Weekend Away

So I spent the weekend at my favourite hippy coastal town 'Byron Bay'. Took the 1 and a bit hour drive to get there and arrived at Belongil Backpackers right on the beach. They have a great cafe 'Treehouse Belongil' next to it and the chai tea is rather nice. We checked in for just Friday night and my girlfriend and I Tania cruised into town by foot on the beach. It's about a 20 minute walk. I was wishing I had my new camera though because the beach was glowing with a deep blue violet colour shining out of it and the stream of surfers lining the belongil and byron bay coast line looked liked little seals with there full body rashies on. We finally got to town and watched the sunset just in time.

There were dozens of people across the carpark and on the rocks watching the sunset with us and then I could hear the beat of bongo drums behind me. So once the sun went down we went over to see the people on the rocks playing the bongo drums. So I had a little dance to the drumming as I always do. Just cant help myself the beat makes me want to move. So I was in Byron and in the swing of things and it only took me under half an hour and I was no longer city girl but beach girl with a splice of hippy... :)


I was starting to feel hungry so went to my favourite vegetarian restaurant 'Cardamon Pod' which make a beautiful warm and cold selection of hari krishna food. Delicious but folks be careful not to over indulge. We came to Byron to go to the Glo Dance night which we thought was on Saturday night but I checked my facebook and it said it was on that night. So we raced home to get changed and picked up another friend who I met randomly back at Belongil backpackers. So the three of us piled up in the car and headed to the Durumbul Hall in Mullumbimby for the Glo dance. It was my first Glo dance so was looking forward to it. We arrived after driving down a long dark country road and once we were there saw the lights and was like great we're finally here and then couldn't see any parks so drove back to the front of the property and drove down onto the grass. Big mistake!!! The car got bogged, VERY bogged. Did I panic, did I get angry, did I scream?? All of the above. The good news is the car was de-bogged from a stranger in the dark. Thanks to my friend Cynthia who stayed with the car as I went into the Dance hall to check it all out. I kind of didn't stay in the mood, somehow having my car bogged 2 hours from home didn't stimulate or inspire me at this stage. We all stayed on to midnight though and got something out of the night whether it was good or bad.

Melbourne the city of Love

So it's been another beautiful day in the city of Brisbane. Just noticing the slightly cooler weather.
Been talking to my old friend Keryn from Melbourne. ahh what a lovely place Melbourne sounds. So I declared to my good friend who I shared a house with in Byron Bay in 2005 that I would visit her in Melbourne for my 36th birthday. It's a great idea. I've never been and although I'm not a fan of flying, it's only an hour and a bit flight. I think I'd like to go in January when the weather is warmer and of course the famous Australian Open is on then which is my favourite sport of all time 'Tennis'. Oh yeah I love watching the tennis and playing tennis when I'm not throwing my racquet after not getting my serve in.

Just skyped Keryn and we chatted about all things, but mainly about on-line dating, being single and where to meet the one, the great mystery of all - (finding a soul mate). You see the one thing me and Keryn have in common is being single... yes yes yes... It's great to know I'm not the only one alive that is single and looking for love in the city. Thank you Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City for being my one and only saviour and helping me through my days of singledom. 

Keryn and I both give each other comfort and say supportive things to one another like. It's alright you'll find that guy, he's around the corner or something like that. At least we don't spray those cliques~ 'when you love yourself, someone will love you' or 'when you least expect it it will happen' or the worst of all 'there's plenty of fish in the sea' arrrrgggghhhh... I don't know how many times I have heard that one.

It's hard to stay cool, calm and collected about being single when everyone is asking you 'have you found a boyfriend yet'.... Found a boyfriend?? How come I have to find one. Why can't this guy come fishing and look for me wherever he is.... :) On that note, I'm going to go watch some more sex and the city because it's my chocolate ice-cream and I love it.... Good night~

Chocolate helps

I have been sitting here all alone feeling sorry for myself and wondering what will I do now. Okay so I guess I should fill you in. I have been working as an office temp for the past decade on and off you know in boring jobs, dead end jobs, did I mention government jobs. LOL. Not really finding any love through the experience except for a couple of really hot office flings which I have to say left me out of a job in the end... and with a broken heart. boo hoo!!!!! I mean really what was I thinking anyway. Finding love at work is a no no right? Well that's where I've found the majority of my romances in life.

So where does a girl go when your all out of office romance and you'd rather go to the dentist than find your life partner on line. I'm sorry I just don't dig it. I like to meet people the natural way. The organic way. I know everyone knows someone who's met their girlfriend, wife, husband, boyfriend, pet, whatever online but it's still not going to convince me to do it. End of story ---------------------  but I will accept a dark and handsome stranger in the meat section of the grocery store on the rare occasion. Sorry hasn't happened. Just a fantasy actually but not in the meat section, probably the fruit and veg would be more suitable while picking sweet potatoes or something. ;)

Now it's got me thinking of chocolate. Sorry while writing I'm eating my favourite organic dark chocolate piece by piece and it does take the edge of no man next to me kissing my neck and telling me how beautiful I look.

Does that really happen to anyone??? women come on.. So yes I'm single, 35 and I'm not going to say I'm desperate but it wouldn't be right if I didn't tell you the truth. So I am feeling a little anxious that time is creeping towards the 40 end mark and unlike Bridget Jones who did find Mr Darcy when she was still cute and loveable and a young 32. It's not all bad news because my last lover he was umm 23... and as they keep saying 'Cougars are In'..... rowl,,, grrr and all that. I wonder if there are other 35 year old women like me around, cause it just seems to look like they're all married, in relationships, gay or in the nunnery. ! Just saying....
