Here are a couple of shots from our Wellbeing Day at work on Friday (read: day in the park getting pissed). It was fun. We played lots of silly games, had a BBQ and some beers and the sun shone all day. Beats working for a living.
There was a 'guess the baby' competition. I entered the above shot of me on Scarborough beach... and everyone got it so easily... they were all like: "English beach... must be Kelly"... darn it..!
I have at the last minute arranged to go to Sydney this weekend... woop, woop! Just Fri til Sun, but looking forward to it.

Hello peeps!

How are we all??

No photos... I'm at work. Last client of the day has cancelled. So I am making efficient use of my time :)

Perth last weekend was good. Didn't do much. Just ate out, had drinks etc. But was fun.

My roomie has asked me to 'Compere' the 'Showcase' at the gym on Saturday. This is where they introduce the clients to all the new releases of the fitness programmes. It involves me getting up on the stage with a mike and introducing all the sections. Groan! I'm gonna suck. But I'm kind of locked into it now. Practicing my CBT on myself to help me get over the anxiety! I will let you know how I get on... I had a practice shot on the stage and with the mike this morning! Eek! Out of my comfort zone! But good exposure therapy!

We have our 'Wellbeing Day' at work tomorrow. Apparently, this involves sitting in the park drinking and playing games... sounds alright to me!

And Saturday night, I'm heading out with some friends for dinner and drinks in the city... was supposed to have a big cycle race the next morning. But have cancelled this in anticipation of potential hangover.

Nothing else much going on here... I listen to BBC Radio Two in the mornings (I use the playback version on the net) and I heard it is snowing in the North East of Scotland... Brr.. but at least a day off work..?!!

First week back

Here's a photo of me and some of the girls from the gym doing to the City to Bay fun run. This was a 12km run I did just before I came home. I think I did it in 58mins or something like that. I remember not being too pleased at the time. But it did qualify me to go into the 'Elite Runners' entry stage next year. Lol! Not that many real elite runners run this obviously!
I also wanted to comment on the photo of me on Dad's blog. The picture that was taken as I left at the airport. I was actually crying in that shot... so I don't know why I look like I am laughing..?!!
Hope everyone is doing well. I am adjusting to life back down under. Apart from my sleeping patterns are still off. I've been getting up at 3am each day this week. Groan! I'm so sleep deprived now that I am hoping I should crash out properly tonight. But the weather has been good to come back to. Mid 20's and sunny.
Next weekend I am off to Perth to visit a few friends. Looking forward to that.
And today I put in my online entry for the New York marathon (Nov 2011). It's so popular, that they do a kind of lottery system. So I don't know whether I will have got in or not. But I will keep you posted! Two friends have done the same. So we'll see if any, or all of us, are lucky this time round.
Ok... so I hope some of this makes sense.. my tired brain is having trouble making sentences!

So I am writing this because I wanted to communicate with Gary. He doesn't have skype, you know :)

......I saw Kick Ass a couple of weeks ago! I thought it was great too. Mum you definitely need to watch it. It has boys in capes in it :)

Sorry to have missed Lucy on skype this weekend :( but will definitely try and catch you this week.

My dress I have ordered for the wedding has been delayed. O dear. This may be a problem. It's been designed by Nicole Ritchie (Lionel's adopted daughter and American socialite). So if we can all just keep our fingers crossed that she stops doing whatever American socialites do and pulls her finger out and sends it to me, then it'll be alright :)

So I did the Microlighting yesterday. It was good. But not as daredevil as I expected. So next is hang gliding... and then... tandem skydive... eek!

Hope all is well... not long now til I'm home... wooppee!

Here is dress number 2... it's on pre-order, so I am hoping that it arrives in time for me to receive it before I fly home and that it fits/looks good. Fingers crossed.

The other picture is of people Microlighting. It looks like I'll be doing this a week on Saturday.
There is a place down south from here where you can do it. You fly across the coast line.

3 weeks til I come home! Yippee! I hear mum and dad are flying business class to Oz next year. Wowsers! That should be fun. I am travelling in the hold of the airplane when I come home... ;)

In case you have forgotten what I look like, here is a picture of me taken when I was doing the Barossa Half Marathon a few months back.
I took part in the City to Bay Fun Run last weekend (12km or 7.5miles). Finished in 58mins. So at least I got in under the hour, but would like to shave a couple of minutes off that next time. I've got some work to do! :)
Less than 4 weeks til I come home... yippee!

Did two things this weekend that I have never done before.....

On Friday night I went to watch a Muay Thai fight... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muay_Thai

and on Sunday I went out with a friend on the back of his motorcycle into the Adelaide Hills. We visited this microbrewery, which was really good. If mum and dad make it over, I visit there would be a good day out... http://www.ahcb.com.au/
