Day 15: 17/9/12 Tried to sleep in a bit this morning as I was awake half the night listening to Galway bay! There are builders working next door though so there isn't much sleeping after 7am. There were people calling to the house in the morning for an inspection or sonething so I cleared out for a while. I went in to town. My only plan was to get a map of the bus services but I was told they don't have one- just separate maps for each service, which is a lot. ...

Day 14: 16/9/12 Not much sleep in Shane's house last night. Late to bed and plenty of people round the house in the morning. Shane brought me back to Mikes in the afternoon. I did absolutely nothing all day. I probably could have done with a nap but I knew I wouldn't sleep tonight if I did so I stayed up and watched tv with the lads. Had some food later then- first trip to Nandos and then watched Mrs browns boys. It seems it's a big hit over here!! Tired and ...

Day 13: 15/9/12 Lads were working this morning. I wasn't up too early. Mike was home again with the days work done and it felt like I wasn't up too long at all! Watched some films on their hard drives- Taken (so we can go watch Taken 2) and Old School. Had a trip to the Irish chipper- The Nicos of Brisbane. Then skyped home where there was nothing but bad news!! Then myself and mike went in to meet Shane at a horse racing fundraiser for the state games team (...

Day 12 Oz: 14/9/12 The phone rang this morning at 7:15. I answered it half asleep. It was the agency wondering if I was available to work. I said no as I was half asleep and still in bed. I looked up the school they said afterwards and there's no way I could have been there on time. It was 26km away, completely on the other side of the city. Next week I'm going to have to be up and ready for 7am incase I get a call. Then I might have time to get to the school! I...

Day 11 Oz: 13/9/12 Didn't do much today! Mam and Dad skyped in the morning. Sounds like they had a good few days! Then spent time on the computer- Facebook, blog.... I was looking up schools in the area as it seems you need to go to the schools with a cv so will have to do that next week. It turns out there are 61 state schools in a 10k radius. That doesn't include the catholic or the private schools! So hopefully with that many schools there will be some work...
