One of my favourite times of the week, Friday evening! It's been another gorgeous sunny Sydney day and I have 2 full days off ahead of me!!! Even on Sunday night when I start thinking 'ohhh why do weekends go sooo quickly? Work again tomorrow!' I can then look forward to seeing my beloved boyfriend who arrives home Monday afternoon after a week away! Life is good!!!! What more could a girl ask for??
Well since you ask.....for me not to be sitting in on my lonesome (apart from Libby Cat) staring at another computer screen (obviously the last 8 hours at work wasn't enough for me)! And instead enjoying a lovely glass of chilled Sauv Blanc with the rest of the after work 'suits' in the City and watching the sun set on another perfect 30 something degree day!
Don't feel to sorry for me though I indulge in this type of behaviour several times a week usually, which is why I made the decision that this weekend would be different! I'm very much looking forward to experiencing a Saturday morning with a clear head (quite a rarity at my house - Saturday mornings are usually spent looking for a cab back from the city)!
Tomorrow will definitely be a beach day! I have recently learned to love the ocean after carrying around a fear of the waves since I arrived here a year and a half ago!
M (my boyfriend) puts it down to me growing up in England and therefore never/ hardly ever visiting the seaside (aka beach). Holidays were taken in the Med where the water's like a bath and waves don't exist! So therefore he thinks I'm simply not used it.
I on the other hand have a slightly more dramatic version of why I don't like the sea (aka the ocean, as I'm constantly reminded to call it)............
It was one of those rare occasions in the UK where we were able to visit the shingled shores of the UK and long story short a wave broke on me forcing me under. I panicked and couldn't find the surface and Mum had to run in and rescue me! Now whether or not my fear stems back to this I don't know, but I much prefer my version to M's!
So anyway last Saturday the temperature hit 40 something degrees and I was splashing about ankle deep, paddling as I like to call it! Watching 6 year olds fearlessly running and jumping in and quite frankly feeling like a complete wimp, when I just thought right enoughs enough!! I was getting cranky as it was soooo HOT and the water was the only way to cool down, so I took the plunge, literally!! It felt so good! Of course my little heart was pumping like crazy but this was a major achievement for me and M was very proud - ahh! Not to mention the beach hair, sea salt works wonders! I just hope tomorrow the waves aren't too big and I can enjoy the water again without my friends thinking I'm a complete idiot! B's a total water baby while Miss.S won't go in as her fake tan will run so I guess I fill the gap in the market quite nicely...
Back to this evening..... I'm thinking movie, pizza and painting my nails the fabulous colour 'Red Hot Ayers Rock'..................HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!!!! SJ XXX
