Happy Anniversary

Well as i sit here eating my flatmates vodka choclates and enjoying some rare sunshine on a beautiful wellington anniversary day, i can only reflect that this blog has now been ruining the conent of google searches for a year now. Reminiscing back to my first post "So it begins" of trudging through the endless monotomy of final year uni life, how diffrent things feel now. Well some might say that a year is a long enough time to keep a blog going especially since i only started it to chronicle my emigration, but i say "fuck that" (loudly), the feelingof accomplishment of actually writing an entry although now pretty infrequently is enough alone to keep me spoutting my crap onto the internet. Well rant out of the way lets get updating
Well last post like some kind of lost episode i left you with many unanswered questions, "will he enjoy melbourne", "will he get eaten by a mythical beast", "will his great acting skills get him hired onto neighbours", "willl england ever win a cricket match", "why did they kill of Mr Echo when everyone knows he's the best character"(oops lost S3 spoiler).
Well i arrived in melbourne on the 22nd of december with a flash and a bang, the heavens opened and a tropical storm hit clearing the 1000% humidity in seconds,it also meant i got very wet trying to find the right tram to st kilda, in the end some gay dutch oldman handily pointedme out the way but not before showingme where he lived in case i wanted to visit.
After upgrading my room at the hostel (sharing with fat sweaty barmy army fans did'nt really appeal) and dumping my bag in my bed i went and got drunk with Jo and some birmingham uni guys ( i then had to sleep on my bag when i got home drunk later). The next few days the temperture plummeted, this was of a huge suprise to me since i was in Aus but i was cold (and i did'nt bring a sweater). Anyway after a few days of doing the tourist thing and spending xmas having a windy bbq in the park, it was time for the cricket. Well actually lets not mention the cricket. A couple more days of toruisty trips like out to the great ocean road ( i poked a koala) , and a new years eve fireworks spectacular i was off home.
There the tale ends since returing i have had the joy of lots of work and the excitment of getting my kitten soon (only 5 days away).
Well i'm giving up now as i have a desire to get down to the beach, Go enjoy summer (or winter, hahaha) with some Muse (soon to be played live by my band).
Pictures of Aus are here
