So, yes, arguably it's a little overdue, however I read somewhere - and accepted entirely - that New Years resolutions in January are evil, destined to fail ultimatums ending with your whole mind, body and soul screaming, 'WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME MAN?!'.<br />
<br />
'Ha, whatevs babe, that's as dumb as waiting 'til December to start decorating for Christmas...' I hear you say - not judging on that last bit, I totally understand those starting in August with the festive cheer thing... Steady there now, 'dumb'?! I think you mean, 'sheer genius' right?! Now hundreds of thousands would argue January 1st is the best time for getting that brand spanking new you feeling, but I imagine there is an equal number, who despite their (our) best efforts, making the mental list, saying 'you can do this!' then come the first day of the fresh start set one foot out of bed and quickly change their mind. Mmm, maybe for those not convinced, I'll explain the 'hows' and 'huh?' about <b>my</b> new converted way of thinking.<br />
<br />
Taking into consideration the current thang that is '<a href="http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/stress-anxiety-depression/Pages/mindfulness.aspx#what" target="_blank">mindfulness</a>', my interpretation for this being that if you're not in the right mindset, you ain't going to be achieving those <a href="https://www.headspace.com/blog/2016/01/01/5-ways-to-fail-at-your-new-years-resolutions-2/" target="_blank">goals</a>. 'Being in the right mindset' is easier said than done, it takes practise - the most feared word of youth and beyond - and I'm no expert or devout follower, however I think the basic principal should be established from the beginning through to the end of our short time on earth.<br />
<br />
So with 'the right mindset' in mind... why would you wish to place sudden rules and restrictions you've thought up while munching down the last remaining turkey sandwich, hastily before the New Years imminent arrival on your post-festive, over-indulged, partied-out body? It's abuse, don't do it. Instead, wait, prepare and build up your mental strength and stability so come February 1st your body has fully recovered, you're revved up and can't wait to get going and hit the ground running. (And most important of all, January is over!) That last one's just my own mini celebration, refer to <a href="http://gkeys.blogspot.com.au/2016/01/january-hues.html" target="_blank">this</a> post if you're curious.<br />
<br />
'Yeah that's all well and good babe but can you walk the talk?' Yes! As I type my legs are so sore they are barely capable of supporting me to sit let alone walk! '...*insert eye popping emoji*...'<br />
<br />
So here are my somewhat ridiculous but longterm goals in the hope that next year it'll just be, I don't know, save money to buy a husky dog. **life goal right there**<br />

I did have a teeny tiny experiment prior to the real thing - it's amazing what you can do with an old picture frame serving no particular purpose and a handsaw. The challenge? Teach myself to weave in a matter of weeks - and just for good measure, make the loom on which to do it to boot - in order to create a large-ish wall hanging for my friend.<br />

I thoroughly enjoyed the whole process - albeit by complete trial and error - sometimes having to take a row or two back, sometimes more or even starting again. Making the loom wasn't very hard and after scrolling around various weaving blog posts, I was confident enough to set out with my needle and yarn. The bigger the better in my eyes, especially when it comes to something I'm unfamiliar with!<br />

The design itself was the main hurdle, I scribbled many different ideas down before settling on 'the one', then set to drawing it to scale - a very long drawn out process... Initially, I thought that from the first row to casting off it would take a day, maximum two. One and a half weeks later, I finally got to the last row and indeed, was quite overcome with glee when I knotted the last couple of warp lengths and packaged the precious item ready to fly to Australia and be delivered to my friend.<br />

I recently read a short <a href="http://nymag.com/scienceofus/2016/01/neuroscientist-really-wants-you-to-make-lists.html#" target="_blank">article</a> about 'list makers'. One comment that stuck was to 'prioritise the worst task first' - genius and finishing up feeling good too! So, inspired by this, I shall start by saying how much I dislike January in England, it's grey, it's cold, it's soggy, it's drab. But I'd hate to come across as a git, so I'll omit any further reasons as to the why for my dislike - as I'm sure I'm not alone on this one. *insert angel emoji* That said, in a parallel universe (the Southern Hemisphere) right now it's damned hot, sunny and non stop fun... in January?! It's not January's fault, he didn't choose for it to be this way, I'm sure.<br />
<br />
As a result of this rather dull month, until hibernating is deemed acceptable by the human race, cooped up indoors against the biting cold is how it is. With it, come certain habits that go hand in hand with 'not having much else to do' syndrome. In a bid to stop myself from consuming anymore cheese on toast, call it a test of will, I end up replacing one habit with another and find myself scrolling around and awe-struck by all things colour, clearly attracted to one particular palate that now adorns a <a href="https://uk.pinterest.com/goldkeys/colour/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> wall of mine.<br />
<br />
On the odd occasion when the sun's out and the sky's blue, that wonderful Winter light happens, which makes a short day seem marginally longer and more importantly, it makes you want to go outside! I'm a sucker for it in truth, it is of course the combination of pastel pinks, baby blues and golden tones as the sun fades on the glass like sea or filter edit of the recent-ish adaptation of Pride and Prejudice - I defy anyone to say Mr Darcy crossing the field in that dawn light isn't brilliant. It seems I just can't help myself, I'm falling for all things pink.<br />
<br />
In a bid then to turn it around this January and dwell on the positive, (she types wearing an oversized grey knit, black turtle neck and jeans) surround myself with colour on those overcast, soul destroying days, embrace my love of neon orange and mid-wash blue denim, wear those recently purchased dusty pink joggers with a turquoise knit and become my very own walking sunset and say no to boring in 2016!<br />

I didn't come home once in the three years I spent in Australia. This was partly down to thinking 'it's ok I'll be heading home in June/ when my visa is up/ for my Gran's birthday...' There's nothing to gain in mentioning why I did eventually come home, but luckily it did mean I made it to my nan's birthday.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">

<div style="text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
Australia was and is a wonderful place, I remember a friend recouting her trip before I went, and seemed dumbstruck when saying '...the light there is different, everything shimmers.' and I believe we lost her for 5 minutes while she transported herself back there. It's always stuck as it is just so true. I can't say for definite that that's it for me and Australia, we had a good run and have parted as friends and who knows, maybe I'll be back there for a long spell once again. However, one thing I did miss on this side of the world is the option to jump on a cheap flight to Europe for *insert length of stay* and in particular to my favourite place, Norway.</div>

This trip was even more exciting as, not only did it involve catching up with the family, but after months/years of my friends and total strangers listening to my near hysterical '...guys, GUYS! Look! LOOK! I'm going to go up there!...' I actually did it and hiked up to <a href="http://www.visitnorway.com/listings/preikestolen-(the-pulpit-rock)/1845/" target="_blank">Preikestolen</a> - Pulpit Rock - and I can't fricking wait to get up there again.</div>

I'm back home, re-adjusted to a slightly cooler (freezing) climate and re-adjusted to a slight change in lifestyle. These are somewhat positive changes (not the climate one) as it is good to reassess from time to time and I have done just that.<br />
<br />
I started this blog initially for family and friends to see what I was up to on the other side of the world (that and to record my short stint in WWOOF-ing farm-life) and seems a shame to leave it at that.<br />
<br />
While trying to avoid this turning into an online 'Dear diary', rather more a personal resource when in the (distant) years to come, my aged laptop has passed on into the ether, lost my hard drive and forgotten which drawer I stashed my numerous memory sticks in, I can - if I am anything like my grandmother aka 'tech-wizard' - at least 'Google it' as it were. That is motivation enough for me.goldkeyshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18037751625664031498noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3189255942424464506.post-28910101747395554592013-08-26T18:39:00.000+10:002013-08-26T18:42:13.067+10:00Radio SilenceSorry for it being a tad quiet over here, I find myself without Internet - except now obviously, ahem. There's exactly twelve days left for me here in Strathmerton... I'll have a few pics to upload soon, you never know, maybe even a tale to go with them, if you're lucky! In the mean time, can you see the 'Roo in this pic? <br />

I'm jumping all over the shop, spontaneity, keepin' ya on ya toes! ...New Year! I went to Perth for a few days to stay with my also super awesome friends Jemima and Vikki, I really, really like Perth - it was hot. On the Eve itself the temperature stayed around 40°C into the early hours, it totally justified our asking the taxi man to take us home via the drive through at Macca's to get frozen Coke. </div>

more time to spare in the evenings and a wish to share snippets from the recent happenings of my short stint in Australia so far - time is flying!<br />
<br />
I'm lucky enough to have an eight acre cactus garden at my
disposal on site, so after a sunny Aussie Winter's day, I took some pics in the hothouse featuring
South African succulents. <br />

<br />
After a delicious lunch and a brief walk around the shops, we drove over to the 'Most Easterly Point of the Australian Mainland' - I've had to seriously edit down the photos I took there, heaps were of the views, blue, blue, blue sea and sky, it was just incredible.<br />

Ready for the next installment of super amazing sunny photographs?! Yeh, I know it's 'Summer' in the UK where I'd normally don a knit and hot brew and 'Winter' here in Australia where just this time last week I had a nice golden glow, (after the sunburn bit) this upside down thing is really confusing at times.<br />
<br />
Anyway, back to the Gold Coast, well, to the Sunshine Coast, we drove up to Mooloolaba as part of our week of awesome adventures and stayed at a lush hotel/holiday accommodation where the pool was literally on our veranda gatestep and the sea just over the road, then onto the Australia Zoo! I got to feed a Kangaroo, an Elephant, hold the tail-end of an Aligator and pet the backside of a Koala, great!<br />

Kate had planned a week of awesome adventures - I fed Kangaroos at the Australia Zoo, need I say more? After meeting me from the airport, we stopped and took a little stroll along the beach to an incredible view of Goldcoast City, then we enjoyed the rest of the afternoon with her lovely family, heading to Brisbane the next day.<br />
<br />
I don't like to sound like a broken record in these little ditties o'mine, but the only word that pops to mind in order to describe my short trip is, awesome. Here are a few from when I arrived and some from around Brissie. <br />

The highlights of my trip were going to see a free film featuring a young Marlon Brando (babe) at the Art Gallery of NSW, being up close and personal at the Opera House and taking a dip in the open-air, saltwater <i>Andrew 'Boy' Charlton</i> pool just next to the Royal Botanic gardens. <br />

I popped up to visit my cousin for a short spell in February. It was an early start followed by a slightly tense wait at the Melbourne domestic airport departure gate, where the notification board alerted us that the plane scheduled to fly myself and the other sleepy passengers up and across, was boarding... yet there was no plane. The airline (that shall remain nameless, as I can't come up with a witty name for it) and I have met on several occasions now, it's one of those things where neither parties particularly likes the other or wishes to be with them for longer than a short distance flight, when both sides meet it's with a cold <i>'...you again?' 'yup...'</i> and are essentially using each other just to get somewhere, me to a destination, them to my bank balance.<br />
<br />
But enough about the cold, uncomfortable, garish flight provider and their planes, it turned up eventually and I was off to Sydney! Shiny, big and oh so bright-orange tanned skin, with maaany, many people to fill all the nooks and crannies, I came over all tourist and went straight up to see the harbour bridge and opera house.<br />

WellingtonLife has taught me that if you wanna go up, you'll probably have to go down (and vice versa.) In this case, after a free bus ride up, I decided it was a great idea to <b>walk</b> via the not so instantly obvious way down - there was a map, but choosing one of the many colourful squiggly lines leading off in multiple directions is tricky when you're not entirely sure where <b>'YOU ARE HERE'</b> is or which side of the mountain you need to get to in order to catch the local bus back...<br />
<br />
I assume I expected to have one of those life altering experiences, you know the one, all alone except for your thoughts and nature to keep you company, when suddenly you're hit by a moment of clarity that changes your perspective on reality forever... Sadly it didn't go that way. Based on the 'up, down' principle, meandering my way along slippery rock paths leading downward, all I got hit with was good old panic, plunging further into what I imagined at the time was not dissimilar to a witch's cauldron as the cloud and mist rose around me, wondering whether I'd ever see civilisation again or if nature would have its way and I'd end up living out my days as a bush woman, surviving solely on small grubs, mud and tree bark... until I saw a real life person walking towards me, sanity and calm snapped back into action and I realised I was going the right way. (Quite possibly I helped the young man reach the top faster in a bid to gain distance, lest he be caught by the crazed bush woman of Mt. Wellington...) I recorded the trip just in case the above played out. <br />

I'd been told by many, having said I was heading to Tasmania, to check out <a href="http://www.mona.net.au/" target="_blank">Mona</a> - Museum of Old and New Art. It's hard to describe the initial experience - I had no idea what I was walking myself into. Giant Mickey Mouse hands scattered all over the shop, a path leading to a large mirrored box with security manning the entrance, wooden teepees... you start to question reality.<br />
<br />
So, after a friendly nod from said security encouraging me onward through the glass doors, directed by museum staff to the ticket desk and supplied with an iPod touch as my tour guide, I was ready for what lay under the two flights of spiral staircase and further below ground level, not to resurface for sunlight until a good couple of hours later - my brain was saturated and a tad confused by the work on show. It is a long time to be underground, but if you do anything in Tasmania, Mona is a must.<br />

There's a rather impressive thunder and lightening show taking place outside so I may be slightly distracted here, the downpour - or 'dam bursting from the sky' to do it justice - was a brilliant supporting act.<br />
<br />
It seems in keeping to show more of Tasmania, I spent many a rainy day caught out by the clouds that 'appeared' from behind Mt. Wellington, clearly natures game of 'hide and seek', I never quite made it to shelter... but on the odd occasion it held off long enough for me to snap away! <br />

Yes, 2 weeks in all... So, Tasmania, a tiny island south of Australia, 'stunning' is one word I'd use, 'freezing' another. This whole '3 month regional work' was the reason, I won't go into that one as it would be rather pointless, 'what's done is done' and that.<br />
<br />
None the less despite it not working out to my advantage and returning to Victoria, I did pick up a $10 fur coat at the cost of nothing living but nylon stockings! I also discovered a little cafe that did the best coffee in town and most delicious fruit loaf, ever. I find myself craving the stuff, it was so insanely tasty that if it were possible to live off that fruit loaf alone I'd be so, incredibly happy... Fruit loaf, simple things 'eh! I didn't get a picture of the golden, spicy-sweet, baked euphoria as, well I won't mess around with a camera when there is food in front of me, despite going back twice in one day...<br />

Or more, the pictures are, I myself can't admit to being too clued up on the topic as, a) I'm a British kid - Aussie history doesn't really play an essential part in 'Key Stage 3' learning (soz guys) despite it being, I imagine, more beneficial than, <i>Q:</i> <i>'What type of weapon was used to fight the Normans?' A: '...something sharp and made of wood?'</i> or, b)...well, I don't have a 'b' but if I did it would make or break this argument I appear to be having with myself as to why I lack the historical know about a small town in Australia.<br />
<br />
Back in February, I set out to find my fortune and
arrived a few hours later at Sovereign Hill in Ballarat, a heavy-weight in the 'Gold Rush'
fever that started in 1851, so much so an open-air museum was built in the 1970s
to preserve the gold mining heritage. Sadly, despite my hardest
efforts, I think I missed the ship on this occasion, I'd say by a good
150 years. (I clearly paid more attention in maths, that number was off the top of my head.) <br />

According to my reliable source, (Facebook) oddly coinciding with the sudden warm front to hit the shores of the sunny UK! ...'sunny' and 'UK' in the same sentence, the cold must be getting to me. <br />
<br />
Moving on, said chilly spell means I waste a lot more energy attempting to stay right where I am, essentially trying to stop time with my mind, moving as little as possible to turn the heater on from the confines of my cosy nest without letting any warmth escape, failing and ending up grumpy. Aussie Winter mornings and I appear to make a bad match. Having said that, once I'm over the initial diva fit and have ventured outside - by this stage it makes no difference whether I'm inside or out, the temperature is the same - I forget all about my fight against reality and am struck at how beautiful everything looks when you can hardly see a thing... I'll show you what I mean.<br />

Oh, wait... <br />
<br />
It is a beautiful (and probably my favourite) part of the city - I had a short stint there before heading on down to Tasmania. A mere stones throw from Smith Street and Brunswick Street - I could dedicate an entire blog to these two guys - then there's Johnston Street, oh, basically it's just a gem of a place if you're a caffeine fiend (such as I) or foodie and should you want to lessen the gluttonous guilt (or more to make room for further eating) there's an open air pool a brisk 10 minute walk away for those +30°C days! Sorry to rub that one in Blighty, ahem.<br />

Everything about it, how many cities are there that you can brag about like that? (probably heaps, but for me, just one.) I had a fun stint in London, but never felt it was a long-term thing.<br />
<br />
Words won't really do the love of my life justice, but pretty pictures will! There's plenty to go around and have cut it up into bite size snippets - what can I say, I'm nice like that... - to build up your fascination with the place rather than blow your mind
all in one go - I can live with the guilt, I just don't fancy cleaning
up the mess. <br />

A good staple item can be worn multiple ways by multiple people, some well, some not, but in a way that suits their personality or 'style'. At least I like to think so.<br />
<br />
I'm pretty sure I've worked my way through most fashion stages growing up - bar chav, goth and emo. I jumped straight on the rebellious path, aka (hideous) grey hoodie, enormous flared black trousers worn to the point of no return - they split at the rear on the bus home from school... *sigh* - and my backpack embellished with studs, spikes and band patches and so my personal 'style' evolved over the years - I never look back at these days with much regret, more with a shudder.<br />
<br />
My current situation doesn't allow for much 'style' in the day - borrowed Wellies, $7 'mum' jeans and a $15 ugly jumper - and by nightfall, the warmer the better. So this post has come about mainly for myself, to remind me that beyond the mud, there is silk, pattern and colour and by jove when I get back to the city I shall have a blow out.<br />

Actually, I think I was a morning person up until a few years ago, where, whether due to bitterness as I get older or the realisation that, unless I have to, can sleep a little longer and work a little later, so I set out this year with the intention of training myself to be up with the birds and out before rush hour. I can count on one hand how many times I've succeeded with that...<br />
<br />
However, I managed to fight the <i>'...What are you doing? It's warm and cosy here, there's no need to get up yet, just stay right where you are...' </i>(that's my bed talking there...) yesterday morning, grabbed my camera and managed to shoot these guys before the haze went west. I guess mornings have their benefits, aside from breakfast. I'll give you that. <br />
