Monthly Drop In

Howdy friends,

Thought I'd try and recall the events of the month and pop them here in my blog for all to see. It's largely been an uneventful month, which is great after the events of the last few years!

Hmm, well, I started off the month attending The Sydney Writer's Festival; and now I am seeing a few films at The Sydney Film Festival, and overall I am feeling like I am a living part of this city, even with all the recent rains and strong strong winds.

My detox continues and I am barely drinking and smoking, it is getting easier and it's nice to settle down into a rather unscattered pattern of being. I actually get hungover again, and I'm not used to those morning headaches anymore, that last all day!

Work has kept me very engaged and absorbed, I continue to enjoy my job and count my blessings daily. I am becoming more interested in reading and literacy and am beginning to conjure a few dreams of my career for the first time in years! My confidence is growing and my pay keeps food on the table, happy happy...

Mark is beautiful and we spend lots of time together, just the way you are meant to at the beginning of a relationship! We have been watching The Sopranos series by series through all the bad weather and have about 100 episodes to go. We eat raisin toast and drink hot chocolate every Saturday and Sunday for breakfast, read a lot, and generally hang out. I'm not bored yet and neither is he!

I have recently read 'The Secret River' by Kate Grenville and although it's an interesting plot, don't really recommend it. However go see the film 'Zodiac' if you want to scare the pants off yourself!

Listening to: 'Illinoise' - Sufjan Stevens, ' Transfiguration of Vincent' - M Ward, 'Release the Stars' - Rufus Wainwright
I recommend all of these albums....

All the other silly stuff I stumble over, scroll down - I update my blog every few days.

Love to youse, Laura xx
