This and That

HI!!!
It's 10:30pm, I'm thinking of bed very shortly, but just thought I'd write a little more and put up some pictures :)
I went out with the whole work crew Saturday night, free alcohol all night! Lets just say i felt it yesterday ha ha. but i had a really great night, there is a good little crew at work, and they are all young, which is great for me.
Then yesterday I caught up with one of the girls i made friends with at bar school. Her name is Sofia, she's from Argentina, really nice girl! so we went out for dinner and she drank (I could barely look at the stuff ha ha)all in all had a really lovely day :)
Worked this morning, which i was nervous about because it was promo work and i haven't done sales since December so was a bit rusty, but was really fun! started at 7 30am (to early on a Monday!) but was finished by 3, so went and spoiled myself and had lunch around the corner from work, and walked around St Paul's, am writing a list of all the things i want to see with either Rich or Josh.. And yes SUPER excited about Richie coming over! will be wonderful!
I've also had two people in a day tell me my painting is good. Ben even wants me to paint one on his wall! ha ha I must be doing something right!
Not alot else is new, working 5 times this week! a lot but some extra cash! and starting to get excited as the weather has just been so so beautiful! making me a lot happier! :) anyway i will leave you with just a few pictures of things i've been doing :)

St Art that was being painting the other day across the road from home

St Paul's Cathedral, such a beautiful building!

Yes i know what your thinking, I am one classy bird haha

I Love the daffodils

almost the weekend

It's another amazingly beautiful day!! 
although I did have the heater on, which I got in trouble for, like mother like daughter ha ha.
I had a lovely day the other day, I went to lunch with Lovisa (it was sunny and very body looked so happy. it's true that the weather really does control your mood! I then went and had a beer with Ben at this little pub in the middle of a park and its the only building there, very odd looking but very sweet. I then came home and watched bear grills ha ha, perfect day (and i also now know how to get back to civilisation if i were to get stuck in South America ha ha)
I worked last night until 1 30, was enjoyable for work. Today has been nice, been to brunch with Ben and I also bought a bike! it was on the side of the road next to the beautiful little cafe we went to (right on the canal, looking over at the Olympic stadium.)
The bike was only 50 quid! which is a bargain around these parts, so Ben helped me bring it home and he's going to help me do it up! I've chosen a pretty blue colour for it.. it will be the talk of the town! ha ha. and will also save me on tube cost, which will be nice. (yes mum i will wear a helmet and be very careful on the roads :) ha ha, but truthfully, so many people don't wear helmets over here and it worries me.)
as for tonight I am working, Hopefully will finish at 1am but will see how we go, and then a sleep in tomorrow and get working on my bike! :) looking forward to it.

another day of sunshine!

OK so i didn't go to Paris or Edinburgh, but I did go shopping :S ha ha, well it didn't start out as shopping, it started out as me going into westfield's to, again try and get my bank account set up (and yet again, not being successful! honestly it shouldn't be this hard, how do all the  other Aussies do it!!) anyway great marketing strategy for everything else by having a bank in a westfields, because i went shopping ha ha, but i will do myself justice by saying it was for spring/summer stuff.. one because i only had a 20kg limit and my bag was no jokes 19.9kgs haha and two because i assumed England was forever cold (it's not, word of the wise ha ha) today i was actually only in a cardigan when coming home from work at 9:30pm!! (a new cardigan i might add, its maroon and very pretty, ha ha.) so that was my day yesterday, it was a beautiful day, sunny and what not! and i bought some very pretty clothes, a dress, a cardigan, some tops, some shoes (which i desperately needed!)and some undies ha ha. so it wasn't money wasted. today i was going to have  a late lunch with Lovisa, before she heads back to Sweden but i got called into work, so i worked, but it was quiet so that made it all the bit better. Lunch is tomorrow now! looking forward to it! and Joshua Hogan comes over soon which I am so excited about!
All in all I had an amazing day, and I'd also like to congratulate Louise and Justin on bringing there absolutely Gorgeous Daughter into the world! She is so beautiful!!! (I love facebook, as it has already given me the chance to see her!) to bad i can't be there to meet her + distract the boys so Lou and Jus can have some quiet time ha ha.
Not a lot planned for the rest of the week, i am working Thursday Friday night so might go to Trafalgar square tomorrow or the London eye! ha ha something touristy must be done!
bye for now! xx
p.s HAPPY BIRTHDAY STU!! Love you x

Another 11 degree day!

Hi!
I hope everyone had a nice, relaxing weekend. It is a beautiful day today!!! the sun is out and It's about 11 degrees, mum you'd love it ha ha.
It was Mother's Day on Sunday, so i ventured off to surrey to see Holly and spend the day with her and the family (i took her some flowers, i know I'm sweet ha ha, but she has done a lot for me so it was a nice little thank you) it was a really nice day, we had lunch at a nice country pub/restaurant and although it was about 6/7 degrees it looked beautiful and there were hardly any clouds in the sky! my favourite thing about a day like yesterday was seeing all these people on the tube/train with flowers.. these people do have compassion, they aren't just robots! (has been a suspicion of mine for a while now ha ha)
I am actually looking up the train to Paris right now. I was going to see if Lovisa (the girl i was suppose to be moving in with) wanted to come, as she is leaving back to Sweden on Thursday and I'll have to be back for work Thursday, if not i might just leave this afternoon and spend tomorrow and Wednesday there :) we'll see.. My French hasn't exactly improved since i was 12, ha ha but i do know my colours, so if all else fails I'll just start listing off the colours :S
I also got a lovely call from miss Jessica Reid the other day, was very lovely to hear here voice and hear about what she was up too!
So that's pretty much where I'm at right now. I've been a bit sick again! but that's just me i think.
Bye for now!

art

So I'm not going to say what time I got up today, all I will say is it was late ha ha, my body clock is so confused and the working until all hours has changed it back to Aus time lol. But when I did manage to drag myself out of bed i decided to spend, what day I had left painting :). I wasn't exactly sure what to paint, so I just painted whatever my hand drew really, and after showing them to dad i can now tell you that one means I'm isolated ha ha another means my mood changed and the other one is bright so I guess that means I'm happy? lol I'll put them up so you can see what my day consisted of.
 I've also decided to write a list of things i want to do in London before I blink and it's all over. I will also put that up, so you can keep track and nag me to do it!
Tomorrow sadly my day consists of working again 5pm until early hours, then makeup Thursday, Friday :). Although I do have the weekend off, and It's St Patrick's Day ha ha, I'm sure there will be pictures!

this is just them on a piece of paper, i was going to take a picture of all the individual but well, this was easier ha

A few little shots

Just a few pictures :)

how beautiful

This was a picture i took and changed into a scretch. love the Iphone. 

A day in and around Shoreditch

So after an intensive few days with work! makeup and bar, i spent the weekend recovering.. (the life of working ha ha) i will mention it was only two days worth, but still! it was a huge two days.
So after a relaxing weekend of movies and some chocolate ice cream! i thought i should venture out and once again explore my new city, and the cleaner was coming so i had to leave the house ha ha. I decided to wonder down to Shoreditch. So i hopped on the number 8 bus and i was off! at 20km/h hitting EVERY red light and stopping a thousand times (it probably would have been quicker for me to walk) but i finally arrived at my destination! 
WHAT NOW! i didn't have any plans or really know anywhere i wanted to go.. and.. i couldn't find my camera ha ha.. so i literally just wondered! again there is the coolest and weirdest street art/people/places in shoreditch, the culture here is like nothing I've ever seen. its a mix of rockabilly/cool kid's/ muso's/artists/homeless ha ha. but there is something so captivating about it! anyway i know i talk about it a lot so i thought I'd do my best and use my Iphone to capture what i see! tomorrow i am venturing to see the London eye i think! something i should of done when i got here! and also find a few cool little galleries.
I also now have a little podge (chubby belly) (something I'm not very pleased about!!) sadly its my own fault! to much alcohol and pasta! ha ha so a run may be in order!
I hope you enjoy the pictures!!

Being a Tourist

Me at Buckinham Palace

Tuesday

so it's a Tuesday and I'm sitting on a super comfy lounge deciding what to do with my day (bear in mine its 4pm ha ha), listening to the shins, looking up street art ha ha (productive). its miserable outside, but the weather is never going to change so i have to make the most of it. I've decided on three things i want to buy, an airbrush (can use for my makeup too), canvas and paint. Shoreditch has reminded me how much i love painting! (If you don't know where shoreditch is google it or look up east London street art, these people are incredible!
Lovisa (girl from hostel - Lovely) and I are on a mission tomorrow to find a place, we are very sick of the hostel! there is only so much time one can share a room with 11 other girls! so that will be amazing, just difficult as it's so different to aus, none of this 23rd story, beautiful views business ha ha, looking at tiny rooms, tiny bathrooms and constant tube rides ha ha. but worth it. I have been having that 'week' (everyone has it I'm sure) where I've tried to decide if I've made the right decision to pick up and move half way across the world, having the cold/flu and no sleep didn't help these feelings, but waking up today and realising that I'm so lucky to even have the chance to be here and the atmosphere over here is incredible  and the fact that I'm 2 hours away from Paris made me realise that YES it was a good decision and i have to 'pull my head in' (ha ha) but its true, I'm here to enjoy what the English have to offer and i will!
I am going to start painting again and looking for makeup work, and maybe even dabble in some photography, who knows, the world is my oyster!
(mum, dad i am OK. i know you've had a few msg's over the past few days but i am happy and loving it!)
will organise a trip to Paris soon, so there will definitely be pictures from that, and I'm going to start doing some travelling around England! i really want to see Edinburgh, there are a lot of ads for it, looks beautiful.
anyway I'm not to sure how these work so read it if you want, don't if you don't want to ha ha.
also if you have ideas on places i should visit please let me know! I'm ready to explore!

London



(pic by Billy Brown)

so this is my new home. London, do i love it? YES, do i hate it? YES ha ha. but all in all its an adventure I'm ready to take! bring on the next two years!
so far I've been a bit lazy, I've only seen a few sights and I'm not going to lie i haven't even seen the infamous big Ben!! but i did get a job! working in a very classy bar and doing some makeup work with Holly (who i am so grateful to have here, by the way) so I've been so flat out and it's only just begun!  
I've also met some amazing and talented people. The art is incredible over here and the talented people make it worth it. There was a man in Piccadilly the other day plumping out the most amazing tunes with buckets! I did take a video but accidentally deleted it, when i see him again i will be sure to put it on.. (jaws will drop!) 
i just thought i'd put this picture up because its beautiful and it really does capture london. i'm sure there will be plenty more pictures to come!
