I love- Cheesefest

Almost two weeks ago we went to Adelaide for : Cheesefest 2010 http://www.cheesefest.com.au/about.php

Ah it was amazing! I wish i took lots of photos of the stands but sadly i sat down, a bottle of wine and food suddenly was there and i didn't move :)

I ate so much cheese i thought i was going to be sick and then drank enough wine to make me think " I am a awesome dancer, I'm so going to bust move".

Cheesefest cost $15 how cheap! Then wine is about $18-$34 a bottle, $6-$8 beer (expensive), and amazing food from $6-$20. What i love about it all is that you sit there sharing everything and hopefully its with people you like (lucky for me it was).

Our wine of choice

John beer of choice

Mmm chocolate waffles

Tuesday- Changing my thinking on

How to deal with stress.

Old way: Freaking out and hiding

New way: Make a list

Now i make lots of lists but when i get really overwhelmed i hide :)

But we need to be out of our place by the 20th November and if anyone has tried to rent in Sydney you know why i would rather hide :)

This weekend we will be looking at places and finishing up packing what we can.

All About..... John

That beautiful man is my love....John.

So what can i tell you about him?

He is from South Africa (so he has that beautiful deep voice) and came to Australia almost 4 years ago. He is an industrial designer. And has just started doing web design www.bringmebusiness.com.au

John is an amazingly talented artist/designer. His pictures/painting/furniture are AWESOME. But like all people who have a natural talent he just says "Oh its not that good".

A few random things about my love

* He slurps his tea

* He loves good food

*He is an amazing cook

*He is learning Japanese

*He likes to sing random songs and do little dances when getting ready for work

*He makes me smile

Love this man!!!

The week that.....

Made me say..... ENOUGH!!!!!

Now at the moment everything to me feels up in the air but i am hoping by the end of the day a clear plan will be written. That's just how i work. I NEED a checklist, a folder and a highlighter. Yes i know you cant plan life but like they say " If you fail to plan, you plan to fail". For me nothing is too hard its just overwhelming! Being the zodiac sign of cancer, just like a crab i love to hide in my shell. But this is the time that i need me to just use the protective armour for getting things done.

So i strayed off topic (which I'm sure your all ready aware that is something i do)

We want to and are going to move back to Adelaide but how to start...well i will get back to you on that.

So the week (and a bit ) that was.....

10th of October- We went to the Sydney Fish Markets with friends (visiting from South Africa) we had a lovely time until it came to paying for parking ...2 hours $28 dollars oh that is bargain!!!!

11th of October- Went into work and was told they will no longer be needing me to do extra shifts in the new year as i am not allowed to work over the 30 hours I'm contracted for.

12th of October- Went into second job only to find they cancelled the shift but didn't bother to tell me...thanks

13th of October- Sat in traffic for 50 mins only to then have the clutch in my car go. $864.00 later

14th of October- Was told our rates (at work) are changing so ill be earning $0.98 cents less an hour and that they are still sorting out my super (Ive been there a year!!!)

15th of October- John receives $174 fine because he was not parallel parked. I will point out there is actually no sign saying you had to be and NONE of the other cars were either.

16th  of October -AWESOME flew to Adelaide

17th of October- AWESOME cheesefest

18th of October- I picked up DP from work (in the city) google said 30 minutes ...Sydney time 2 hours!!!

19th of October - We deiced after a year of traffic, over 20 grand in RENT!!!, never getting ahead, rude people we have had enough and want to move back to Adelaide.

20th of October- Tree falls on power line takes 3 hours to get to work!

21st of October- Get a lovely note saying. We have sold the unit and you have 30 days to leave.Even though the whole time they have told us "No to worry, you'll be able to stay on"

Ok this seems like "oh your just being a sook" BUT this is pretty much our week by week living. Of course its not always a car problem but its ALWAYS something.

Now i know life will kick you in the guts no matter where you are BUT the thing that is missing from this is being able to call up a mate and say "God what a day, fancy a wine?" and then seeing someone beautiful face of friendship. I miss being surrounded by love. We are both so lucky we have people who love us for being us, its rare to find. Here I've just been told "Your so loud" , "why do you were op shop clothes, are you broke?" " Your air fairy ways wont work here" "why are you laughing?" HONESTLY!!!

Anyway I'm not really sure what the point of this post is but i guess we will just have to see how things unfold :)

Back to my new format tommorow ...update on my goals :)

Thanks for reading. Much love xoxo
