Steam


…I think I’ve run out of it.

I need inspiration. I’m dealing with feelings of super itchy feet at work and in life. TOH and I are thinking about what to do with ourselves. I haven’t a clue really. There is a potential plan but it depends on other stuff. The other stuff would be good if that were to happen and if not, then plan B would be cool too. All in all, I’m feeling unsettled, a bit trapped by circumstance and that I’ve tons of potential (not exactly sure what kind it is but I’m sure it’s there somewhere) that I’m not using.

Harrumph. It’s also making blogging difficult as I’m out of sorts and really unsure what to blog about. There’s always cake of course but I haven’t had any good cake for a while either. I’m in a bit of a blog desert (as opposed to my usual dessert), the nearest oasis isn’t even on my map, my tent is in tatters and my camel is getting moodier by the minute.

On Friday we went to see Swimming With Sharks, the play currently starring Christian Slater. It’s pretty good and Mr Slater was fine – I reckon he’d be pretty much able to turn his hand to most things on the stage really.
Yesterday my friend Malcolm and I went to watch the Dancing on Ice TV show being filmed. It was actually great fun; the fun element was enhanced by being able to have drinks in the bar afterwards with the skaters and the celebs. Malcolm is a good friend of one of the skating professionals (hence us being able to watch it being filmed). It was worth it for the free doughnut! It was hilariously cheesey but I now have a new respect for the poor celebrities shoved onto the ice like a troop of sequin/feather covered bambis. We were so close to the edge of the rink we could see the look of terror on their faces as they wobbled geriatrically around the ice, live on national TV. Horrendous pressure! Made my work/life indecision seem paltry.

Today, it’s grey and wet (yet again), I got on the train for my 1.5 hour journey to work and I just didn’t want to get off at my stop. I wanted to stay on it and see where it took me.

What to do?

Thoughts…?

Is home where your heart is…?

Hmmm… not sure. I love living in London but I really, REALLY miss being in Sydney. It’s made me so blue. I have moped about a fair bit since returning and work is too pants for words.

I went to the dentist this morning, which cheered me up a bit. Weird? Maybe, but none of you have seen my dentist. He is HOT! And he’s gay. Sadly his bf works at the same surgery but it really helps to have a sexy dentist. Is that wrong? To massively fancy your medical professional? I can’t help it. I think I might be a bit obsessed.

A quick summary of my trip to Sydney then…

Sunshine
Beach
Beer
Aren’t the men there just divine?!
Lovely bloggers – Monty and Muzbot were fabulous and I had a great day boozing it up with them – sadly I was only able to do it once.
Copacabana Beach
Swimming
Beer
Amazing food
New Years Eve fireworks
Did I mention beer?
My amazing, brilliant friends G & J
Dancing until 8am, 2nd Jan

Sigh. What to do? I’m not the happiest of chaps right now. I need something to cheer me up. Any suggestions? Nothing rude.

Actually, rude may cheer me up immensely, provided it’s creative! :¬)

Sorrow

Today is my last day in Sydney...
I leave tomorrow and I really don't want to. It's been amazing and I've realised that I'm not over Sydney at all. I'm already feeling sad and I still have one full day left.
I've met some great new people here and others I've known/met before. Each and every one of them has made my trip that little bit more special - some read my blog now and again too... thank you!

I'm off for breakfast now with a heavy heart.
