Now that August is almost over I find it almost pointless for me to blog about things that happened in June/July and give them their own blog. I know I have been kinda slack. 

So I thought that I would put some of the photos I took up on the blog, even though they are not getting their own post. Just because they are getting in the way, and if I don't post them now I probably won't ever.

Here is a quick round up of things that I did in June/ July that would have had their own posts at the time, but don't now because I have forgotten what happened most days.

Enjoy!

Taco Tuesday

My all time favourite Mexican restaurant opened up an establishment here in Melbourne, and I was super excited about it. So we headed out to The Beached Burrito Company in Fitzroy and enjoyed some marvellous tacos.

The 10 hour drive

Heading back to Sydney by car takes a hell of a lot of time. Luckily I had a good friend with me and we passed the time by having a massive singalong to Taylor Swift (our personal queen) for the entire trip.

Some pretty skies

Early morning winter skies on my drive to work.

Return to Melbourne

Once again the long drive, accompanied by my wonderful uncle and aunt.

Can you tell I like nature shots.

Footscray Community Arts Centre

Visiting my cousin at work and stumbling upon their current (at the time) exhibition called What Lies Buried Rises. Which was a beautiful collection for NAIDOC week at the centre. 

Gertrude Street Projection Festival

A festival that celebrates projection art. Using familiar buildings of the street and projecting art pieces on them. 

Hopefully from this point on I will be more up to date with my posts and won't log a large collection of picture meant to go up, but not actually going up when intended.

Do you hear the people sing? with Les Miserables

It no secret at all that I am a musical theatre fan, just go back to my post about Wicked from last year, to see how much so. They are something that I adore more than life and something that I spend way to much of my free time thinking (and jamming out to) than I would like to admit.

So when I FINALLY!! got the chance to see Les Mis in Sydney I died on the inside.

This was one of the few musicals that I have always wanted to see live, it's a musical that is in my top 5 favourite shows, even though I hadn't seen it live until this year.

I am such a big fangirl about this musical. I love almost everything thing about it, and constantly have the songs stuck in my head. So when I got tickets to go and see it for my birthday with my beautiful mother and aunt I was over the moon.

Seeing it live on stage lives up to expectation, much better than watching the 25th anniversary and movie version on my computer. Even though I have a total girl crush on Samantha Barks, who was in both of those versions. Seeing it live in front of my own eyes was magical. 

Also the cast that they had were amazing and so very talented. 

It's such a powerful musical and is so glorious to watch.

What is your favourite musical? and have you gotten to see it live?

Melbourne road trip: day 2

After a fairly good nights sleep we ventured out to find some coffee and headed back on the road. 

This time I was driving, so there aren't as many photos as I wasn't able to take them myself and I am quite picky when it comes to what deserves to get a photo taken of. 

Once we finally arrived in Melbourne we went and had dinner with some family friends in the Williamstown Botanic Gardens, a beautiful seaside garden. Which was a nice way to end the long two day drive.

Now onto the next stage of craziness, preparing myself for my second year at university.

September Update 2014.

Hey guys,

So September marks the last full month of my first year of university, which is super exciting. It also means that it is officially spring in Australia, although I think someone should tell Melbourne that because it's still super cold here somedays. And it also means that soon it will be summer, which I can't wait for. So I thought I would just do a few small updates on things.

1. Things will be getting busy for me over the next few months as I have 7 assignments left to finish off before I can truly be on holidays. Which is not something I will be looking forward to doing. I hate assignments.

2. With my soon to be found freedom in fourish weeks time I will be able to get out more and do some fun and adventurous things around Melbourne, which I haven't been able to do yet. Which I plan to post about when I can.

3. I plan on introducing a few new blog series on here. Which will hopefully start in October and will include things like my monthly favourites and maybe a monthly book club or something, in which I share my favourite things and books or whatever. I will also be continuing the 50 faces project when I get home to Sydney in November.

4. More free time means more adventures and blog posts, so once all my work is finished for the year I should hopefully be blogging a bit more.

5. Summers coming up so I hope to have some fun adventures plan to share with you guys. I just need to figure out what they will be.

6. October will also be a month of relaxation for me as once my assignments are finished I will need a little bit of down time to relax and chill out a bit so that should be fun.

I hope you are all having a wonderful day,

Winter beach trip.

Hey guys,

So being home has been great, I have gotten some much needed relaxation done and have caught up with a few friends I haven't seen in a while. 

Two of my friends and I have a tradition of sorts of going to the beach together, no matter the weather. So we managed to get together and do so.

Manly beach is by far my favourite beach in Sydney. Lots of people ask me about Bondi, but I personally prefer Manly. It's not as busy and I feel that it is nicer, so whenever I get the chance I try and go.

Whist the weather was a bit crazy. With it raining one minute and then sunny the next, it was sort of the perfect day to go to the beach. Admittedly we didn't swim, it was too cold for that, we did still enjoy the sand and being in a place that we enjoy visiting. 

Yes that's a double rainbow.

It's a fun trip getting to manly, because you get to ride the ferry to get there, a rare occurrence when you live in the middle of the city and nowhere near any ferry docks in both Melbourne and in Sydney.

Even though the day started with rain, Sydney did end up putting on a good weather show, even if it didn't last all day. Beaches are a place that I love going to, so being back home for a while and so close to one was an absolute joy. And the company wasn't bad either.
