Hug a Gum tree

After a day of not feeling like doing anything, and I didn't, I had a nice evening with The Germans [Kirsten's pet name for the German couple living with her and Sandi] and their friends, also from Germany, who are down for a few days from Brisbane. They leave early tomorrow morning. We went to Bimbos and had the always amazing $4 pizzas. I had a Rekorderlig berry cider and it was nice to be a little tipsy listening to the Germans speaking German. Sometimes they spoke English. We were in the fairly private room upstairs and a small group joined us. A brother and sister, and their friend who is family to them. We all had a bit of a chat and the brother kept looking at me and smiling in a way to suggest he was into me. It got me all scared and heart racing and blushing. After an hour maybe we left and it was nice to get outside into the cool night. He was cute enough but I'm not after a fling. He didn't seem like my ideal guy. I'm too shy anyway.

I had another look not too long ago on Gumtree for rooms in Richmond and found a lovely one with two sweet sounding girls. I emailed them so once again I am praying they write back to me and we can arrange a meeting time and day. I really want to have a room by next week. I have a viewing on Monday night in Brunswick that could be very suitable but I am really hoping to get a room in Richmond. I don't want to have to say to the Brunswick one that I'm waiting to hear back from another places, if I get appointments set up for any of the Richmond rooms I have emailed about. I want to be able to say "yes I'll take it" straight away and be done looking. I don't want to jerk them around either and then say yes after two days or something if I am able to see some Richmond ones in two days space for example. I'm just hoping I'll either love it or know it's not right for me. The people are the key really.

Tomorrow I might go to Savers. I think I'm going to the Derby with Jess in Geelong but I can do a morning trip. I really didn't feel like doing anything today even though I did want to have a little adventure. I will even find a park somewhere to have a sit down in. That's so peaceful and I love being connected to Nature. I really like the idea that Nature is God. Not a person as such but worshiping the land and Earth instead of a person. That sounds better to me. When we went to the Botanical Gardens for Uni and we hugged a tree, I really felt a connection to the Earth. It was beautiful. I want to hug more Gum trees. For now, however, I should get off the internet and go to sleep!
