City2Surf [Bucket List #2]

For years I have wanted to compete in the City2Surf, a 14km fun walk/run from the city to Bondi beach in Sydney. This year, my school competed to raise funds for our school charity. I decided to participate (just walking) and here are some of my favourite pictures from the day (I don't even know why, because there were much better quality ones, I just liked these). 

The first one's my favourite because I like out of focus pictures. Hope you're having a smashing week, and it's holidays where I live, so I hope you're having a great time soaking up some of the springtime sun! 

P.S. This was ages ago (August 10), but because I only just started this new "bucket list" thing, it's only going up now. 

Creation [Bucket List #1]

So, as I vowed to explore the world (or at least my little corner of it), today I went to a cafe I'd never been to before, in a place I've rarely even walked through. Well out of the way of busy traffic - buses full of people seeing Sydney for the first time through windows sprinkled with rain drops, and business men in small cars, and business women in four wheel drives. The city is a marvelous place, but a place in which clogging your lungs with pollution is not hard. It's nice sometimes to remove yourself from the energy of city life and into the world of macaroons, cute tiled-floors and my oh-so-favourite CEREAL magazine.  With so many tiny flavoured biscuits to choose from, it was a tough decision as to which of the handmade macaroons to pick. I had to narrow it down to two - green tea and caramel - before sitting down to watch how they were made. 

In the future, I will definitely be returning here. I don't know if it's the magazines, the macaroons or the interiors I love most, but I don't think I'll ever be able to decide.
