Make My Way Back Home When I Learn To Fly

I could not find my Sept 11th photo! So much delays were had until I figured obviously I didn't take a great photo cause I can't remember it now... So here is a photo taken from my new camera that I got on the 23rd Sept. It's like time travel!

Bus stop - 11/09

As part of my 30 Days Has September thing I decided to try to complete some of my 'To Do' sewing projects. This was a size 6 hot pink raw silk box pleat knee length skirt. The skirt style is kind of at odds with the colour and material. I made a head band from the waist band and am making a skirt from the skirt... a shorter one though. 

 

 Wee bit to small - 12/09

Finally had a blood test for my incredibly sick state. Takes a week to get back apparently. He thinks I have the flu. Still no drugs for me though. 

  

Kinda of like giving blood... - 13/09

Part of my 30 Days thing was to do a Hip-Hop dance class. Went along with M and learnt a whole routine to Boom Shake Tha Room - Will Smith. It was at Sydney Dance Company. Had a great time!

Word! - 14/09

Tired from 'shakin tha ass'. This is a petrol station in Newtown. Nothing fantastic. Just two conflicting signs advertising the same thing at different prices, depends on what direction you come from I guess. 

Its a car wash - 15/09

Had my cards read at Marly Bar in Newtown with BB. I haven't had my cards read before so didn't really know what to expect. I had some good news and it was a great chance to catch up with BB.

My future - 16/09

Still really tired. Sleeping lots. My bruise is lookin kinda funky, kinda gross. Doing a lot of resting in prep for the run!

It looks worse in real life - 17/09

Cooks River near the airport. High UV. Much pollution in them there waters. Not my fav place in Sydney.

Mmmmm - 18/09

Race Day! I had stop training a few weeks ago. I think I did my last bit of training on the first of Set (judging on photos). Doctor told me to chill out, relax, take a load off etc. Woke up on race morn with a crackin headache. I did pretty well. My time was 1:01:38, I did the 9km Bridge Run. Paced myself by running and when I got tired I walked, when I got bored I ran. Until about the 6km mark where I cracked the shits and wanted something to eat and go home. Think I would do it again next year.

My super special medal - 19/09

Some days are just boring. I do washing. Originally I took colour photos until I realised I had a lot of black on the line and many many socks.

Hangin - 20/09

Fare welling Pinko at the airport. Met him to hang out whilst he lined up to check in and wait for his flight. Felt weird after I left that I won't be seeing him for at least a year. May of gotten a little teary after he left, or not. Whatever. A few beers were had while soaking in the serenity of the bar.

The slightly disappointing observation deck - 21/09

Quite a quick goodbye at the departure gate thing where he goes and stands on the other side for another hour. Many people crying and upset. I wanted a pic of just me but forgot to ask Pinko and didn't want to ask a stranger and then walk away from the gate.

Good Luck!
