So a brief placement for today.... Not a great deal going on, and noone hugely keen to take me under their wing, so I shot straight out to the sun.... To stumble upon a gathering of people around some telescopes!! Venus was passing through the suns orbit...and this is apparently the best place to see it in the world! And it's wont happen again for our lifetimes! Exciting stuff!!! As I was looking at this black dot over the burn red/orange sun I had an abc news presenter asking to interview me!! How exciting! Though I think the general audience may struggle to understand what I am saying, my accent seems to cause far more problems to understand than I had imagined... So if I thought the complex I had about my accent had gone.... It is creeping back! Excellent... Scotland will be fun eh!!! But I managed to get Math a mention on the national radio in australia for his love of astronomy!
Whilst all this was going on I got rumbled by my reg!! Eeek so I think I shall pop back later this afternoon just for an hour to show my face again... But first, there is sunbathing and reading to do.... Took a stroll and grabbed an ice cream in a beautiful ice cream parlour and read my book in the shade.... Sun tanning the old legs!! Before round 2 of sunbathing!!! A further stroll found me in a lovely seafood restaurant where I write this waiting for my fish, salad, chips and sea accessories! Before I have to shoot back to placement just for an hour... So had to turn down the wine offer with lunch! What a total shame.... It would wash the lovely lunch down perfectly.... Damn running into the reg!!!
Plan to goto the woodshed this evening meet someone we met on the magic bus who has now arrived in cairns for some dinner... The woodshed has quite the reputation for a crazy bar, but does $1 meals, so we shall see... Perhaps not the most civilised evening, so I'm peaking my civilisations for the day with my seafood lunch.... Though I really could do with a crazy night out blow out..... So it could all work in my favour, tiny issue of placement tomorrow, but we can see where the wind takes us...
Update later on the evening... Lunch has arrived! Xxx
So the woolshed was quite the experience.... The food was amazing...well worth upgrading! I had some steak (with peppercorn sauce...amy you would be proud) fresh veg jacket potato!!(eek so excited about this as its a very rare offer with your meal.... Usually have to have chips). We saw some goldfish racing... Pretty sure that isn't very animal friendly... Steph tried to be one of the fish.... As you an imagine they didn't ate to kindly, so she agreed that they could have it back if they showed us where they lived.... A little tipsy I feel! Lol nice bit of dancing and laughing before sauntering home! Xxxx
