A lovely sunny day.

Hello :) I've finished my first semester at Uni. Hooray!! I'm so excited to have a month to spend sleeping in, cooking, reading, seeing friends, watching movies, going to markets...the list is endless!

Well today I had most of the day to myself. I don't know about you, but I love spending time alone! Luckily it was a beautifully sunny day so I decided to go outside to soak up the sun...

I popped on my favourite vintage shoes. They remind me of bowling shoes!
I planned to go to the newsagents where I bought the latest copy of Frankie. Then I went to the local deli to get a few fresh dates and coconut/apricot/date slices before finally stopping by the coffee shop to get a soy latte. 
I actually take this keep cup with me everywhere, mainly to Uni. It's great for coffee! I bought it at Finders Keepers markets last year and couldn't imagine getting a takeaway coffee cup anymore. What a waste! 
Reading...
I got a wee bit excited as there was an article on the band Seeker Lover Keeper as well as Bon Iver because they're the two CD's I want at the moment! 
Afterwards I walked to the local library. I haven't read a book in ages so I was determined to find a few good reads. I got out two novels as well as a memoir set in France and a CD. I was so excited to find this CD from a band called 'FLAP' at the local library because I'd listened to them a few times at the National Folk Festival and didn't end up buying their CD, even though I had planned to. What luck! :)
Reading in my room...

And that was how I spend most of my day. My friend who I hadn't seen in ages came over later in the afternoon and we made a hokkien noodle and vege stirfry. It was delish! Gosh I love holidays :) 

Tomorrow I'm going to Eveleigh Farmers markets. What fun!

  1. This sounds like such a perfect day! I'm really bad at spending time by myself... I find it's fun for an hour or two, but I always end up getting bored. Next week when I have a whole day off, I might follow your lead and grab some snacks, a magazine and a coffee then head to a sunny park. You make it sound like so much fun!

    I was thinking of heading to Eveleigh Markets tomorrow too! Loving uni holidays and being able to do fun stuff without feeling guilty for not studying :) Have a great weekend xxx
