One way to the UK?

It was quite by accident that yesterday, I nicked off from work early (I had an appointment I swear!) and ran into Vicki Prichard in the corridor on my way out. After quick discussion, we realised that she won’t be back from Darwin (left today) until AFTER I’ve already headed to Melbourne for my London flight!!! So I dropped around last night to see Vicki, Jas and their two kitties (one thinks it’s a dog though)! Vicki is someone I’ll always appreciate, both personally and professionally – she was the one who helped me out when I started my Hospital job with no hand-over from anyone! Looking back now I must have been so annoying with all my questions every minute! But she’s got her own back – since she left the Admin Wing I’ve had to train at least 4 people up here!

Well I just remember that I forgot to post – Mara called me last night saying she’s on crutches with a very sprained ankle! All I said was ‘it better be ready for flight day!’

I’m sure it will be fine Mara :o) I really do love you cousin… but Alex, not enough to give away the PS3 I won at the races! Oh yes, forgot to mention that in the last post. I won the ‘door prize’ sorta thing at Young Guns so now have a PS3 which is going to be sold as I need the money for my trip, not a playstation I won’t be able to take with me! I love so many of my friends, but not quite enough to give them the PS3 for nicks.

Oh and I’ve nearly packed… oh my god culling clothes sucks! I cannot believe, even after my years of travelling (haha) that I can only take measly little piles of clothes! What about clothing for every event? Forget it! St Vinnies will do well out of me though… A LOT of what is not coming with me is going straight to them (good excuse for a whole new wardrobe when I return to Australia I say!!!)

So the weekend was pretty good! Apart from the usual work on Saturday morning (RSPCA was good we sold a few pets!) it was Young Guns race day in Alice Springs - the start of the Alice Cup Carnival. Went for ... [Continue reading this entry]

I don't know how yesterday just slipped by! But anyway, today's date is I guess equally important as it's exactly one month til Mara and I land in London! I think I found a pretty good place for us to reside ... [Continue reading this entry]

No no, before you stop reading this isn't another post about what clothes I am taking, or not taking, and still haven't packed either way!!! I was going to title this post 'murder capital of Aust' but I thought best not ... [Continue reading this entry]

Well, where to start! My European Union passport FINALLY arrived yesterday, so now I am officially a British Citizen, until 2017 anyway, and also an Aussie citizen indefinitely. Good news also if you read Mara's page, as she's most likely getting ... [Continue reading this entry]

Well, here we are already in April and nearly at Easter for 2007. If you've also been checking my cousin's blog, then you'd notice that time has been flying by for us both and we're both so not ready to ... [Continue reading this entry]

Well, I decided to use up some of my ARL prior to leaving my Government job, for good, so I took a few days and flew to Darwin from last Saturday until yesterday (Thursday). Saturday night I arrived and was collected ... [Continue reading this entry]

Well.... for those of you who don't know, my cousin Mara and I are heading off to the UK on 17 May this year (2007) to live, work, play, take side trips to Europe, meet some family members and also ... [Continue reading this entry]
