Hello there. So already we're into February. Anyone wishing to know my address to post me a Valentine's card - just ask!
The next paragraph contains a parental warning - ie mum, don't read it!
So, my new job...As you may recall I am working in a pub. On my first shift I was duly presented with an panic alarm to wear around my neck which is connected directly to the police station. This is on account of the frequent amount of pubs in the area being held up at gun point, the term 'graveyard shift' now completely makes sense.
I have also been offered free accomodation by the friendly bouncer who thought Leah and I were lesbians. Offer, and I suspect webcam were swiftly withdrawn when I, ah hem, set him straight (!)
Nevertheless, working here has enabled me to meet Aussies instead of backpackers. The conclusion? Nice people but definitely blessed with brawn and not brains but with a gene pool full of convicts, we can't be too harsh on them.
For Leah's birthday, I bought her tickets for her and a friend of her choice to see 'Priscilla Queen of the Desert' stage musical. This was adapted from a famous film about drag queens, set in Sydney, so what better place to watch it. Of course it was camp as Christmas and absolutely fabulous. By the time we were all belting out 'I Will Survive' during the encore, Leah was truly converted into a musicals fan!
Leah has also found a delightful little shop called Treats from Home and bought me a chicken and mushroom pot noodle, quavers and bbq hoola hoops. Amazing. Aside from you guys, it's funny what you miss from home.
So not been up to a great deal but between shifts I've had a tour of the opera house, had a few bbqs and been over to the beach a bit.
All in all, life is good but definitely looking forward to getting that backpack back on and becoming a dirty hippy traveller again!
Keep your emails coming, love to hear all of your news. I can't believe how much some of your lives are changing, new jobs, houses, babies, engagements and of course the never ending kitchen saga at chez Smith...
Take care, missing you all
