Homesick....... lonely but all is good!
It has been soooooooo long since I’ve blogged at all! I get very jealous of people who find regular time to blog – unfortunately I’m not one of those people . . . but because I’m feeling run down today at work and can’t concentrate I thought I’d blog.
Benn living in Sydney nearly 3 months now – time flies! And although I do like it, I’m feeling incredibly homesick and lonely – missing my mum and dad and good friends and just the lovely things about Adelaide, vineyards so close, central food markets, cheap parking, easy driving, knowing how to get to A to B without having to plan the route for half an hour beforehand! Maybe I’m not a really big city person?
Saying that I’m sure I’ll meet some new people soon – I love living in Balmain in the Inner West. It has such a gorgeous village feel with fab pubs and restaurants. And I do like my new job – it’s fun and exciting with overseas travel involved. But of course there is nothing like ‘home’ where you were brought up, where your parents live, where everything is familiar, where there are so many memories…………
And I do love Yum Cha – my Friday lunch regular in China Town.....
And I do love that one of my best friends is coming to stay this weekend and we are going to get all glammed and blinged up, wine and dine and dance all night!
And I do love that I’ve lost 2kg from WALKING everywhere in Sydney!
But there is nothing like home.

I think that whenever you move somewhere new, you have to allow yourself a period of adjustment. Give it six months, and then see how you feel.
It might never really feel like home, but then again, when you go back home to Adelaide, that might not feel like home anymore either.
I think that it is important though, to acknowledge that it is OK to have bad days though and be homesick when you are living in a new city.
I can imagine it must be hard, and this weather doesn't help! Sorry we couldn't meet up this week (did you get my text?) but towards the end of next week or the week after would be perfect after I've welcomed home the pup.
Have a brilliant weekend, be very naughty, can't wait to hear about it!
oh thanks guys!!!! i was a bit miserable but watching Foreign Correspondent last night about drug addiction in Afghanastan made me think how i really have no problems. still loneliness hits everyone
thanks jules - i'm a bit of a wuss!
Julia- yeah think the weather isn't helping at all! yep we'll catch up soon, end of next week is good or week after fine too.
Just wanted to pop in and say Hey! Nice to see you back, and I'm hoping you'll do a little posting on new Sydney living experiences!
