Bowling with Ryan + Cat

 

After hearing that both Cat and Ryan had a tough week, I thought it'd be nice to spend some time with them and shout them out to an afternoon of bowling at the local bowling alley to brighten their spirits.

It was a fun and memorable time together.

Afterwards Ryan wanted to share his school with us and so we went for a look around and play.

I captured this awesome shot of Ryan and his Dad, my partner.. David.

A moment to be treasured forever.

Sky High 🏙️

 Last Wednesday I took Aunty Margie, Aunty Sue and Aunty Lorraine 88 stories high to the Eureka Skydeck!

We enjoyed a drink of choice at the top while looking over the city and all the wat out to the bay.

Afterwards we ate our lunch by the river.

For all the Aunts it was their first time! 

I bought a few postcards home with me to send on my postcrossing account! 

It was a great day out.

First Storm Game of 2025

 I cannot explain how excited I am that the NRL is back!

The first game was yesterday against the Parramatta Eels and we were front row!

The atmosphere of the game was electric and we went on to beat them easily. 

Here are some photos of the night we had also with Adam and David’s best mate Long..

After the game, we stuck around for a while and congratulated a few of the players on a great win before heading down the river to Moomba!

Moomba is an Annual Melbourne Festival that gathers on the banks of the Melbourne City’s Yarra River. 

It has a bit of everything for everyone including carnival rides, carnival games, food trucks, street performers, fireworks and loads more.

The word Moomba is an Aboriginal word meaning “let’s get together and have fun”

And so we did!

Can’t Summer Stay?

 So Summer came to an end a few days ago and this makes my heart break a little.

I had a really tough end to February. I was missing my Dad a whole lot after selling the car we once shared, a lot was going on with work and I felt like I was being pulled into community drama with people I don’t know, and people who don’t even know me. Sonzie was sick, my co worker went on unexpected leave, my ex is living on the streets and relies heavily on me for support, my daughter was refusing school and I was just overwhelmed with responsibility. 

My cup was all the way empty and on top of everything else my mother in law had me feeling so suffocated bringing me in to judge and speak about someone I actually like and admire as a person.

I lost it. I lost it with David, I lost it with David’s Mum and I just had enough. 

In tears, overwhelmed, exhausted but knowing it wasn’t fair to be taking all my shit out on David, I jumped in the car and drove us to the fish n chip shop we went to on our first date and to the beautiful ocean side where our love story first started. 

We enjoyed our dinner and I opened all the way up to David and apologised for how I had been lately especially towards him. I then took the advice of one of my very respected friends and took a refreshing swim in the ocean to cleanse all the bad juju I feel I had on me. 

I feel like a spent the last few weeks of Summer in a funk. My Favorite month and now it’s gone.. 

Can’t Summer Stay?

Feeling ready for a big week ahead and a month of new goals only doing what I can do as the human I am.

Please pray for a better month for me.
