hello there y'all! Well i'm bloody here! Just adjusted to aussie time and they change the clocks! Got a good hangover though to make up for it. I'm out at my sisters place, very chilled here - stilt house right in the woods, with pool below. Birds are goddamn noisy! Great here so far, but no job so can't move out to the city just yet. Very much enjoying the sights and sounds of Sydney.. particularly the sights though i must admit.

pony, great news on the CO girl! You have your dates set so that's cool, sure it'll all come together, no worries about you at all.

Good to hear from you Aqua! Sounding quite settled, hope your lad is loving it! Ain't it been cold! Except thursday which was red hot! The weather here is very odd! Warringah on the map looks a great spot, might have a nose! Quite fancy manly/curl curl area, but still taken with Coogee.

I'm stressing about work even though i know it takes time, just want to get settled though and relax into this life. One more obstacle eh?

Nige, I'll meet up with you sometime this week or next weekend. Maybe we should do the thursday CBD drinks thing?

doc u are getting it togther! obviously much more sensible and prepared than it comes over on here hahaha

anyway still waiting on my wingmen.. not impressed.

oh ps the goddamn flight was epic, don't fancy doing that again anytime soon!
