Sing a song.

Love this song.
Beware.
There are swear words.
Well, there is just one, but they use it a lot.

I owe you.

An update!!

Traveling through Europe = Shitty internet.
Its complete crapola, and when you do come across decent internet it costs a fortune!!
I like to write blogs at the end of my day all comfy in my hotel bed. Can't do that if the internet isn't on my team.

This has felt like a long tour leg for some.
Me. Not at all.
I am loving it.
Europe is still fairly new to me. Last time i was here it was so friggen cold everywhere i barely stepped outside in fear of my face turning to ice.

This time the sun has graced me often with it's presence.
I wore a skirt in Verona.
I rolled my sleeves up while people watching in Paris.
I laid on the grass and sun baked in Munich

Today i am in Berlin, and it's not so sunny. But thats okay. I had a wonderful day anyway.
I went thrift shopping.
INCREDIBLE.
It was the biggest, bestest, thrift store ever. I had to pee soon after walking through the doors. That happens when i am excited.

I have has so many favorite parts of the tour they all deserve a blog of their own.
I'll get on to it. Photos too!

Be jealous.

Yes, now is the time!
I am the new proud owner of two very beautiful handbags.
Suck it!

I have the best job in the world. (Tomorrow could be a different story)
Or maybe i have the best boss in the world. (Again, tomorrow could also be a different story, hahaha)

I am happy.
And incredibly grateful.
Today two years ago was the official day my life changed. It was in Canberra, Australia.
I often think back to my younger years and wonder WTF.
How?
I always thought bigger things were possible if you worked hard at achieving them, but my life now is more than i ever dreamed of.
It is worlds away from my comfy little life in Tasmania.

I love my family for helping me believe.

Oh how soppy.
Eww.

Oh bugger. I remember.

I have a new nickname.
Thats right.

Guess it hasn't stuck yet.

Anyway.
It's 'Pepper Pots'.


This come from the boss. He loved the new Iron Man movie, which i am yet to see. He tells me Pepper Pots is a good name to have. Apparently i need to watch the movie and i'll understand.
And he also says aside from Iron Man, 'Pepper' is perfect for me. It says spicy.
hmmmm
I think i like.

Losing my mind.

I had an idea for a blog.
However, by the time the page loaded i had completely forgotten.
I think it might be old age.
It couldn't be the glass of wine i just drank in a matter of minutes.

My holiday.

After 7 months of promo, 6 weeks of touring and a hellish Juno's experience, I decided it would be a good idea to go into hidden.
It was almost at the point of permanent hiding. A small room in a mental institution.
Peaceful as they may have sounded, it wouldn't have paid the bills.
So holiday on my lonesome is was.

I needed to spend some time hanging with just me.
I often forget to sit down and ask myself "how are you doing", "are you finding things to smile about?", "are you happy".....
Sometimes i don't even listen to music for weeks.
Crikey, thats the souls fuel.

I spent a week in Toronto.
Didn't speak to anyone for the 3 days.
Barely looked at my phone.

The very first morning i woke up to the sound of Street Cars/Trams. I felt like i was home.
Toronto is very much like Melbourne and i love every second of being there.

I rode the trams to know where.
I walked up and down the streets and shopped in vintage stores and cute boutiques.
I sat in the park and read.
I sat in cafes drinking coffee and writing in my journal.
I played my guitar.
I listened to jazz, drank red wine and danced around the room.

The first 4 nights i stayed at a really cool hotel.
The last few nights i stayed with my wonderful friends Steve and Seamus and puppy Rhys. They were so loving. I didn't want to leave.

I didn't take my camera out with me.
I was done being a tourist for a while.



The room i made messy very quickly. I didn't make my bed once.


All my shoes i made fit in my suitcase.


Not the greatest view. But there was vibe.






My lovely.

This is my dear friend Ineke.
I mentioned a while back that she was visiting from back home.
She's gone to be all clever like and study law in Italy.
Hmmmm. Who thought i could be friends with smart people.
I miss.

This was from a night out in Seattle.
