Busy Bee

For the last week or so, I've been following what seems to be my new routine and it's been keeping me busy. Here are a few highlights from the past week or so.

1) I get around.....on a bike!!! It's a folding one just like I wanted so that I can lift it more easily when I get back home to our 3rd floor apartment (no elevators). With the super low bar, I can also wear dresses and skirts with it, which means I use it at night when meeting up with friends for drinks. I need a name for it so if you have any suggestions, send them my way.

Will work for cake

I've told a few people about my new job, but left it a little vague because I wanted to make sure I liked it and that my boss would like me. I think it's time to let you all know where I work.

I've manage to stay away from the cube (my resolution for 2010 - spending a year away from office work), and did a complete change of career by becoming a baker. Have a look at my new "office":

I like my sushi raw

Last night, Rowan and I went for a late sushi dinner not too far from our house at a place called Sushi Suma. I've been told about this place so many times (and confused it for another one called Jazzushi where they sometimes have jazz bands playing while you eat) but we had yet to go because the mission was to go with Rowan's friend Dave.

Four years later

I first set foot downunder just a little under 4 years ago. Since then, some things have changed, but a lot has also stayed the same which has been quite a relief because basic things, like finding the closest grocery store, are much easier this time around.

The one things that is probably the most different, is the place where I live. It is not the student residence I used to live in, and I like so much more. Here are a few pictures of my new home.

If you come visit, remember our door number (and buzzer number), is 6. When people come into our building, they get confused, because our buzzer is the fourth one, and you go buy apartment 4, and then 2 before getting to ours. Apartment 5 is after ours.
