Relishing the rain


The weather in Sydney is so cold and unpredictable today, I feel like wrapping myself in my Grandma's blanket and not going out until the sun gets cranking again. But that would be boring and as a freelancer who works from home, cabin fever comes way too easily. So here are my fave things to do on a cold, wet weekend.

1. Go to the pub. Even if you don't drink (or are taking a break from alco like moi), pubs are lively hubs often serving awesome, affordable food. Take a dominoes set or pack of cards and stay a while.

2. Be a foodie. Head to a Simon Johnson, Fratelli Fresh, About Life or David Jones, stock up on a few delicious bites (cheese, stuffed olives, fresh sourdough, cured meats and a dessert treat) and make yourself a carpet picnic in your living room. Fill up the teapot or pop the cork on a fruity red and dive in.

3. Hit the culture trail. Art Galleries, big and small, abound these days in most capital cities - make the most of them!

4. Get away. Book a great hotel for a bargain at wotif, pack your bags and head into or out of town for the night. Linger over dinner somewhere gorgeous, enjoy the hotel facilities (late night jacuzzi or morning swim), sleep in and grab breakfast somewhere new. And don't rush home...

Have a brill weekend peeps x
