Snakes again
Monday, January 5th, 2009Walking back from Noosa Heads through Noosa Wood yesterday, Lauren came withn a few swings of her foot to booting a snake in the head.
Luckily I saw the camoflagued reptile in time and stopped what could have been a very bad development to the day. Worse still, Lauren was wearing flip-flops and has yet to develop leather-like skin to protect her feet from attack. Adding to the terribleness of the incident, after subsequent research I think the snake may have been capable of a deadly venomous attack. Yowzers.
Got a trial in a bar along Hastings Street tonight in Noosa. Don’t see why it won’t go well, it’s pretty much a relaxed bar job and as nightlife is next to non-existent in Noosa, I think the place closes before eleven even on Saturdays. All helpful towards our Central American Adventure.
Speaking of which, learning Spanish has become relatively high on our priority list. It’s meant to be a really easy language to ‘get’ but I suck so bad at languages. Trust me, I went to a languages school and 6th form, I know for sure how bad I suck at learning a foreign tongue. Notwithstanding, I am going to give Espaniol a good crack and we’ve bought a book and everything.
In terms of saving for the trip, we’re considering moving out to Sunshine beach and into an apartment with a girl from our hostel called Lucy. She’s from Holland and is trying to emigrate out here, and might have a spare room at a snip[ of the price we’re paying now, the only problem is that it is a mission and a half to get to Hastings Street from there. We shall see.
Adios for now.
