6th October, Knackered

What a week. Busy busy. Working or working. And still finding time to go and do stuff. Went to the races last saturday – an excuse to dress up I suppose .Met some crazy characters. It was the Australian football (AFL) finals so all sorts were out and about. Kinda got a good an impression of drunken aussie guys. Just like back home. Lots of drinking ensued and we kept trying to lose em once we got back to the city. Just imagine the classic meathead brit with an aussie accent and your there….

Found this british sweet shop in town which sold a load of british snacks an sweets. I almost wet myself. I suppose if you’ve been away for this long you kind of get to miss the simple things! So bought myself a packet of wotsits, some colemans mustard and some proper cadbury’s chocolate. Trust me, there is a difference! The pic left is where I work in the evenings, just down the street.

Finally I got to see a Kangaroo a koala and also found out what a real tazmanian devil looks like. Really weird setting as it over looks the city. Again nice views….

Had to get to work for 5pm and on the way back got lost in the zoo ( my sense of direction is dire) and got sidetracked at a nearby beach, not realising we took a bus down to the zoo berfore jumping on random ferry back. Oh well got to work an hour later and no one noticed anyway – just like being back home with my ‘roll in at 11am’.

So besides working and going to the beach all is well. Lisa and Vicki are off to melbourne. Vicki’s back in a month but lisa (girl in the pic) is off to NZ so it was goodbye time again. We are planning to meet up when I get to the states and do a road trip.

So things have settled down. I go a sustainabl life here and its pretty much like what dom said in the comments. I don’t feel like a backpacker anymore ( I feel like I’ve been promoted). I miss the rural jungles and cheap beer. But that time will come again when I get outta here. For now is all about getting money together for the next leg of the journey and getting a feel for the city I suppose. doing work for a bitch of a producer – everything is ASAP, see in in five and ‘dynamic’ or ’synergy’…. Least there is lots for me to work on – a little too much I feel. Money’s good though and actually get paid for meetings. Need to calm things down a bit and have a little more time to chill out because it literally is working or ‘avin it on a night out.

The accent is starting to annoy me a little – I dunno why though. Suppose its because of that bitch of a producer….
