Sunny in mind, not so sunny outside
Having lost my job and giving up on the job search (i’m leaving Sydney soon anyway), I needed to refresh my soul and so last week Em and I went to a mind, body and spirit festival. This proved to be very enlightening, despite paying $7 for a minute salad! There was the usual crap like tarot card reading and such like but there were some interesting stalls and I had a nice chinese shoulder massage.
I also had a Helia Crystal Essences consultation. Crystal essences and the vibrational frequencies they emit apparently bring us to a state of being healthy and well within. They are used to create remedies to address different issues and during the consulation the consultant chooses which essences are appropriate for you at that particular time by tuning into or accessing your ‘higher self’. Basically you’re telling them what your issues are through your mind or something like that. It was pretty accurate although I chose not to purchase my personal remedy, I’m still not convinced on that sort of thing. We also attended a couple of seminars: ‘The secret of happiness, it’s all in the mind’ by Terry Winchester and ‘The magic of body mind communication’ by Gillian Maddigan, both really interesting.
After an enlightening day we met up with Louise and Kate and Kate’s friend from uni, Chris, for a cheap and cheerful dinner and the good old Lansdowne. Chris has just arrived in Aus and I think he’s just discovered some of the joys of staying in a hostel!Like drunk people running around corridors and throwing up against dorm doors!
I feel the need to add the fact that Sydney is now getting cold! To give you an idea it was the same temperatue as Sheffield the other day. Now to everyone at home that might be nice and toasty but to the Australians that’s cold. Just the other day an Aussie was complaining it was a bit nesh, bless ‘em they’re not as hardy as us British!

Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
