Whilst in Sydney I managed to catch up with Cheyne and Mel and see my friend from primary school and high school, Sarah. Although it was a rushed visit it was great to touch base and share in their lives.Below is Cheyne's MASSIVE fish, simply called 'Cheyne's Fish'. This thing is gigantic. I've never seen such a fat goldfish in such a small tank.
Out to dinner with Cheyne and Mel at their favourite Chinese restaurant.
Just before I left to go see Sarah. 
Here she is! Just beaming and thriving in her new 'habitat'. I'm so proud of you, Sarah. Good move, literally :) And you're looking GREAT in YELLOW ;) :D
Sarah and I took a 'short drive'. She assured me she knew the way...Hahah...don't worry, Sarah - I enjoyed your company :) We drove to...
NIDA (the National Institute of Dramatic Arts)!!! Yes, that's right. When people ask, I will say I went to NIDA. For 40 minutes. For YEARS I've heard 'NIDA this' and 'NIDA that' - you love it or you hate it. Although I know nothing about the place as an educational institution it was great to consolidate the buzzing, surreal aura around the place with real buildings and people. 
Perhaps even more exciting was wandering through the place, looking at photos. As I wandered over to the pictures of current directing students I saw this face:
Those in Florida may remember SHANNON MURPHY from our production of Dancing at Lughnasa (see below, on my left)!!!! I was gobsmacked - what are the chances?!?! So I've emailed her to get the inside goss on how life really is inside the walls of this mysterious institution...exciting!
But the excitement didn't end there...look what awaited me when I returned home:
On our honeymoon Jordan brought with him a brochure about this piano, promising it to me as our wedding gift...Have I married a Prince or WHAT?! Thank you, honey.

Now you all must come visit and hear JORDAN tinkering away in the study :)
My, I am a very spoilt girl.

Ohh yayyy!
Pics of our adventures!
Although very short - had an amazing time. Thanks for sharing in my new life - and listening to me babble away a million miles a minute.
And yes - sorry for the extended drive. I swear I thought I knew the way! I blame Sydney - it's too big. So happy I could take you there tho, have total faith that NIDA will be your second home one day :)
Thanks again Ellie, had a beautiful time. You're a shining star!
Play me a song on that brand spanking new piano. I can hear it from here..
Lots of love.. And hi to Jordy!
Sarah. xoxo
Very cool! We sure are lucky to have such great husbands!!
Thanks for all the pics....shame I didn't get to tinker also but I know you'll enjoy; yes VERY spoilt but well deserved. Well done Jordy.
