Well, I have been here for a long time, making it easier to notice more things, but they just make it too easy. Like the other day I saw some woman walking home with a scarf on, a scarf, it's like 30 degrees c here, there is no need for a scarf, I know it's spring...but IT'S 30C!!!! They're starting to get all the Christmas decorations up over here, which I can understand (I don't like it this early but I can understand), but I can't understand why they put snow in the displays....Australia, snow, and Christmas really, surely do not go together. Not even to mention the abbrevoooos...oh, that's Australian for abbreviations! I thought I was getting used to the language (cos it is a different language) but over the last few weeks all these new words have come into play, like "Can I borrow a little nicko off of someone"....!?!?....this equals, "Can I please borrow a permanent marker from you"...my spell check is red lining all of these "words"

| .... Apparently I am wrong... |
 |

 |
| ...So don't look up and read pointless signs! |
 |
| The gate on the left is always closed, and the traffic light man is always red... |
 |
| Party on |
 |
| Something to look forward too.... |
  |

 |
| Are you as excited as I am.....this is for a pack of fags! |
And finally, to any Canadian or American who has mocked me for having to wear a school uniform, at least we didn't have it this bad back in England:
Right, I am aware there is a lot of photos above, but these have been building up for a few months now. But you'll be pleased to hear that I haven't really taken any photos over the last couple of weeks, so no more to look at in this post....oooooh.
As for me, work's going well, the sun's going even better. The weekend before last I was sailing and kayaking on the Saturday, then went to the Brisbane Roars game on the Sunday, A-League football seems OK, very one-sided even though it finished 1-1. Randomly met some Saints fans there, good to talk to some people who are loving the heights at the top of the league!
Played with fire last Monday (only hit myself in the face once (the other time it just rolled over the top of my head)). Then last Wednesday morning headed to the airport to pick up Tom straight from England, 14 months and one week since I left he's finally joined me on my adventures. We picked him up, along with his mate Mike. So last Wednesday we had a BBQ with Kangaroo Burgers (of course) with the two of them and MJ...I mean Miranda.... Then for the weekend I took them out around Brisbane, then we went surfing somewhere down the Gold cost on Sunday.
Went out for Rosie's last Uni piece last Thursday. Congrats to Rosie for finishing her Music Engineering coarse, and to all other Aussie students have finished they're courses and exams over the last week.
And my visa application finally has a case worker working on it...think I just need to sort out insurance stuff...so getting there!
