Holiday snaps – one year since departure. Doing nothing.

March 27, 2015 Carly Findlay Leave a Comment

For many years, my mum seemed annoyed when I sat around doing nothing. Now she’s telling me to sit and do nothing. So I am. Listen to your mother. Doing nothing is wonderful.

It’s a year this weekend since I went overseas. Gosh that time has flown. In the spirit of doing nothing, I finally transferred the photos from my camera to my computer. So nostalgic. Lucky I took a photo of EVERYTHING I ate.

I realised that since that trip, I’ve had very little time to just do nothing. I’ve been on the go for a year. And so it was so nice to reflect on the photos, finally.

Here’s the view from the Viaduct in Auckland, NZ. I am sad to have only taken a few photos in Auckland – because it was a pretty city.

And this amazing view behind me in Sausalito, USA.

And a view of Central Park, New York City, by horse and carriage.

Such beautiful memories. I have a few travel posts coming up – it’s been really nice to reminisce.

What you up to? Doing nothing?

    I'm sitting at the hairdresser alternating between reading on my phone and watching people. Blissful relaxation!
