I had a lovely few days in Wollongong. Motel was right by the beach with a nice balcony for wine imbibing on.

Train up to Sydney was brilliant - 90 minutes, 9 stops, tons of seats, and tons of parking at Wollongong Station (which I was a bit worried about).

The gymea plants were flowering everywhere along the train route and I was completely rapt in them. I may have picked up a gymea from a Wollongong nursery on the way home. They grow in the botanical gardens here so I'll give one a go - in a totally inappropriate space in my garden, of course.

Back home to a thunderstorm last night and an icy wind today. Gotta luv #CanberraWeather #miniholiday #wollongong #gardeningAU

The hubby and the kidlet and I took a mini holiday this weekend which included the opportunity to use the Indigo gift cards I got for my birthday and Christmas. I picked up some pretty sweet books that I'm excited to read....but now that I'm home I'm mostly just excited to curl up with tea and continue the experience that is S. (or Ship of Theseus). I missed it!
