O for Oprah

Lately I've kept myself busy running errands, doing housework or simply checking out the sights. We found a place to live in Meadowbank and we move on Saturday, so that kept me busy for a while. I didn't want to become a slave to daytime television, so I would allow myself one hour of daytime TV. I chose to watch Ellen. Oprah followed, which was hard to resist.
For a while I've wanted to get Oprah's 20th Anniversary collection on DVD. It's expensive but the other day I found it on sale for half price, so I had to get it. I watched the first DVD today. For anyone who loves Oprah, you should (no, must) get this box set! It's heart wrenching, over whelming and profound. It's fun to watch Oprah evolve over the years but the segment called Heartprints will rip you up inside and change your life. It's was so inspirational. Sounds corney I know but it's true. I can't wait to watch the other five DVDs. If I actually had tear ducts, I would have balled my eyes out ten times over!

Now I just need to find a job...

Cruising a Ferry

Today I went into the city via Ferry from Parramatta. It took one hour and made one stop. It was a pleasant way of getting into town. We sailed past our new home in Meadowbank and arrived at Circular Quay around 11am. I had coffee outside of the Opera House and then walked to Pitt Street Mall and the QVB building. I had lunch inside the Queen Vic Building at the Old Vienna Coffee House - it was very relaxing and quiet. I meandered back to Circular Quay and caught the 3pm ferry to Parramatta. Once I got off the ferry, I made a quick stop at Harris Farm Markets (very fresh produce and gourmet foods) before walking home. It's still a little overcast and it constantly threatens rain but so far nothing. Last evening we had a lightening storm cross the sky, which was fun to watch but again no rain or even thunder.
