More busyness. After my fun time in Dorset I spent a few days at home before going to Sheffield to stay with my auntie and uncle. It was freezing cold when I first got to Sheffield and I started to freak out a bit especially as my uncle wore a woolly hat to the allotment which was slightly worrying and made me think that winter was well and truly here. I couldn't believe I hadn't brought my coat - especially when I've been wearing it all summer... Luckily I borrowed one of my cousin's, which she had left at home, but after that first night it wasn't too freezing at all. Hurrah!

I had fun in Sheffield and even went to a yoga class which was good. I haven't been to a proper yoga class since, well, Oz... I did go to one the other day in Weston but it was more like a very, very gentle exercise class which didn't really make me feel like I'd achieved anything - nothing like the hardcore Bikram yoga I'd done in Melbourne.

After Sheffield I went to Leeds for a few days - it was lovely to catch up with my Leeds friends and I hadn't realised how much I'd missed it. I met up with Tyne, one of my old colleagues, and we made fairy cakes for a leaving party. We even made the cakes without scales - who'd have thought such a crazy thing was possible?! The party was really nice and it was lovely to see my old boss and his friends. And the cakes tasted pretty good too despite the fact that there was supposed to be the same amount of sugar and flour and there clearly wasn't, as told by the quantities left in the packets...

I also caught up with lots of people I knew from Chapel Allerton - friends from the Oxfam group and my old landlady. It made me miss Leeds LOADS...

Now I'm continuing my route around the country and am hanging out at my friend Kat's flat near Wimbledon which is very lovely indeed. I've also been very spoilt as I saw my friend Joanna who brought me lunch one day and that evening, I had dinner at my friend Rebecca's lovely flat in Ravenscourt Park which is most pretty too. And the next day, I caught up with Fiona another ex-colleague of mine. In fact, I carried her rather large mosquito net with me during all my travels and didn't use it once - it reminded me of her tho. ;)

So loads of people and lots of things happening. Including a move to London in the near future...eek!
