After a relaxing few days in Sydney and a delayed flight I'm back in Melbourne counting down the hours until the cool change sweeps through the state.
Overall I did well, returning with just one addition to my library, Across the Nightingale Floor by Lian Hearn. While the cover and Japanese themes have always grabbed my attention, I'm fascinated by the concept of a nightingale floor. Perhaps I should add that to the list of random things that might be cool to have in a house (I've been watching Grand Designs again).
Having enjoyed a few days off (it only counts as a holiday if I'm elsewhere... while I'm down in Melbourne not working it's more like unemployment or being lazy) I'm ready to tackle the grand task of sorting out my life. I'm currently considering treating that as a job in itself. It's the control freak in me really.
Anyhow, tomorrow I'm going to start my lists afresh. Set new deadlines for various bits of paperwork and generally spring clean my life and get rid of as much clutter as possible. We'll see how long the enthusiasm holds... hopefully long enough to spark the next challenge!
It's good to be back at work though, even if it's not the challenge I'm seeking, at least there's some structure to my day to keep me from languishing in the comfort zone that is Melbourne.

What is your new job, Sarah? Any recommendations from your time in Sydney? We're headed there this weekend :)
Currently working on Summer Fun in the City and then it's onto St Kilda Festival (so you have to come and visit!)
Wish I was heading up to Sydney this weekend! Had a lovely time. Check out the festival, there's heaps on and it looked like a good program. There was a cool sounding free show in the Botanic Gardens where you get a GPS & pocket pc to guide you around.
Skip on Ocean World, but bring a hat and sunnies and head down to Manly for brunch, there's a great restaurant café for lunch there. Umm... that's about it really. Plenty to do but I basically just chilled out and caught up with people while I was up there so I didn't get around to seeing too much. Oh and I think you can watch Gladiators being filmed in Homebush if that catches your fancy
