Weekly Rambles #044: 05/06/09

So this is what winter feels like. The sun is shining, the breeze is ever present, coffee is the only thing to get me out of bed. Life is pretty amazing. I've been enjoying the beginning of winter so much that I've neglected my blog. I'm on holidays, as of last Friday, and yet I have had no time or paitence to prepare an article.

How have I spending the past week you may be wondering. Well, I started Friday off with a trip to Southbank and the CBD with one of my friends. We got coffee from a little cafe in Southbank and walked across the bridge to the Queen st Mall for a spot of shopping. There I purchased two pairs of knit stockings from Forever New which I have already embraced with coats and dresses. My Friday night consisted of dinner at Sizzlers with some friends from my old highschool and handing in a friend's university assignment.

As per usual I spent Saturday and Sunday selling people furniture and homewares. Quite exciting, dont you believe?

How did I welcome in the winter?

Monday morning was spent with my head glued to my television set, as I watched Season One of Gossip Girl for the third time in a month. What can I say? Chuck Bass gets my heart racing. That evening I headed back to Southbank for dinner and laughs with some friends from university. We ate at the hotspot AMICI'S and found an abandoned area to sit near the pools.

For the duration of Tuesday morning I had my nose in my book War Crimes & Terror. My dog has certainly been very pleased with my presence around the house this past week. I also paid a visit to my old highschool to borrow some of my old assignments off my old history teacher to photocopy for my file at home. I came across three old teachers who all asked me how I was going, one of which I don't recall ever having taught me.

Wednesday was brought in with breakfast at Tiffanys, no not quite. Starbucks coffee and hashbrowns anyone? This was followed by a walk around the shops, with myself dragging my friend to all the bookstores on Queen St and at our local Westfield. I didn't buy anything but have my eye on a couple. The evening was spent celebrating State of Origin and mourning our loss. I have bruises on my arms from when I fell over. ouch!

Yesterday was spent watching The Duchess and reading my new book A short History of the 20th Century. I went for a walk to my work and on the way, as I had time to kill, sat at a coffee shop with a tall caramel latte and read my book. Work was very quiet last night and consisted of me unpacking new stock and selling furniture to my own mother.

This morning as I look back over the past week I wonder what the week ahead has to offer. I already have a breakfast planned, my shifts from work and a morning tea with old friends. Today I'm going to indulge in visiting a coffee shop with my book again and quite possibly buy some more knitted stockings.

Much a ramble this post has been.
Alas, the week has been very much filled.

Until the next,
