sydney day: 1 & 2
yesterday i:
-got up early and flew over some dry countryside and lovely mountains
-had breakfast in the air
-arrived in sydney, caught taxi to my sister's house
-met my sister's girlfriend's sister and her nearly 4 year old daugher, who i kinda bonded with
-met my sis and gf's rainbow lorikeet (who seems to be called Squarky unless a better name is found)
-lazed around, got the tour of the house (small) and the veggie garden (amazing! and they've only lived here for 3 months)
-went for a walk with the small fry to get some native flowers for Squarky to eat
-went out for dinner (vietnamese - nom)
today i:
-met m and h at Paddington Market, had coffee (omg hello coffee) and wandered round for a long while, looking at stalls (jewellery, clothes, prints, etc)
-had a shoulder, neck and head massage (omg hello massage)
-exchanged texts with my mum, my housemate and lydia-petze (restrained self from saying "i'm easy", instead said "i'm open to suggestion..." as to what we do when we meet up in sydney later in the week)
-looked at the top gear book in a bookshop and LOLed. (james may, ilu)
-successfully navigated a couple of buses in a public transport system i can make neither head nor tail of (i've got around berlin, munich, barcelona, madrid, london, stockholm, rome, milan, paris and prague, pretty much by myself, not really speaking any other languages than english, and had very few problems. but WTF is with sydney? the multitude of buses and routes MAKES NO SENSE and the fares and types of tickets and all that MAKES NO SENSE either. WTF, SYDENY, WTF?)
-was momentarily locked out of the house, so i dozed in the backyard and watched planes disappear into clouds
-and now i'm waiting for my sis to come home with some milk so i can have a cup of tea (see icon) which i am DYING for
-later tonight i'm going to meet up with m again for drinks and then we'll meet h and go see the film American Teen at a cinema where you sit on the floor with beanbags (which will be the beginning of my target 100 films for this year, you know that meme? well, i'm doing it!)
hope you're all well. :D
