All the complicated boys know that the girls are so complicated

 


It's my first day of work holidays! Woohoo! There's so much I'm looking forward to... days out with mum, catching up with some friends, visiting my grandparents, finally using my pottery lesson voucher that my sister bought for me pre-Covid and spending as much time as I can with my boyfriend.


The last few weeks at work have been spent doing assessments and writing reports as well as two weeks of online learning, so I'm very grateful to have some time to relax and get ready for term 3. Melbourne's restrictions have eased considerably since lock-down 4.0 but people in their 20s don't yet have access to any Covid-19 vaccines. Have you got your vaccine yet? Some of the teachers at my work have had their vaccine and it's always interesting to hear their experiences. 

 

 

In other news, I have been living in turtlenecks and cord pants/skirts, as I do every winter. They're warm and suit me and I just can't bear to wear anything else because it's freezing most mornings. It's hard to look cute in the cold, I tell ya! Plus I love my little beaded bag so much that I bought its twin it at a secondhand market.

Hope you're all well and I hope to post more now that I'm on holidays.

Let the fun begin! X

    Yay to the holidays Jesse! You are absolutely rocking the mono colour, turtleneck look. The beaded bag is just perfect. Gorgeous photos.

    I wonder what vaccine you are all being offered in Australia? Being just 40 (trying to make myself feel younger here), I had the Oxford- Astra Zenica vaccine. Under 40s are being offered Pfizer. I felt ropey for a few days, but my folks (in their 70s) didn't notice a thing. Monsieur had the Pfizer one and his face temporarily drooped on one side (very rare side effect!). Apart from me not being able to look at him eating at tea time, he was fine.

    Hope you have a wonderful break. Lulu x

      Thank you dear Lulu. You are so sweet.

      The same 2 vaccines are being offered here, though we need more Pfizer.

      Oh that's interesting to hear that you were alright with your vaccine. You partner though! What a worrying side effect! X

    You certainly deserve your holidays after the term you've had! Loving your monochrome trousers and turtleneck combo. Both Jos and I had the Pfizer vaccine. Jos is fully vaccinated now and didn't have any side effects whatsoever. I had my first jab three weeks ago - two to go till the second - and only suffered a slightly painful arm on day 1. Enjoy your break, Jess! xxx

    I love your cranberry turtleneck and matching cords, Jess, although they make me sweat just looking at them (we're experiencing a massive heatwave in my part of Canada right now). I love that you bought another beaded bag. Enjoy your holiday!!

    I have had my first jab (back in May) and I should be getting notice for my 2nd any day now - I'll likely be able to book it some time in late July. Woo hoo! I'm glad your numbers are low!

      Cranberry! I should start using that word to describe this turtleneck!

      Yay you've probably had your second dose by now, Shiela! X

    Have a wonderful work break! That's a fabulous outfit proving you can look cute in cold weather clothing!
    Jon and I have been double jabbed for over a month now, we had the Astra-Zeneca and other than Jon having a heavy arm for a couple of days there were no problems to report. Anyone from 18 years of age can get jabbed in the UK now, you don't even need to book. We've heard about the spike in cases in Sydney, take care! xxx

      I know Vix, it's hard work trying to look cute in cold weather clothing!

      Oh that's good to hear! How great that you and Jon have had both vaccinations. X

  A little while ago, my mum, sister and I had lunch at one of our favourite places in the city, Conservatory. It's an all you can eat restaurant with a wide variety of food. Mostly I dream of the seafood and I was SO excited to go. I love the lighted ceiling and marble staircase that greets you on the way in. I wore my new-to-me cream midi dress with cute puffy sleeves that I recently bought at a market for $7. I wasn't sure if the colour would suit me, but I like how it looks with the coral necklace. Ready to eat! The oysters were so delicious and my absolute favourite! My mum took a sneaky photo of my sister and I chatting.  See you next time, Conservatory! Although we always leave feeling so full and we swear we'll never return again! To end this post, I'll share some more recent photos... My sister and I enjoyed having a sister night, watching the Barbie movie and eating burgers at Grill'd. Yum - my favourite! I had to wear pink of course! Have you seen the mov

Beach baby, beach baby, give me your hand

A day by the beach, what could be better? One sunny day on my work holidays, my mum and I visited Geelong beach. First we popped into the Vintage Mills Market. Looks at these vintage treasures... Next we strolled by the beach.  Passing the  carousal , we couldn't resist having some childlike fun. The Carousel's website says: " The Armitage-Herschell portable steam driven, hand-carved wooden carousel was constructed circa 1892 and is one of only 200 in operation around the world.   Featuring 36 Dare horses and 2 chariots, it was purchased by the Steampacket Place Development Board in 1996 and painstakingly restored." The view from the carosaul centre is beautiful. For lunch, we ate at a lovely restaurant by the beach called Fisherman's Pier. We love returning to enjoy the seafood linguini - delicious!  The four beach ladies waved us goodbye as we made our way back to our car. Goodbye beach, it was nice seeing you!

I go leaps and bounds

A few weeks ago, my mum, dad and I spent the day in Geelong, catching up with some family and friends. Julie, Andy and their children were down from Queensland for the weekend to watch their son Joel play football, so it was a perfect chance to catch up.  It was nice watching the game, chatting and laughing non-stop. This bunch are always cracking jokes and I delighted in our giggles. Being outside all day, I rugged up in my new fluffy coat, my Christmas present from mum this year. I squeezed in a sneaky wear of it before I wrapped it up in Christmas paper.  My mum has a maroon Afghan coat and a tan one, which I sometimes borrow. You may recall them from my blog posts here and here . Now I have one of my own, thank you mum! I practically pounced on it, when I saw it on sale. I've been secondhand shopping for so long, I forgot that retail stores have end of season sales! The coat kept me toasty all day, even into the night as we headed to a pub hotel for a final gathering and chat.
