Swollen

I am sorry!

Lots of reasons! Sorry I haven't written in daysI know how much the constant updates of my life enrich your own. I am also sorry that I broke the sweet/gym deal. Yes! It's true!

Yesterday, I ate the ears off of a chocolate easter bunny and I DID NOT go to the gym. However, it has been brought to my attention that, apparently, only breaking it once is in fact an achievement. So...Hoorah! Go me!

Lots of cool stuff has been happening. Like, i'm still sick. Yipee! Massively swollen/sore throat. Okay, cut the sarcasm - that was horribly 14 year old of me. Of COURSE being sick is not cool. But what is cool is that the reason I skipped the gym yesterday is because I went to a really cool talk in the city about the human dimensions of urban planning. Why was I there? Who knows! But it was really great.

The speaker was Jan Gehl and he was so so funny and inspiring. It's people like him that give me hope for the future of mankind. While I admit that may have sounded ridiculously dramatic it's also completely true. I get this weird kind of depression occasionally that I like to term 'global depression'. It's when I find myself feeling entirely helpless and depressed at the state of the globe. Which is why I find men like Jan Gehl to be amazing.

I also had a lovely dinner at the Lewis household. It's such a delight to have met some really great new people, I find it to be a hard task in Melbourne for some reason.

I started back at work today and i'll be helping my sister out with some work over the next few days which is always good. I like being able to help her out - she works really hard and she's awesome and pays me though she could probably make me do it for free.

I KNOW I've been bad with photos, BUT, I have been taking them. It's just a matter of getting them all onto my laptop from my camera and my mobile and...I know that doesn't sound hard but it is.

Oh, I also made jam with Nova the other day. Fabian's house has a Feijoa tree that was absolutely laden with fruit - so we jammed the shit out of it.

Oh, about the sweet/gym thing. It's going really well. I feel great and a lot healthier, I'm definatelly going to try and stick to it.

Love Nani xx
