Smile Crickey.. been here a year already..

how did that happen, time has just flown by...

Well, here's an other mile stone I suppose. Been in Brisvegas 1 year (and 1 week)

I came across with no expectations. I only came across to be with my partner who was very home sick, and to be honest I was getting bored of living in London anyway. Not that there was anything wrong with it, just a bit bored, needed to relax a bit more. I am certainly not one of those "the country is going to the dogs, to many immigrants, daily mail, rabid xenophobic" mob...

So whats Brisvegas been like, pretty cool. I suppose I was lucky as I got a job within a couple of months, and that certainly helped me settle down. Its also been very handy with my partner coming from here, it was like walking into a ready made circle of friends. Although still have the feeling that they are his friends and not mine, but I am making my own friends and I know that the circle will grow, if not to the same size as in the UK, pretty darned close.

Money wise, certainly not earning the same as I was in London, but hey who cares, I have enough to live comfortably on, and live a much better life over here than in the UK. Swings and Roundabouts, some things are more expensive, others cheaper.. For example we have just brought our first house, something I could never have done in the UK, and its weird when you sit down and think I could paint that wall, and dont have to ask the landlords permission.. of course I wont paint that wall, (too bloody lazy.. )

So I suppose in my inane rabbling way, what I am trying to say is, yep I reckon I made the right move.

Here's to the next year and then the next one etc.. just hope they slow down abit more.. I must be getting old...

well off to have a celebratory beer (like a need an excuse..)

have fun....

brilliant to hear that your first year can be classed a success, that is what I want to be able to say, hope that your next year goes well

Cheers Nicky

This dribble is what happens when you go out, with the best intentions.. then end up having one or two too many celebratory drinks...
