Melbourne Pics :) my first week in a new place

So its been an awesome 1st week :) heres the photo evidence haha.

My beautiful ring :) it's Mystic Topaz.. i saw this stone when i was in melbourne in june last year and i didn't know what it was called.. then when we were in St Kilda for St Kilda Fest on Sunday i saw it and it makes me so happy haha. its more beautiful in person.. it shines purple and green. and it was $60.. the one i saw in june was $90 so im so happy with it :)



Megan Washington at St Kilda Fest.. she was so good :)

the crowd.. before it got packed.

Jess in her wicked hat :)

Wish i'd stayed longer but it was cold in the morning so i had jeans on and i was just way too hot and bothered!

This is what the work lunchroom looked like on my last day.. i nearly cried!

cake, surrounded by cupcakes, surrounded by choccies :)

Blake and Alysha at Mexican.. miss these guys too much :(

Life

So haven't posted since my holiday pics.. what's new?

IV'E MOVED TO MELBOURNE!!
i've been here since tuesday and it's been alot of fun so far.

Had alot of sad goodbyes but i'll see everyone again.. i have Leonie and Jess here and Kate's at Wagga- only 4 hours train away. The hardest goodbye was Aaron of course, but he'll be here in two weeks to visit then i'll go home to see him a few weeks later and then he'll come back again for comedyfest :) it's all working out quite well actually, although i miss him alot we're in contact heaps and sometime he'll move down.

So flew down on Tuesday & stayed at my friend Leonie's for 2 nights.. had a bit of fun, saw Sherlock Holmes for the 2nd time.. love it :).
Then got myself properly settled here :) Rich made my bed and i bought a mattress and a wardrobe from Ikea and a few other bits.. still haven't put half of my clothes in it though.. still lying on my floor. Mostly hung around home.

I bought 2 goldfish yesterday :) Bernard & Manny (yes.. from BlackBooks. love it) & i'm thinking of getting a bike.


Today i went to St Kilda Festival with Jess and a few people from port who've moved down. saw In Sol Inside, The Good China & Washington.. all excellent, Washington was my favourite.. so amazing. but yeah it was just too hot for me to handle so came home & read some Fullmetal Alchemist.. good manga series.

There would be many photos.. including some nice ones of my floral wallpaper hehe. but yes my phones being stupid and wont let me upload them.

hope it lets me soon
