okie dokie..
currently im sittin at home, just had a visit from the Zimbabwean landlord – rather strange he came into the house and went into the back garden and took a spade and watering can, told me I was mad for leaving the aussie sun for this and then walked out again…
ok… nice to know im not the only crazy person in London :) had a craaaazy nite on the alcohol with Michelle Wilson on Saturday, little girl called catty’s older sister from back home! Was great fun, celebrated her friend Jackie’s 24th bday at home… home at 5am, had to wake the boy (were still sharing keys) makes up for the times he wakes me up when he gets home so late from work im sleeping!!
Had an interview today with a travel recruitment agency… things r run a bit different over here you don’t just apply for jobs on ur own u have to go through agencies… a wise man once said that they are like used car salesman.. and im defiantly getin that vibe.. put my foot in a few times but all in all went well…
Had to answer this questionnaire on Europe, ie wat I knew and wat I don’t – which turned out to be a lot!! Things like, which country is the **** river, or what is the capital of France/Croatia/Greece/Sweden/Norway/100 other bloody countries… and where which country would you send a family on holiday, or a stag party too, or a young lively couple… Im like HELLO!? If a person calls ME as the agent n says I have too much money and no clue where I want to go id say – right, give me some of that money and ill send u to aussie, best dam country in the world u can find ur own fun J ha… don’t think that would go down too well tho…
Off to Sweden this weekend for a 3 day trip to visit anna-banana – YAY!! So exiting can’t wait! Goona b a bit colder then London I imagine… o well I can handle it!! Ill have too!!
Anyways… off now strap on the old Martha Stewart gloves and clean the house up!!
Love n kisses from London to u all xxx
ps. mumma - we have flowering dafadils in the backyard - will take a pic and blog it :) xxx

another day...
well its cold outside and its not summer anymore... well its summer at home, unfortunatley not here at my new home...
things have been bounding along, out of my control as usual... all i want is the days to stop so that i can grab ahold of things here, namely myself, however that doesnt seem to be happening... guess ill have to figure out a way to do it without changing time....
finally have my resume all done - quite proud of it actually... michael and i did it yesterday in bed... something is wrong with the central heating in this house and it feels like im living in an igloo... i have just been reading a book by jodie picult called the tenth circle - they are in alaska, ie my living room... waitangi day hit london on saturday with the usual crazy kiwi style - 12,000 drunk charging kiwi's (n a few aussies to boot) went drinkin on around the circle tube line in london... there are 2 many people for the amount of pubs, so the majority just drink out on the street... it was insane... i spent most of the day either lining up for more alcohol at off-licences or looking for/in line for a toilet... i got yelled at my some worker of westminster abbey to get out of the garden that this was not a public toilet and not to get any ideas... i honestly was not trying to go there i was just searchign in vain for a port-a-loo in the westminster abbey grounds...
few of the boys mates decided to come over at 4am and cook eggs... one in parcticular decided he would be different and cook the eggs on the kitched floor, or on the chest of his mate - neither worked and the egg in still residing in my kitchen... was GOING to clean 2day but the hot water n central heatin are not workin so am forced to bundle up in tights and trackies and socks and more socks and uggies and thermals and jumpers and hoodies and a scarf - ie. like im taking a trip to alaska...
sent off my resume to 4 or 5 places today... no idea wat there about really - but said i was keen in the email anyways... dont really care wat i do as long as it doesnt involve sitting in this house any longer!! its my own doing i know, i need to motivate myself and get cracking, but its so hard 2 get motivated when ur so cold u feel like the blood may freeze in ur veins if you move an inch and let the cold in after youv spent a whole day positioning yourself in bed so that you kept it out...
perhaps iv been reading too many depressing books and need to get over myself. im in europe for gods sake - somethin that iv only dreamt about since i was a little girl...
ill get here eventually, i think my mind is finally starting to realise where it is - attatched to this body on the otherside of the world from home....
o well, better to realise that late then never i spose :)
missing you all!! as you can see, im still as crazy as ever...
love you xxxx
