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!

  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.
