Hello Ridio.

Hello Ridio.

For once, I'm recording a Friday Diary on a Friday evening, which, yes, if you've done the math, means it'll probably come out on a Saturday morning. But it's nice to be recording a Friday Diary on a Friday and on a Virgo full moon red blood eclipse no less as someone that has four Virgos in their charts. I feel like there's something special in that. So as I come to this diary is kind of part Sydney, part Malves because.

We've just got to.

We've just got to.

Malves pretty much and we have been in Sydney. We left Byron at the start of the week, went to Sido's, had some appointments in Sydney. Boss had a meeting with one of his bosses. I did a day of podcasting. I also had a lunch with my lovely pod manager Claire, and we recorded a huge chunk of pods, so they're all going to start rolling out in the coming weeks, which is so exciting. And I got to go to the new iHeart building, which was a lot of fun. This podcast is with arn and iHeart and so it was really cool because when I walked into record, it's in the same building as KISSFM, and like it was the morning and the Kyle and Jackie O was like mid on like recording and there's this pit. They caught the pit and it's like, I want to say, like ten fifteen producers just working on the show at any given time.

Extra, you know what I mean, Like lots of energy. So fun.

Like even when I was walking to the studio that I recorded in, which I'm presuming is more of a pod studio but it looks like a radio studio, there was a massive white coffin just chilling in the hallway and I was like, guys, what is that coffin doing that? Like a real one, life size and they're like, ah, I'm sure it's something for Kyle and Jack. We just don't ask questions, and I'm like, amazing, Like there's just I imagine there's constant things going on for like stories or you know, planned segments down the line. Very fascinating, very fun day. And yeah, just back to back pods. Did a few Sydney foodie things.

I went.

I went.

My lunch with Claire was at a place called Sando's in Paddington at five Ways. I just got a smashed on gluten free with two egos. Yam O, thank you Claire. The next day Claire shotowed me lunch yet again. Legend if you hear this, Claire. We went to Calli Press and I got the Macro bowl and it was ten out of ten. Then we caught up with our friend Duncan, who is the creator of have Yoga, which has an online platform but also a studio in mull and Bimbi. So if you ever en Byron Go, he's amazing. And we caught up with Duncan, went for a really nice walk, watched the sunset, and then we were staying with Matt's sister and brother in law and that was a lot of fun and what else Then we kind of got we road trips. Then we got on the road. The next morning, we went to this gluten free bakery that I had been eyeing off cold, Whole Green Bakery, and I got a gluten free hot crossy and a gluten free cinnamon roll for the road coffees from their boss got a pork and fennel sausage roll. I thought the hot crossy was absolutely deliciamo and they hit it up and put some butter on it for me. Anyway, if you're gluten free like me, it's called Whole Green Bakery. I think there's three of them in Sydney, Like the one that I went to was in the city and it was great and delish, And then we drove all the way to Melbourne. We just stopped off at a little town called Gunning, which is like little farming town and that was lots of fun. And then yeah, got to Malbs late that night. Went to one of our favorite Mexican restaurants with Dad when we got in called La Tortoria I think it's called in Kensington, and that was delish and everything's GF there too, so that's really easy. And for dessert we got the flan so good and I got two fish tacos and a lamb taco ten out of ten. Then today is our first day in Melbourne really and I had therapy, so I did my therapy session. We did a lot of work around value systems today and around focusing on empowering as opposed to healing people. Sometimes I get trapped in that like, oh I got to help them. Oh I know how to fix this. I know how to help. And my therapist was like, no, Like this is all about getting really clear on your values. He's like, but also like valuing yourself and owning your value. He's like, it's time to step into that space. And we talked about like energy, not pushing energy, but pulling energy, like drawing people in with your energy. And I was like, oh that is so cool. So yeah, a whole day of just like focusing on values, which was a lot of fun. And because I do therapy sessions, but I'm in LA but they're obviously on Zoom because my therapist is here, and so it was so nice to have a real life sessh in the flesh. And then I had a meeting with a publicist after that, and then Boston and I went to Paran Market got some salmon and veggies to cook for dinner tonight, so it was really nice to have a home cooked meal. And then oh, we also went to this place called Sweet Greek. It's that Paran Market, and I hadn't eaten all day and I was like two pm and I was like, boss, I've gotta eat something. So I got this like three salads and so cook lamb was like a butter bean salad. Then there was roasted brussels, and then it was a beetroot salad. Beetroot salad was in credo. And then we went to Paran Health Food, which is a really good health food so and just stopped up on like some clean protein bars, some supplements, all that kind of thing. And then we went back into param Market to get to get our salmon and veggies we roasted tonight, and some figs for dessert. And then we also went back to Sweet Greek and I was like, oh, want some gluten free treats. Got a gluten free carrot cake which was really good, and then got this gluten free raspberry cupcake, so flipping yum. I have also been a little bit on the Australian Chocolate Bandwagon, because if anyone listening to this is from America, I gotta say Australia wins on the choky's, especially caramelic couil. Here's my take. I think giant Caramelo Koalas tastes better than the littlies. So I have had two Giant Caramelo Kuala has since been back in Australia. I had won the day I landed, and I had one today. And what other things if I tried, Oh, I tried a raspberry smash Mars bar. It's actually kind of good, so instead of having that newgat level, it's got raspberry. It was okay, But what was really good was a milky bar bisc Off collab Amaze. And then when I first got in like a week ago or ten days ago, Boss and I tried the new marvelous creation Coal of Fizz and that was really good.
