Tha finally and you can read more about it here.

Things I Have Loved

As I settled into the new job it was a fairly quiet month but we did get out and about a bit which was fun.

MOVIES:

It was a slow month for movies in March but I did manage to watch Greenbook with Naomi which I loved. The music was fantastic from the start and the story which is based on real life events was lovely to see unfold.

TV:

The Good Place I finally sat down to watch this show which was very funny! I have watched the series which are on Netflix so far and I loved how the show twisted and turned and it was not very predictable for me at least. I look forward to the newer series being published on Netflix in due course.

My January Faves

February 11, 2018 by Vicky Leave a Comment

January was a bit calmer than November and December turned out to be and looking through my phone pictures it appears I didn’t take a huge amount of photos but the ones I did take I loved.

January Favourites

Our first day of 2018 was spent in Manly at the wading pool with our friends who stayed for Christmas. It was a very lovely way to spend the day before we dropped them off at the airport for the next leg of their jounery and I’ve definitely never been swimming outside on New Years Day before!

Some of the Aussie’s friends stayed with us for a couple of nights whilst I was still on the Christmas break from work and we took them into the city via bus and ferry to go and have dinner at The Story Bridge Hotel which was delicious as always. I love the city view every time we visit but especially at night and can’t resist snapping a few photos.

Before going to see the Greatest Showman we stopped of for a coffee and I got to try out a white chocolate chai latte at the Max Brenner chocolate shop. To pour the latte you put the “tea pot” on top of the glass mug and it filters through. It was very sweet but also quite nice!

I tried out some protein pancakes and they were a touch hit and miss looks wise but tasted pretty good!

Another visit from our local possum and this time I fed her some carrots!

We had some of the Aussies family staying with us towards the end of the month so we took them to the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. It was the perfect excuse to hug a Koala (you cannot visit and not hold one I think) and we managed to spot a Tasmanian Devil (pictured) and a very cute platypus!

Also whilst the family was staying with us we spent an afternoon at Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast. It was a typical Aussie beach scene complete with lifeguards and we did some swimming and paddling!

Deliveries! I have had a few this month (oops). I forgot I ordered some healthy bars from The Daily Bar which I wanted to sample and apparently they forgot to send my order out so I got a few extra bars to sample!

New shoes and their pink ish! I don’t need new trainers at the moment but I got a good deal on them care of Groupon and picked these beauties out. I was previously fitted for this style when I bought my current pair of shoes and they fit perfectly and have never rubbed or caused blisters. The new pair are now stored away until my current pair have given up the support and I look forward to trying them out! It is also funny how much I love buying gym clothes these days!
