Shadows At Play

Last weekend was spent packing up the boy's life into boxes to move him away from this place. The weather was of course sublime and this is the view from across his street. The morning walk once he gets to my place will be very different. He's coming home to a real winter in the gritty city. Makes me wonder if we made the right decision for him to move here rather for me to move there. We will soon find out as on Sunday, I'm bringing him home for keeps.

Hanging Around

Last time I was in the Gold Coast, Mr was at work and I could take my sweet time to discover a new cafe, gnaw at some gluten free toast and sip on a latte over the Saturday Spectrum before he brought home all his height in his heavy boots and his gentle hands.

This weekend though, I am without boy...but not for much longer! After 14 return flights between us our 15th flight will have us meet in Melbourne and fly back to Sydney together for our first shared plane trip when I bring him home for keeps.

Naked Devotee

I had a little time to myself on the weekend as Mr was working on sacred Saturday and I was blissfully left to my own devices. Sitting in Piccolo after a 10.30am sleep in, I read the local papers, drank lattes and came across Naked, THE city guide for the Gold Coast.

The remainder of the afternoon was hence spent ploughing through the glitz of the GC with the guidance of Naked to discover the many cultural, arty, creative gems that unbeknownst to Mr, (creature of habit) even existed. Vintage Espresso was absolutely adorable, I am going back camera in hand to ask permission to take some pics and to do the place justice. Worth the trip alone is an afternoon sitting here. GC here I come.
