Jo's Asian Holiday

I thought I'd post some pictures of Jo's trip to Singapore and Hong Kong, they had an amazing time, bought so much stuff I can't believe but they managed to squeeze in so much in their 2 weeks.

Two weeks

These past two weeks have been a strange one for me, I've been completely out of my comfort zone not only with work but being home alone without Jo as she spent 2 weeks with her Mum in Singapore and Hong Kong.

I've been working heaps and trying to come to terms with the new challenges my role brings, while still doing my old role and trying to cope with the workload.

I've also lost my social planner and it's been very different for me to organise catching up with people! I started out well though as Claire and I went to see 'Another One Night Stand' at the Capitol Theatre - a comedy night hosted by Red Symons and starring Jimeoin, Judith Lucy, Corrine Grant etc

I've caught up with Claire twice since as we've started our "Management Meetings" as we both have the same crap going on a work and they are basically a work whinge session over dinner and wine! We've had two so far, both extremely successful! If this is the best that comes of my promotion then I'm happy as they have been such good fun.

I managed to catch up with Carl and Martinette too as I took a trip to Manly, it was such a beautiful clear winter day and we took a nice walk to Shelly beach and back. It was great to catch up with them both again. I picked up Lisa and Christian (and the twins) from the airport as they were back from their trip to Germany to see Christian's family and had dinner with them on Sunday.

I managed a night out at the pub with my team on Friday night and I also had a work offsite with my new management team which ended up quite messy in Surry Hills!

So, I've managed to keep myself busy but I'm now exhausted! I picked up Jo and Mrs B on Saturday morning at 6am and we had a very quiet Saturday after the shopping show and tell. Sunday morning we all went for brunch to Wah Wah in Waterloo, I met Chiara (a friend of Steven) for the first time and she joined us for brunch. It was great to meet Chiara finally as Steven has talked about her so much and we got on really well :)

I can't believe the weekend is nearly over again, I'm trying to brace myself for another week at work, wish me luck!

This week wasn't as bad at work, that was because I only worked 3 days and I was in bed sick on Thursday and Friday. This is preferable at the moment.

I started to get sick on Tuesday night and it got much worse on Wednesday. I tried to shake it off and even went out for dinner at planned with Carl and Martinette to Radio Cairo in Cremorne (bloody fantastic food, sort of north African, I had one of the best curries I've had in a long time) for Carl's birthday.

Thursday morning though was a different story. Stupid me left my laptop at work the night before so I went into work and picked up and came straight home to bed. That's were I've been pretty much since.

Yesterday afternoon, Jo's mum came down in the afternoon and kept me company. We were all up early this morning as they jetted off to Singapore and Hong Kong for a nice holiday. I just received a text from Jo saying they had arrived safe and sound and that it's really really hot!
