Today I finally saw my wifey after 3 months! (: Online chat just doesn't compare to in-person conversation for me. And we leisurely strolled the city albeit with some huffing and puffing, quenched our thirst by sampling more tea under the guise of "exploring", grabbed more samples, received free hugs from a very bubbly girl, had lunch in the W building with my pa and retreated to Tom Toms (many thanks to Bitter for the introduction to this cozy pretty place!) for warm drinks. Aroma Festival 2013 is coming up as well - can't wait!

| My collection of 'The Big Issue' so far. In major locations of Australia, you'll find vendors selling this on the streets. When most people walk past beggars on the street, they don't give money because who knows - maybe that person isn't truly in a position of hardship / is a druggie, scammer etc. However, TBI is an independent not-for-profit organisation which lets vendors experiencing financial hardship or difficult circumstances help themselves. The money you pay for the bimonthly magazine goes to the vendors, who keep the profits. Sometimes we are overwhelmed with people and organisations urging us to provide foreign aid and that's all good and fine... but charity begins at home. Do buy TBI if you want to help out these people (every little bit counts!) and you've got spare change. It's a thoroughly enjoyable read. |
