Not A Second Time...

 

  

Hello! I'm back! The first week back at work flew by, so I imagine the next 9 weeks of term 3 will pass quickly too and then I'll be back on holidays again, as I recently was. On my holidays, my mum and I went to the Conservatory in the city, near Crown. It's an all-you-can-eat fancy buffet with seafood and yummy food galore.

  


 

I really enjoyed the oysters, prawns, smoked salmon and pickled ginger. Look at all the delicious food we ate. I wasn't that fond of the desserts but everything else was amazing.


Mum and I walked around the Crown area, the grand marble staircase, the water fountain. I admired the changing coloured lights on the ceiling, the large horse painting (of course I had to take a photo in front of it!), the posh bathroom and the fluro coloured casinos. I imagined Las Vegas looks exactly like this.


 


After lunch, mum and I decided to go for a walk by the river to digest all the food we'd eaten. Once we got our vitamin D fix, we called it a day and returned home.


 
 

And then not long after, I found out I had COVID for the second time this year - can you believe it? So I had to spend my last week of holidays isolating. Luckily I wasn't as sick as I was the first time I got COVID, my boyfriend was a lot more sick than I was. Thankfuly we are both back to normal now.

 

See you in my next blog post.

    Oh no Jess, hope you're feeling better. Covid is doing the rounds again here too. Kids break up for summer hols in one week and we have a heatwave in the UK (I still have to work though :0 ) The food all looks absolutely scrumptious :) x

    Oh my doesn't that food look absolutely delicious!
    I'm sorry to hear you got Covid a second time, though, but it's a good thing you weren't too sick this time. Our cases are increasing too, will it ever end I wonder? xxx

    Oh no, that totally sucks that you got Covid again, Jess! Good thing you and your mum had such a lovely day together - at least something to remember when you were isolating. I've been lucky - have not had it yet!

 Where do you buy your clothing from? Opshops? Online shops? Retail stores? For a while, I hadn't been buying much clothing as my wardrobe is absolutely full! From time to time, I sell pieces from my wardrobe on eBay to slowly thin out my collection. Although recently I fell into an eBay rabbit hole and have purchased quite a few nice dresses.  I bought this  Tree Of Life  dress on eBay after admiring the exact same one my mum has. I tried on her dress, so knew which size to buy. It popped up immediately when I looked it up online, and for less than $30 including postage, it was mine ! Leopard is always fabulous, I think. I enjoyed wearing it for a get-together with family friends at my uncle Arthur's house a little while ago. This cotton, brown and cream kaftan was also from Tree of Life. I wore it recently when going to see Simple Minds play at the Red Hot Summer Tour. And boy was it hot, at 35 °C     we were so sweaty, people were fainting around us. Luckily we sat under a t

After 11 weeks of term 2, preparing reports and completing parent-teacher interviews, I farewelled my grade 2 students, and began my two weeks of holidays. I was looking forward to spending time with my family, grandparents and boyfriend, as well as squeezing in some day trips. My mum and I returned to our favourite place, Daylesford. It was a cold, winter's day so we rugged up in big coats which kept us surprisingly toasty. I wore my tartan coat that I recently bought at a market. I had been looking for a big, long coat for some time as well as watching Gilmore Girls and admiring all of the beautiful coats worn on the show. So when I found this brand new coat, I was happy to hand over my $25. At Daylesford, we first roamed the Vintage Mills Market. It's always fun to have a look at the unique items. I found a vintage, leopard coat. It was a bit pricey, so I thought about it for some time and then decided to buy it as it was a dream item that I have been searching for, for prob

  Last Thursday night, my mum, sister and I went to see Wicked: The Musical in the city!  We quickly dressed and rushed there after work and made it just in the nick of time before the 7pm start. We marvelled at the ceiling and Romeo and Juliet style balcony. I even spotted a handful of Australian TV personalities, walking through a roped off area, which is something I've never seen here in Melbourne. Usually, we all just walk through the same entrance!  I absolutely love  The Wizard of Oz  as you may have noticed  here  and  here  and quite enjoyed Wicked The Musical, with its perspective of two witches Elphaba and Glinda from the Land of Oz. The set was wonderful, with references to the Land of Oz such as the Emerald City, cornfield and a field of poppies. It was lovely to see so many beautifully dressed audience members, with many of them wearing the colour emerald. I loved the enchanting costumes and the singing was absolutely amazing. Even though I wasn't familiar with th
