you text the person, "just arrived. sitting inside"

20 mins later.

on your own.

then leave.

well, that happened to me today.

first time for everything. character building.

i understand that at 31 yrs of age, in Bondi, I wasn't really interviewing for friends. I had enough. More than enough. But now I've got my fingers crossed that there are some fun, educated, moral humans out here in the desert. That are interviewing for a 31 yr old fun, educated, moral Aussie chicola....

Valley of the Sun

So. I've moved to the Desert. And I climbed a massive mountain in the desert this weekend. It was like running the City to Surf. But Heartbreak Hill looked like a walk in the park compared to the steep rocky mountain I had to pull myself up (with a steel pole to assist built into the ascent of the mountain!) Four Fire Brigade trucks arrived as we'd finished the climb to come rescue people.

All I can say is lucky I was at the bottom, finished, by that stage. It was HARD.

The big mountain at the back of the above pic is it. Shezus. One big camel's back it is. My aim is to climb him every Saturday. I burnt 1500 calories in one hour. (Considering you burn an average of 200 in a one hour walk, that A LOT. Don't you think?)

And every where I look I can see a cactus taller than me.

Reinvention

The beauty of being in a new country with new job, new home, new car, new friends.. i could go on, is choice. Choice as a 31 yr old woman of what I want in my life.

Here's to new beginnings and sunshine.
