How many blog fans does it take to change a light bulb?
One
Because you're all soooo intelligent blog fans!! :D
So, I'm here, sitting in a bean bag, in our house, on Bondi beach, with my souf crew family. Can't complain really can I :)
Been a while since you got an update. Sorry about that. So much to write about, so many stories to tell, but it's hard to find time to do this. Especially when you're always in company. But I'll give you a little low down on the important shizzle to make your mind sizzzllleee ;)
The last time I wrote, I was mostly talking about the arrival of Mark and Nats. But now the one and only Jason P has joined thee! Was a shock to see him stroll through our open front door in the morning, on his own, with no phone call before hand. But he quickly settled in, and felt like hes always been with us. I could be a personal tour guide of Sydney AGAIN. Still ain't got bored of it though. Especially when your showing someone new around. Did all the main city sites in one day. We've been to the beach, had bbqs, and some awesome nights out. No doubt. The 3 boys moved into a hostel for Jasons first week just around the corner from the girls, as we thought the house would be too crammed. But Mark and Jason stayed there 2 nights, and i stayed there once lol So was pretty pointless really.
Anyway, I guess the plans of everyones trip has been the biggest headache and talking point here lately. Jason's loving Sydney a lot more than Mark, and he didn't wanna rush away from here too quickly. He has accounting experience and he can absolutely RAPE the system here in Sydney. He's been told he can expect to earn $35 an hour! So he can live it up here stupidly, and love life. I've recently done my White Card, which allows me to do construction work. I've been told a load of labouring work will be coming available now. Ive been having the dilemma of working here in Sydney with everyone or going off farming with Mark. They both have loads of pros and cons. The biggest thing standing between me going farming is the price of flights there, flights back, and the waiting around on the work list. I could be waiting for 2-3 weeks for work and get paid nothing. The bad points of STAYING is the fact construction work will be casual. So maybe only 2 days a week of work. I have to pay for public transport, and there's a lot of temptation in Sydney to spend cash on :p
Mark is still refusing to stay with us and work in Sydney. Even if me and Jason stayed, and got our own place with him. I think he wants to see a few bits of Australia and go home asap.
I think the CURRENT situation is Mark and Jason might go off to travel a bit together, and I'll stay with the girls. I did have the attitude of "I'm here to have fun and enjoy myself." But now I NEED to make as much money as possible before Xmas now. We have all spoken about staying in Bondi until early Jan, going Melbourne together, seeing the city for a bit, then all doing a road trip across the Great Ocean Drive in a camper van or something, see Adelaide, and maybe go shark diving :) So want money for that. Cant wait to be on the road again. I think Cat and I will be looking into doing farm work after that to secure our 2nd year visa Justin Case. Jason might wanna stay longer in Melbourne whilst we're on a farm, and I think Mark might be gone before we even get to Melbourne. Which is a shame, but he doesn't want to work, or spend much money in Oz, so he might miss the best parts of the journey :( Not sure about the other girls yet. But hopefully we can do as much as possible with them. Making money and staying with them is my biggest 2 priorities at the moment.
That's as much as I know or can say at the moment. But things change EVERY DAY, so don't take everything as bible.
Cat had a lovely birthday at Taronga Zoo. Was probably the best zoo I have been to. Had amazing views, and you had to get a ferry and chair lift to the entrance, which went over the animals and you could see the city's skyline. We went to a really nice BYO Thai restaurant after the zoo to finish the day. Met up with the others who wernt at the zoo, ate good food, and got drunk :)
I'll try to keep you posted blog fans. We're loving life. We live on a beach in Sydney. Our neighbours are cool, young and sociable. Mostly Italian, Spanish and Brazilian. I'm gonna try to do a short London vs Sydney blog at some point soon. As I probably know this city even better than home now :/
Til then..... Keep your shorts tiiiight!
Zoooooooooop! xxx
