It's all about the UK

It seems in Australia (and possibly the world) it's all about the UK this week. With the royal baby finally making his way into the world and closer to home the Liverpool Football Club making their way to Melbourne for the first time ever.

Today London may have been a sea of blue for Baby Cambridge, but Melbourne turned on a sea of Red with Liverpool fans from all corners of the world joining together to see the Reds face the Melbourne Victory at the MCG tonight.

Liverpool fans at the MCG Sing You'll Never Walk Alone - Image 101 Great Goals (Check out the video of the song too)

While S is enjoying the game from his seat in the stands, (Happy Birthday Honey) I get to watch on TV and see the lights from the balcony.

Go Reds. Though I love Victory you just can't go past Liverpool.

Autumn Sunrise and a Surprise

Another beautiful autumn sunrise this morning. Every day I see these balloons, I remind myself that one day I want to take a trip and see the city from the quiet spot in a balloon. One day.... Sunrise from my balcony And on another sunny note - drum roll please............. I have a new job!! Yippee. A wonderful moment happened on my birthday Friday where I got a call to say all the hard work and effort I put in applying and interviewing have paid off. Woo Hoo. So it was double celebration with toasts for me and my new role. More details on that to come as I draw closer to my start date. Needless to say a weight has been lifted and I feel that I am moving forward rather than treading water. A feel some baking coming on to celebrate. Hope you are having a wonderful morning. xxx
