Well the cat is out of the bag, so to speak – I’m moving back to Adelaide. After living in Sydney for over a year and a half, I’m excited to be moving back to South Australia. So with three weeks left here, I thought I’d blog about the things I’ll miss and the things I will be grateful to leave behind.
I will miss…
Cabramatta and its cold rolls
The shops being open until 11pm every night
My roller derby league and the fabulous ladies I’ve skated with there
The Sydney Harbour Bridge
Anzac Bridge
Petersham
Wifey <3
Newtown
The batcave
My awesome friends at work
Factory outlets
My gym and its treadmills with TVs
Working as a tech journo
Lunches at Quay
Tweeps like Innerwestlive and Redambition
Things I am happy to leave behind…
The 40 kilometre train ride to work
Tolls
Paying for parking
CityRail (#CityFail)
The humidity
Liverpool
The rat race
Shocking pot holes in the road
The pushyness
The stress
The massive CBD
Getting lost
Having to rely on a GPS
Rugby
So that pretty sums it up! While I’m glad I moved here, Sydney never really felt like home to me. I’m just looking forward to going back to Radelaide where life is so much less complicated.
I'm Lisa - UnrelentingSpark in the blogosphere, Basement Staxx on the flat track, and @CapricaStar on Twitter. Things I love, and write about, include Adelaide, roller derby, yoga, all kinds of music, my dogs, technology, writing, social media and good coffee.
Sad to see you go. But happy that you are happy.
Thanks, Jenna
I’ll be around on Twitter still, and blogging about the next big adventure!
I know exactly how you feel.
It’s why I live in Canberra.
