Shall I come home?

It's been a while since I've updated.... it's damn hot in New Norfolk today! Even in the library it's hot! Phew!

This morning I decided I might come home. Not for long, maybe just a few weeks. I am missing everyone and missing the city and my life back there. But at the same time, there is so much I still want to see and do here in Tasmania. I decided this morning to maybe come home this week, for a couple weeks, and then come back to Tassie. Will see what happens!

I have been staying at my dad's the past week and it's been mostly cool. Has been a bit hard though.... I have never really gotten along that well with him and to be living with him and his partner and been a bit tough. When mum rang me yesterday I cried on the phone, and then when my sister rang me later, I wanted to cry again! It's not so much that I missed them (haha, don't worry, I DO miss you both!), but more that I didn't want to go back to a house (my dad's) where I felt a bit uncomfortable, and just not being in a positive environment. I really do relish being in a place where I feel safe, comfortable, nurtured... just being in a peaceful environment. Somewhere I can be ME!

Anyway, as I got to my dad's it turned out to be okay. As I wasn't hungry for dinner (had eaten heaps at the raw picnic) I read the newspaper in the lounge room listening to Inka Marka (a traditional Bolivian band with panpipes and such - one of my favourite bands). I felt relaxed and had time to be on my own, time to cry a bit more (just a bit!) and just BE.

So I've been at my dad's place a week or less, and have again helped him with his stall at the markets. I love going to the markets. I'm really keen to help with one of the organic stalls down there, but that required living somewhere. I would really, really love to work in an organic shop too, so I need to find somewhere to live and then start looking for a job!

Before I arrived at dad's, I spent a week in West Hobart woofing. Was mostly sewing, and helped plant some lettuce and did some weeding with Hanna, a cool girl from Sweden. Loved it at Kate's place! Such a warm home, loving environment and just a lovely place to live!! The next door neighbour cat, Jack, kept coming to sleep with me at night... so adorable!! Was nice to have someone to snuggle with! hehe.

Tomorrow I start riding again. I don't know where I'm going. Will either try to stay around Hobart for a few days, or find somewhere else to start Woofing.... or come home? Not sure!

I miss Adelaide! So a big hello to everyone who is reading this in Adelaide! Will hopefully see you all soon!!!!

Mucho cariños! (much love!)
