Day 193 to 205 - My St Kilda Family


Myself and Marley, the super cool Dutch surfer chick.
I haven't updated the blog for a while now because I have been far too busy having an awesome time. The girls I live with are now some of my closest friends. They were so welcoming when I first arrived and now after a few weeks together we are a proper little family. To thank them for being so great I cooked a proper English roast dinner and introduced them to "Yorkshire Puddings" (I have now made a positive impact on the world - my life is complete).

In my last post I mentioned my lack of concern regarding job hunting. Well I can now confirm I was just too lazy. Instead, I joined a gym with Andrea and Veronica and we've all been getting foxy, ha ha.

Myself and Laura, the German love of my life.

I've been for a romantic stroll around Albert park with Marley :). It's really beautiful down there, walking around the lake, and running away from the scary black swans. Marley did the running by the way, I just stood and laughed. We also had a little jaunt around Luna Amusement Park, and by 'little' I do mean little. It takes about 60 seconds to walk all the way around and see what rides are available. Although it does also take about 5 minutes to get into the park because the funny shaped mirrors in the entrance are just so much fun :)  . 

The weather has continued to be amazing (contrary to predictions) so I have been sunbathing on the beach countless times, as well as sunbathing in the back garden when we needed that little extra privacy ;) . I've also been sunbathing on the nearly empty beaches of Philip Island. We were supposed to go see the  penguin parade on the island but it turns out it costs a lot just to see them from a distance and you can't take photos. Whereas after dark at St Kilda pier you can see penguins up close and personal, and provided you don't scare the little cuties with the flash you can capture the moment on camera.

Veronica, the Canadian booty shaker, and Andrea,
the English giggle-puss.
Obviously my evenings have continued to be amazing. The girls are all up for a good laugh and St Kilda is not short on great bars and pubs to go to. Including a couple of good English style pubs.

Sadly I can't really do the girls justice on here. I love them all and hate that I'll have to leave them soon. Still, I have a whole fun filled week left with them so I will be making the most of it.

Living the dream baby, living the dream...
