Changing Times

Things have changed quite dramatically for me here in Sydney. I managed to survive a redundnacy scare and a wild trip to tasmania and an attempted mugging. But the thing that was most important to me in my life has now gone. I am now single in Sydney.

So I am moving back into a shared house this weekend, the belongings are being split and then I will work towards the future. Who knows what it will bring and where it will take me.

It is perhaps the toughest time of my life - but I will get there.

I Forgot!!!!

I am an uncle again. My sister had a little baby girl, Madeleine. I love being an uncle. If only they were a bit closer...

Update

Right, it has been a while. A long while. And to be honest I can;t be bothered right now to do a full update. So I will do a brief run down of what has happened and then I guess the best way would be start it again. Hopefully keeping it up to date this time...

So what has been happening to me?

Well my parents came to visit. It was great. It was so good to see them. And they, like me, came to the conclusion that Australia is not New Zealand. Sounds obvious. But I feel there is something about this place that just isn't New Zealand. Its good here. Its great here. But it is not the place I feel totally at home. I think it is to big. Sydney is a fantastic city. And every time I see the opera house and the bridge I am in awe and I have a little wry smile on face. This is an amazing city, one of the best on the planet. Its iconic. But Auckland perhaps just offered me that little bit more....

So my parents enjoyed the trip (I hope). After all it was me (I hope) they really came to see.

What next...Christmas and New Year. For christmas Rach's mum came over. It was boozey, it was fun and I think the booze was a key factor in serving Christmas dinner at about midnight. Haha.

New Year was spent at Lunar Park. It was a dance party with a prime view of the fire works on the harbour. Super impressive. Truly amazing....

What next...The boat party. What better way to see the sights of the harbour city than from a boat. Colin, a colleague from work hired a boat for his birthday and we cruised the harbour, lapping up the sun and the sea, and numerous beverages. Then there was swimming off the boat and back for a few more bevvies to finish off the night. Primo.

Next was the GP in Melbourne - go Jenson. Very excited about this season. But then I am a bit nerdy about the Formula 1.

And then Tasmania....but that desrves its own entry.

Well, thats about it. Pretty much up to date.

Watch this space, I promise I will try to keep it more up to date.
