18 months of summer

has been a while i know, but there are two more than valid reasons for my silence. Firstly, ive spent most of the last 2 months in a place with no possible way of making contact. As is typical with Australians, they say ‘soon there will be’ this and that but nothing happens, just barbecues and carlton dry! so there remains no signal or internet, life has been strange!

Tuther reason is to be honest I have been working for most of the time since I last wrote, and I dunnae want to spend too much time on this topic!

Only one thing I want to say about it, just cos I know anyone who knows me will be like WTF!!! I drive a folklift for a living, emphasise drive! its so bloody strange that I would ever drive anything, no?ha! but its well fun, driving in circles and stuff 😉

I believe my last post was in Sydney no? If I repeat myself, pologise! but I came back to Melbourne rather swiftly, greener pastures and all that, despite the severely dissapointing beaches and strangely tropical weather, minus the heat! lovely people over here. I spent a long time looking and waiting for the right oppotunity to become apparent. Took a wee while, but I ende up about 6 hours north waiting and waiting for this grain harvest job to get going, frustrating that was, 20 of us sitting around in Hyah west (hardly a postcard destination). This wait was all because of the rain, which has caused no end of problems in these parts. The rains mean not only that we couldnt start work, but also whilst we were waiting there was bugger all to do, the temperatures were crap, teams of locusts (doesnt quite deserve swarm status) and mosquitos in the order that has not been experienced even here for many a season. So its all a little bit buggered!!

Happier times to come – right now im in Melbourne again staying with some lovelies I met here before for christmas, but im back later today to Hyah west and the friendly fat dog and manky tail will entertain me for another month! upon which I will be rich enough to buy a car and travel the great ocean road, grampians, Adelaide and over some of the longest entirely straight roads n the world toward Perth. This should be a damn sight more interesting for my next update, heres hoping!

Thats kinda all I have to talk about this time around, apart from mybe 2 tyhings:

MERRY CHRISTMAS
AND
HAPPY NEW YEAR CHUMS!!

we will meet again, and I will talk of my adventures over Yorkshire tea, ciao xxxxxxxxxxx
