The 21-week bump photo. Much to PB's dismay he couldn't get me to smile for this one. I've been feeling gloomy the last few days... I love being in Sydney, but I'm still adjusting and I miss my friends, who are spotted around the world but mainly in London and Melbourne. Working from home doesn't really provide much of an opportunity to get out and mingle either. So I've been thinking of short courses or something I can do to meet people, because I think if I stay in my own little bubble for too much longer I might go a bit la-la, and no poor kid wants a mother walking down the street muttering into her groceries. In the meantime I've found these 2 lovely blogs to keep the spirits up:

So sorry to hear you're gloomy - although it has made for a beautiful photo. I know exactly what you mean about being far from friends. I miss my friends lots and lots. And lots. Especially my lovely fellow bun-baking friends. Do you have a landline yet? Skype? In some ways I feel very close to my friends now because I have so much communication with them. And lots of pipe dreams to do a world tour to visit them all. It's amazing how connected you can feel to people who are so far away but there are of course those odd blue funky days when all they seem is far away. But know you are very much in my thoughts and am sending you lots of non-gloomy happy little bun and banana thoughts, Bex xxx
ReplyDeleteI miss you Anna. I know how you feel. Although I am completely content working from home I do miss the people and places and culture I know to be my old Aussie life. I had a European meltdown about 6 months after moving to Switzerland. But it did get better, eventually. Courses are a great way to meet like-minded souls. Let's Skype soon?
ReplyDeleteForgot to say...stunningly beautiful photo of you, the light and the mood are dreamy.

Thank you lovely ladies. I don't mean to be gloomy, but I guess you both know sometimes you just wish you had your buddies a little bit closer. I do feel like I'm having a bit of a meltdown – almost at the 6 month mark too! I'm so terrible, I don't have skype yet, but I will look into it so we can have virtual tea parties, with lots of cake. xx PS.Miss you both lots!
