my god, i think winter has arrived in sydney. last 2 days ive actually had to put a suit jacket on to go to work. actually, its been raining a fair bit over the last 2 days. great news for sydney, however, none of it in the catchment areas, so none going to our water supplies. at least we are not like Melbourne and Brisbane, with level 5 water restrictions in Brisbane. 4 minute showers is a bit rough!
anyway.. whats a boy to do, when having to walk 20 mins in this heavy rain, but put on a "boeser wolf" shirt, my german army jacket, a beanie with HAMBURG written on it, a St Pauli schlusselband (key lanyard) and blast german musik thru the ipod, as i walk under my umbrella in the rain, and just pretend its Hamburg ! didnt seem so bad then.
kind of excited because tonight i get to speak to scott on the phone, who is currently on holidays in Cape Town with his parents (poor guy). never thought i could miss contact with someone so much.. but i guess ive been spoiled with him having so much downtime lately that we can afford to speak on the phone. i dont know who is more obsessed..him or me..but who cares. mind you.. he got a 300 pound phone bill because apparently calls to my mobile dont get covered by his free international call plan..ooops.
on the plus side also, i hear by the end of this week exactly when my house will be finished. yay !! i havent seen it in weeks, and last time i saw it, it was just a shell, with no roof and no floor, and no internal walls, no bathroom or kitchen.. and now, its almost finished. not sure how the timeframe for the painter will go, but hoping its not too long, so i can move back home and start saving for a trip to europe. however, i kinda like living where i am.... i have the best flatmates in the world, but i think the strain of paying a morgage and rent is going to hit hard soon and i cant afford that and a holiday to europe.
got my work schedule for the next 2 months today... fuck im going to be a busy boy again... with only currently 9 spare days between now and 1st july, where im not booked already. looks like im spending 3 weeks of june in melbourne, but definately coming home for weekends as thats a bit much to be away.. unless they are going to pay me.... HA ! flight centre reimbursing you for time... hmm maybe i can make a deal for staying down in melbourne for the weekends and saving airfares, and getting time in lieu for holidays and spending more time in europe ?? nice though but fat chance. somewhere in all this Bert's coming to stay, and i get the feeling that some of that will have to be in melbourne with me.
