If you don’t count the patio our new apartment is smaller than our old apartment, but if you DO count the patio it’s much bigger. We don’t mind the reduced space inside because everything is so much nicer than our old place. I took a few pictures to give you a little tour…

^ The patio is north facing and gets a lot of light in the morning. Our (teeny tiny) plants are thriving! We have no neighbours on the left side yet. Plenty of room for a tent for Rosemarie. :D Still need a BBQ.

^ The living room. We haven’t hung up any of our art yet. I’m scared to put holes into the brand new walls!!

^ Dining… area? I definitely need to clean off that table!! Oops. I think I’m going to put up those three geometric paintings I had above my desk at the old place above the table.

^ The kitchen and pantry. Note the dishwasher!! What a luxury!! We put a desk into the pantry so that if I need to study or Scott needs to do some work we can have a quiet space. We also have lots of shelves for extra food and kitchen stuff that doesn’t fit in the kitchen cupboards, as they are quite small.

^ Bathroom. I haven’t taken a bath yet but I should because the tub is super deep!

^ The bedroom. This is the biggest change from our old apartment. Bye bye big room with big walk in closet. Now the competition for closet space is tougher. I am still winning. :D

Well that’s it! Now you’ve pretty much seen the whole place except for a few cupboards, haha. We’ve been here a couple weeks now and we love it. I’m so grateful that we get to live here. I better get a job in September though otherwise we won’t be doing much else except hanging out here though…

A week off from school/clinical a couple weeks ago meant a rare chance to do my nails. I dusted off all my water marbling supplies and had a go. It went really well actually, I didn’t mess up any of them up!

PS you can check out my water marbling tutorial HERE.

I also got my hair cut the other week for the first time in 14 months. It was getting pretty straggly and bushy. I like having long hair though so I didn’t get a huge change this time.

Upgrade!! I like the cut. It doesn’t look quite as smooth now though because I don’t usually ever blow dry my hair. :/ Sorry so lazy.

This is definitely not my best daily dinners posts. The last two weeks have been really really hectic and busy with moving and starting summer clinical. All my normal routines were disturbed!! So I missed a few photos here and there.

may 19th, 2013 – rotato (and other Summer Night Market treats, blog post to come soon)

I have no clue what I had for dinner on May 20th. Fail.

may 21st, 2013 – toasted submarine sandwich

More after the jump…Continue reading

We finally have internet so I can blog again!

We’ve been REALLY busy for the last week and a half, which was a good thing because I don’t think I could survive without internet for so long if I didn’t have so much stuff to do.

Since the end of school we moved out of our old apartment and into our new place. We cleaned the old place. Went to the food convention twice. Went to Lesley’s house. Visited with Lauren. Went out for drinks. Got my hair cut. Water marbled my nails. Started my summer clinical placement.

Just this weekend I prepared and cooked a porchetta and finally unpacked the last of all our boxes. Lesley is coming over in a bit for patio drinks and Ticket To Ride. I still need to study a bit for knowledge testing tomorrow.

Sooo… lots of blog posts to come! Here are some of the pictures that didn’t fit into any of my other posts…
