Medical themed party

Now things are starting to settle down a bit from our engagement announcement, I can catch up on some much delayed posts.

While back in Sydney a few weeks ago, I got to see some decorations put together for my mums medical themed party for her 60th birthday (I previously posted about designing some prescription invitations for the party).

There was medical signs such as this posted up around the house:

and my sister put together this eyesight chart:

I'm embarrassed to admit I thought it was a normal eyesight test chart. It took me a while to actually figure out what it said!

Guests to the party were invited to dress as either a doctor or a patient. Sounds like it was a fun night!

Sydney Food Dates

It has been brilliant being back in Sydney!

As you can see from the pic above, I've mostly been catching up with people via lunch/dinner/brunch/dessert dates.

I think I will go back to Dublin 5 kgs heavier.

On the plus side, the scales in my parents bathroom are broken, and tell me I'm 20kgs lighter than I really am. Great excuse to keep those lunch dates coming!!

With the exception of the Max Brenner pic in the middle of the collage, I've mostly stuck to Asian meals since I've been home, because the quality of Asian food in Australia is 100x better (and cheaper) than what you can find in Dublin. If only the Irish would catch on to the concept of Yum Cha!

Sydney!!

After 30+ hrs of travelling, I've finally arrived in Sydney!!

I'm here for a short break (just over a week), and am so excited to catch up with everyone here.

I'm so jealous of people who can sleep on flights. I tried very hard to sleep on all three of my flights from Dublin - Sydney, and only managed a few hours. If only those seats reclined back a few more inches..!! (or..if only I could afford 1st class seats!)

More posts about my trip to come, but for now I'm going to sleep!
