The view
The lovely man who we booked our day trip with, and his mum. Both of whom fed us wine, bread and cheese. Not long after we’d just eaten a massive khachapuri. #sofull
He became a bitmoji!

Dinner back at the French restaurant we went to on our first date. Delicious and drunken. That chocolate mousse though.
Went for a little walk after Stuart left. Saw a cute squirrel.
Stuart came back over with wine in the evening to celebrate/commiserate me getting a job that I don’t want. He’s so cute. It’s so nice to see him twice in one day.
Then Jen came round! She finally saw my house and met Stuart. It was a fun little evening with Christmas songs and wine and snacks and silly conversations.
Feeling stronger and better already. It’s working.

Wine, wine, olives, wine, kissing.
Neat packing. Of the van and the container.
The event was fun. I like chatting to the women I work with. Even if the event didn’t get as much attention as it should have.

Coming home to my housemates. Shared cigarettes and wine and dinner. It’s nice when we’re all together.
The view down the river. The lit up bridges. The shard. It still takes my breath away.

What a day. It was my birthday and my first hot one ever. The whole day was amazing. From blueberry pancakes for breakfast to brilliant presents to the bushtucker wineries tour. I ate crocodile, kangaroo, bush tomatoes and handfuls of free chocolate. We drunk wines, ports and liqueurs and I had my first ever sparkling red wine.
We went for a swim at the beach, took family sea selfies and ate delicious salmon for dinner.
It was the best birthday I’ve ever had and I’m so lucky to have shared it with my wonderful family.
I got given flowers as a leaving present from a lovely customer at work. It was such a surprise.
And then I got given a bottle of wine 2 minutes later by another customer. I was so touched.
I put my flatmates bed together all by myself.
Huge lemons. The one on the left is a regular to large size lemon. The other one is massive!

Lots of free food from the end of the week at work.

Accidentally semi-shouting ‘cheese, Gromit’ in a momentary lapse in music and chat in the cafe at lunch.

It’s only 6 weeks until my parents arrive!
Remembering my dream as I walked to the tube and smiling at the ridiculousness of it. (If you’re wondering, it was about a group of pigeons flying close together to carry another pigeon on its back. They should do this, it looks cool.)
A wine and cheese party. With WAY too much cheese. And an amazing lime and mint cheesecake.
Walking along the docks and riverfront to get to my friends flat. Quiet and calming.
