Am Not Coping

Re: Am Not Coping

WTG @Zoe7 .... 💚💕

Paint the scenery in your mind's eye .... take note of the colours in the water particularly ..... often the surface is pale blue reflecting the sky, but the ripples are a dark or golden brown .... it can be quite mesmerising .....

Going to stay for Vivid - there are so many people already argh - see how I go 😦

Re: Am Not Coping

Hi @Zoe7
I have a couple of suggestions on how to manage crowds at vivid.

1) Get a ferry to Darling Harbour. Even though it still might be busy, they can only let a certain number of people on there, so it might seem less squishy and you get to see the lovely Opera House lights on the way.

2) A couple of years ago they had a bar open at the top of the Museum of Contemporary Art which no one seemed to know about. It over looked the Opera House. I just sat there for a couple of hours and had no one bother me. They may not be doing that this year though...

3) If you like pancakes, go to Pancakes On The Rocks, at The Rocks. Nothing to do with vivid, they just do amazing pancakes 🙂

Re: Am Not Coping

Well done @Zoe7 - sounds like its been a challenging day today but you've done it again 🙂 I've never heard of Vivid... (lj sneaks off to google... and back in again..) Wow! looks awesome! and Nikniks suggestions now make more sense to me! finding a quiet place to go to watch and take some of the sights in sounds perfect! 

Ive been to Sydney a couple of times but not since before my daughter was born so much be coming up on a decade ago! Yikes! 

will be there with you in spirit!

Just sending some company -two of us "walking around a different cities" people - a tourist is a person who walks around a city looking at things while asking directions

 

I know travelling alone as more than one "blessing" attached - yes - we can do it alone - but it can be a little strange

 

Lots of hugs Zoe - my - but you are brave

Re: Am Not Coping

@NikNik I did go and have pancakes - chocolate and strawberries 🍓 Also the ferry to Darling harbour. Am absolutely exhausted now and am going to try to watch the end of the game and then sleep. Last night wasn't great and not feeling good tonight either. I am really trying to do things but maybe pushing myself too much and it isn't helping me fight the negative 'stuff'. Really wish I had Toby here to cuddle 😔
