Unfortunately, even though I planned to have the whole couple of weeks off over Christmas and New Year’s, I had to go in for a big day at work today. My experiment was intended to run into January but it ended up being ready to go this week (and I couldn’t leave it). So procrastinating wasn’t an option… Boo.
9.5 hours later and I finished work, and now have another half day tomorrow. Lame. But next week I’m off for a whole week of relaxment. Yes.
Boxing day today. More family stuff for lunch coming up in a couple hours… not sure how much more food I can take. All part of the season I guess! But with a fridge full of leftovers already it’s too much! Okay. Better drag myself out of this Christmas hangover and go have a shower before it’s time to go…
Halloween party last night. I was Harry Potter. My boy was a sloth. I love my life.
I’m in PARIS! After 24 hours in transit the boy and I have arrived in Europe to start a 4 week (working) holiday. Our first stop is Paris for a few nights. We got to the Louvre this afternoon and ate at a tiny French restaurant (€17.50 for 3 course meal, oui, sil vou plait!!).
Doza slept in my lap the entire journey on the plane. Here he is watching French “Who wants to be a Millionaire?” With his new little backpack, perfect for traveling.
And now, it is time for sleep.
Yesterday (Sunday) was Australia Day, which means that today (Monday) is a public holiday. We took a drive up into the Adelaide Hills for a gorgeous slothy lunch. Yesterday was filled with BBQ, friends, drinks, cricket, tennis, Triple J and more BBQ and drinks. 
About to have a week off by the seaside on Summer Camp. I’ve been a mentor to young girls for 11 years now. It’s half work, half holiday, but generally quite rewarding.
Tonight me and the boy are staying at a beautiful house up in the Adelaide Hills. Wine, cheese, dinner, and a fantastic view. Feeling very relaxed starting this new year.
