Life goes on...

Well, since our last blog, things have changed--in particular for Rob as his contract was terminated under interesting circumstances. What happened? I could give you the details and was asked to suggest a phone call instead if you'd like to hear more. The good news is that Rob is free to use his entrepreneur's spirit and seek new opportunities that would enable him to apply himself.

Last week, Rob turned 29 - (again) and we had our first house party at our place in Drummonds. We had around 20 guests in our house and at least half of those people were Rob's colleague who came in to say to Rob how much they miss him and his positive attitude that has now completely vanished from the office.

Happy Rob

Me's been busy with blogging, updating website, building newsletter, marketing and also running my Pilates business.  Have to say that it's not easy for one person to do it all.... it's damn hard work. And the most important thing is that I'm doing it for myself and can do it the way that suits to me and not to somebody else. Saying this reminded me a famous quote "It takes half your life before you discover life is a do-it-yourself project." - Napoleon Hill. Therefore, I must be half way through my life. 

The weekend before last, I was fortunate enough to be asked to teach Pilates at a women's retreat in Horrocks (60km North). Luckily, I ended up teaching around 15+ ladies as some decided to watch only. Rob came with me on this trip and met our new friend Bruce who took him around Chapman Valley.

So, life goes on and as my granddad use to say "Life isn't a feather and it's worthwhile to give it a full shot." 

Brrrrrrrrrr!

Brrrrrr. Last couple of weeks were, well -- cold!  Colder than we expected in fact. Early morning temperatures dropped down to 4 degrees C. BUT, at least it was nice during the day and it  went up to 20+ degrees C which was really pleasant.

Not much has changed in Rob's work life other than he's been spending more time in the office than he's home - poor thing. I wish, this situation would change as we're soon moving into "windy" season, and you know what that means.

I've been working mainly on growing my Pilates business and doing a bit of events photography. As a result, I'm now teaching three classes per week. I'm also considering to take on Aqua Pilates in local Aquarena from mid September.

A week ago, I went to the Camel Man Fashion Extravaganza - a fundraising event to support suicide prevention. Camel Man is an Australian brand that prides themselves about making high quality products that incorporate aboriginal designs.  I was privileged to be the photographer for the night --I really enjoyed it and here are a few photos.

Another opportunity came up straight after the Fashion Extravaganza, and it was too good to be missed. Geraldton was hosting one of five Chevron City to Surf series and I was asked to shoot this event. First of all, it was a bit unusual compared to back in Sydney, I used to participate in this event as a runner so being the photographer was new role for me.

"City to Surf in Geraldton is a bit different -- well, if it was really "City to Surf" the whole event would only last about 15 seconds, because the "city" is right on the beach here! So, everyone runs away from the City then up the beach and back to the city again! Much better view than in Sydney! AND now Heartbreak Hill, just flat running!

Overall, it was another well organised event with some entertainment, and I had a great time - meeting new people and taking pics.
