during my recent trip home however, i felt a change in my emotions. i was in town for 3 fantastic nights and caught up with so many great friends.
- i caught up with mel, jess & karl in new farm and was impressed by the new bars and restaurants (lady lamington anyone?)
- ate like kings and queens with my uni mates at peasant restaurant – catching up with those guys always feels like a warm hug
- finished the weekend off with a lazy lunch with steve, vicky, lou and aj at byblos portside watching the sun set over the brissie river while the dj blasted old school funky house tracks

some of the uni gang: michelle, cath, me & jen
as well as hanging in brissie, mum and i also spent three awesome nights at palm beach on the gold coast. our apartment had a stunning view of the coast and had the perfect swimming pool for lazing around. one afternoon we headed to surfers paradise and i was awed by the fantastic job they had done improving the esplanade that run along the beach – i particularly loved the retro pics – although, i don’t doubt it’s still trash-tastic come friday and saturday night.

on the way home, we drove through mt tamborine and stopped at the 'polish place' for lunch.
here's mum with the lorikeets in the restaurant's garden.

while returning to sydney is never a bad thing, something within me has shifted...
