An afternoon in Rockingham





I spent the day in Rockingham, which is about a 45-minute drive south of Perth, with my friend Ilona. We had lunch at a cafe on the foreshore and then walked along the path that is close to the water after lunch. We sat on the beach and chatted for about an hour. Unfortunately, half of my face was exposed to the sun, so half of my face is now sun burned. It's a good look. Rockingham is a really cute town, it had a nice feel to it and the foreshore was gorgeous. I enjoyed spending the day there. The last time I tried to go and visit her, I got a flat tire, but luckily, that didn't happen this time. The other photo is from when me, Amy and Ryan went to get coffee yesterday morning and I thought it would be a funny photo if they got on the kiddie carousel.

Tonight I plan to sit in front of the tv and watch LOST, I'm so addicted, it's bad. They've just started up season two here, so everyone is into the show at the moment. I'm one of those annoying people that keeps turning up the volume if there are other people in the room talking. Eventually it gets so loud, you have no idea what's going on. Or I just tell people to leave the room. My parents can vouch for my obsession with the show. I used to hate following tv shows or I would never watch tv to begin with, and then there was LOST, and the rest is history. So, think what you will about me now that I've exposed my weakness, but don't point the finger until you've sat through an episode, it's so addicting.

I am also a LOST fan, but I am still in the first season! I refuse to watch any of season 2 until I can finish the first.
