My sister came to visit me. We walked up Baldwin street, which is the steepest street in the southern hemisphere.
I’d like to say we made it to the top. But that would be a lie.
We got two thirds of the way up and decided that was good enough.

I got a job as a security guard at the local stadium. Tomorrow is my first shift. It’s a rugby game. I’m probably going to die.
We went fishing and caught NOTHING, aside from a bean holding mini lobster.
This is a video about all the beautiful carpet in my new house.
Sunday.
I had a weird day on Sunday. I woke up with a homeless man in my bed. I crashed my friend’s rental car. Twice. And then in the evening I went to a party where people were dirty dancing to Florence and the Machine.
Tomato soup=cold tomato juice.
Watch me!

I tried to Edie Sedgwick my sister…Much harder than I anticipated it would be.
I had a whole load of jewelry that I never wore because it was either too heavy or just not my cup of tea so I decided to recycle it!
I wish I’d taken proper before and after photos but essentially I just used a pair of pliers and went to town with them.
The necklace is made from an earring that was way too heavy and a necklace that was way too short.
The blue earrings are made from an old bracelet I actually really liked but never really wore. Plus, the elastic holding it together had lost its stretch.
The coin earrings are made from a bracelet I’d had for at least a decade now, which I don’t think I’d ever worn. ever.
The first bracelet is made from the chain of the-coin-bracelet-I-never-wore and an assortment of jewels I found on earrings and necklaces.
The second bracelet is made with another one of the chains from the-coin-bracelet-I-never-wore (it had two chains) and square bits from a dangly earring which had lost it’s twin.
So yes…I’m quite excited about my new jewelry collection!
Friendly strangers
I was on my way to the post office, struggling away with a MASSIVE box of stuff that I was off to send to my new address, when this man just took GRABBED it off me and asked where I was heading.
So I said - ‘to the post office’ - and he just made his dandy old way there, put the box down, said ‘have a nice day’ and walked away.
Blunt, but much appreciated.
I’m moving out in two weeks!!!
So exciting…I’ve already packed my bags…that’s how eager I am :).
I have ALWAYS wanted to do this.
My life is complete.
