Catch up

Holy crap, I can't believe I haven't added to my blog since the 23rd of November, saying my visa application was being processed. Well on 24th November, my 457 visa was approved in one of the most casual phone conversations I think I've ever had....so I'm now allowed to stay in Australia until 24th November 2015! Whether I will or not is another issue, I still have the travel bug in me, so here's seeing whether I can cope that long in one place!

So, what have I been up to over the last few weeks, I suppose it'll just be a bit of a re-cap (yet again, I haven't taken too many photos....oooopsie)

So that weekend I went out and celebrated getting my visa be going to Dub Day Afternoon. Then celebrated even further by crippling my neck the next day pissing around in Kangaroo Point Park. Also, the last Friday in November was my last Friday working at the Groove Train...I've got my Friday evenings back!!!!

The following weekend was MJ's leaving weekend.

Even though it took her a week to actually leave:

This is the following week at Brisbane Airport as she's finally heading off to Melbourne, before Thailand (where she just left today), then onto Norway, before moving to The Netherlands to live early next year. Tom and I also went car hunting that weekend with no great success, so I sadly think that buying a car will be on hold for a while! Also I finally got to watch a full Saints game that weekend (the one home game that they didn't win), and also catch up with Rich who I haven't seen since I left school. I also had a BBQ with Jeremy and Mel later that week as they are both leaving too........They always leave in bundles!

The Friday just passed was work's Christmas party, we had free food and beer on a roof top at the UQ campus.....where I got a $50 David Jones voucher (it's a shopping chain...not the pedophile), but I've been told that $50 in David Jones won't get me anything....ah well. That turned into a messy Afternoon / Evening / Night that later involved early morning tree climbing, roof climbing, and roof top pool jumping...fun times!

And that was followed by more rock pool diving on the Sunday just passed. We headed down to Currumbin Valley to hang out here:

Doesn't it just advertise it all.....And, make it so much more appealing!

Peacock!

And we're all still alive to tell the tales (hence why you can read this!!!)

Finished my weekend with derby day.....Skate were so lucky to get that point! Still, top of the league Saints, keep it up! I still get so psyic up for these games from half the world away!

My next post will be more exciting, I promise, I have two more days at work then I have no idea what I'm doing for Christmas and the rest of my time off yet, but I have manged to get time off until Wednesday 4th January next year, so I will be getting out of Brisbane somehow and somewhere to enjoy my first ever Christmas, New Years, and Birthday in a summer...boom yeah I'm excited! So I doubt I'll be posting before Sunday so I hope that everyone has a Merry Christmas....I'm currently in the process of making my holiday season plans as I type!

Feliz Navidad a todos! (That's Google Translate, my Spanish aint that good yet!)
