Hello all!!

I know some of you have been long awaiting my next blog!! I do apologise in the lack of keeping you all up to date just been so busy and not had much chance to sit down and write a load!!! I think I last wrote after I had my first session which was like a week and a half ago now so a lot has happened since then!! So continue off from that saturday- we were dragged to the celtic pub (quite ironic) as seems to play a lot of the english soccer (i mean football games)!! As we have matty who is a devout liverpool/ scouser fan! So i think we all know we will end up going to watch the games!! I t was quite surprising to see so many liverpool supporters!!

As for the sunday it was back to training first thing which is something i will deffinatley have to get used to first thing on a sunday morning!!! The rest of the day we just chilled out and back to watch the Man u game a lot later that evening!! As for last week it was quite a busy week and my first full week of training and getting to know how things could map out! Monday started off the week with a run up the MCG (Melbourne Cricket Ground) and home circuits at the flat. Me and Holly ventured around a bit more as it was also Hollys first day of getting up at silly oclock to get to her training we didnt go too crazy!! We all just chilled out in the evening as every one had training on the Tuesday.

I had an interview on the tuesday for fitness first out here- kind of a waste of time think the boss just wanted to chat me up really... HAHA!! As i am now allowed to go use it when i want just as long as i call him first! (think ill pass got my own gym at the track any way lol) Tuesday night every one had training and the boys have now excluded me and Holly from the boys only RUSH night! Basically its a cheap, tacky australian version of the bill but 100 times worse!!!! So much so me and holly had our rush night and fell asleep before the end of it lol!!!

Wednesday was an exicting day- shamits birthday! so me and holly made him a cake and we all clubbed together to buy him a bulldogs vest! (the aussie rules football team he supported last friday) We headed down over the Yaraha river to the crown casino where it goes up to different clubs. After some of the boys had a try at the games and (in most cases) lost some money! We had a really good night where didnt involve too much alcohol (with some exceptions.... HOLLY!!!) and and steve busting a groove on the dance floor!

Thursday I feel a lot of people were shall we say very tired, where as some of us got up and wondered around some more and did some more job applying!! All had training that night and just chilled out in the evening. Friday got up for my session again and then we headed in to the centre of town as there was a big parade being held. This was due to the AFL (Aussie Rules final) being held the next saturday. They paraded their favourite footie stars through melbourne- was a really good event. Then in the afternoon we all headed down to st kilda beach again where it was so much hotter in comparison to when me and holly went last time! Spent the whole time trying to impress the cricketers with my amazing bowling and throwing technique.

Saturday started off with training again and then we headed in to the centre of the city to watch the aussie rules grand final. They had put up a massive screen up in federation square to watch the game with a whole seating area for the public. I have never seen anything like it- the hawks versus the Geelong, people sat pleasantly in the boiling hot sun cheering for their teams. The most amusing part was that the boys had brought booze- but they werent even allowed to drink it as their is no drinking in public policy in the city which was just great!!

Sunday again was a beautifully hot day and i started it with training- so i can now say my back and arms are already looking a beautiful colour!!! As for the rest of the day we didnt too much and just chilled out really!!

Sorry i know this is a long one- ive nearly got up to date!! As for monday we spent most of the day with matt our mentor overy here going through things! And we went to vic market, only to find out that it was closed!! We then spent the evening down at neils and steves flat as it was steves birthday and me and holly had made him a cake! We also clubbed together to get him some ipod speakers as we knew he was looking for some! As for yesterday me holly tried again and went to viccie market!! It is huge!!! I have never seen anything like it!! I saw kangeroo meat for sale which i did not the like the look of!!

Right im going to leave it as that for now as going out in a bit think we are heading to the cinema- we now have a new guy with us another alex he joined the group on monday hes cool, really getting on with every one. Just wanted to say miss you all soo much and just hope all is well at home!!! Take care and muchos love from down under
