Raw egg for breakfast, Ukrainian vodka for dinner

Grateful for:

  1. Having super yummy breakfast at Balmoral with a friend.
  2. Having a weird morning juice/eggnog thing that was surprisingly good. Egg, orange& pineapple juice and something else that I forgot with cinnamon/nutmeg dusting on top – yum.
  3. Getting a free bottle of imported Ukrainian honey pepper vodka. I don’t drink but I am part Ukrainian so I guess it makes sense. Sort of…
  4. Catching Manly ferry – wooohooo!..
  5. Getting drenched from head to tow by a sudden wave while sitting there feeling all smug that I scored a place right next to the side. It was an awesome experience and one I thought only happens to people in comedy movies. Everyone else seemed to think it was comedy. I also found the whole thing hilarious.
  6. Catching up with another old acquaintance for lunch. Stories to tell, experiences to share. Nothing like catching up with someone from a few years back to really put my recent life changes into perspective.
  7. Executing a successful mission of scoring a free take away coffee cup and then free ice. To celebrate the success we had Ukrainian vodka on Manly beach watching seagulls and surfers while a bunch of French teenagers next to us played music on their boombox and juggled. Another one of those surreal once in a lifetime only experiences that I so treasure and manifest in my life with alarmingly increasing quantities.
  8. Talking to another dear friend on the phone for the first time in 3 years. Revisiting this place I once called home brought back a lot more connections than I anticipated.
  9. Watching Step Up at home. Some really bad acting coupled with an awful plot but I actually enjoyed it – damn I LOVE dancing!
  10. It might sound weird, but I am feeling very connected on FB in the past few days.
