A Typical Expat Day in My Life...

Today was a prime example of a typical expat day in my life when my hubby is away...

First and foremost, do not get up to the alarm.  (Unless, of course, there is something I WANT to get up for...such as going to see koalas.)

Have a bite of brekkie.

Off for a walk.

Chat with hubby on the phone.

Remember car is almost out of gas.

Head to local cafe for a mug of long black coffee.

Play with the dog that lives down the street.

Drive to gas station and fill up.

Read a book.

Get a snack.

Read the news on my computer.

Hear unusual music coming through the windows.  Very cheery tunes...something with a kind of Greek-ish flair to it.  Definitely not the neighbors' genre.  Wonder where that is coming from.

Oh...maybe it is a free concert in the park. A perfect day to the park with a book (...and people watch!).

Meander by the river towards the park.  Lose the music.

Side track over to the Italian club to make sure they aren't having something I should be at. 

Music once again in the air in the direction of the Valley. Go towards the valley with the expectation of NOT having to walk all the way to the Valley in the bright sunshine and heat of the day.

Stumbled across it!  The Macedonian Church is holding a Macedonian Folk Festival.  Not a huge crowd but the music is fun and there are a few dancers.

I love discovering little treasures like this I never expect to find.  It happens a lot here in Brissy.

Head back towards the house and get an invitation to dinner with friends.

Now...if only hubby was here...it would be the perfect day!
