Ups (and downs)

DOWN: Friday night was horrible, the heat was unbearable and although I slept (again) on the couch, it didn't help, I got to sleep at 3.

DOWN: I had to wake up at 7.10 on a Saturday morning. Appalling, appalled.

DOWN: Bloody bus system in Sydney sucks utterly. After I had been waiting for 20 minutes I walked to another bus stop - don't know what I was thinking. Popped into Starbucks on the way and forgot to pour sugar in my Caramel Cappuccino. Yuck. Arrived at Circular Quay just in time to miss my ferry to Manly which left at 8 sharp. Next one was at 8.35... which made me late.

UP: The harbour in the morning was so quiet and looks unreal and the ride on the super fast Jetcat was well worth waking up early.

UP: I SURFED TWO WAVES! Very big improvement since last time when due to storm I almost drown (no kidding).

UP: Had fun with M. and folks!

UP: got a little bit of a tan.

UP: So full of energy that I got home at 3.15 and left 15 minutes later for yoga which was great and energizing.

UP: Had one too many drinks before dinner to celebrate Lee's birthday! The place in Newtown is very nice and cocktails are superb. Dinner was fun (also cos I was under the influence).

UP: I have only vague recollection as to what happened in the club after dinner.

DOWN: at one point a guy was trying to convince me that all the people in Oz are rejects of the world - it's true they started as convicts but hey...

DOWN: I spent too much. Oh well...

UP/DOWN: J. woke me up at 9 (I'm sure he didn't mean to) because he decided that he wanted to do the dishes. Which reminded me that I wanted to go the beach and stay away from people. So I took a bus for Bronte.

UP: The day was gorgeous, the beach was half empty and the waves were big.

UP: I swam with Hugh Jackman and saved (and almost killed shortly after) his son. It's not me or my swimming skills, it was the waves... Anyways, nobody noticed the drool from my mouth cos I was hardly ever floating...

UP: I got a tan. :p

DOWN: I missed a few spots here and there on my back with sunscreen so now I look like a leopard BUT nobody really is gonna see that, is it?

UP: Had Luca time up until John came back from tennis because...

UP: It started raining.

UP: I'm going to the movies for a chick flick, 27 earings, or something AND I am gonna have sushi - or kebab, not decided yet.

Pretty good weekend.
