Anyone Want a Hug???

Went to the Daisy Hill Koala Center (you know I love me some koala's) and check this out...

There was a koala that was awake and I thought awww, he's so cute and when I went to take his picture he put his arms out to HUG ME....(ok, ok, this is not true, but I'm going to tell myself that to make me feel better.  He was actually getting ready to scratch his back).  I still am impressed I caught him in this position.

As you know I work out quite a bit during the week with my trainer Florian and if you wonder if I really work up a sweat or not, here is the answer. If you look at the screen behind us you will see that the entire bar under my name is red which means my heart rate was at 90% or higher for a long time (as long as it took the bar to be all red).  I also burned 400+ calories (the number in the upper right hand corner which I can't quite read) during my workout.  Florian posted this picture on the gym's FB page and challenged everyone to do what I did--he showed me the post the next day since I don't have FB and I thought it was pretty cool that he did that.  

I got home the other day and looked out my balcony at the bridge and thought it was pretty cool that it was green and red, but I'm thinking they forgot that Christmas is in December, ha.  The light up the bridge different colors every couple of days so I always look forward to see what colors will be next. Sometimes they are solid and sometimes they are moving lights which is fun to watch.  

Went to check out some rooftop bars over on Southbank (across the river from me, just a short little walk) and I thought this one had a really cool ceiling and atmosphere.  Those are bird cages hanging from the ceiling above the bar with Christmas lights hanging around them.
