Soo… what the hell have I been doing….

Well, I have been working! After an epic drought of work I am now temping in an office. It is not great work, I spend most of my days filing, but the people are very nice and its money, so I can’t really complain. Most of the staff are accountants and I have found many of the stereotypes to be true. I have heard lunch table conversations about how to write off subscriptions to Finacial Review magazine and how to get receipts for $2 charity donations.

It was also my birthday recently. I had lovely bbq in our backyard that was well attended. The delightful Lola gave me a pirate kit. Yarr. It be great. Check out some pics here.

I also tried surfing this weekend. It’s hard, but damn fun. Came awfully close to really doing it and caught quite a number of waves. I find however that ingesting large quantities of salt water makes me want to barf.. funny that. Thanks a bunch to Steve for the ride and expertise. He just makes it look so easy. Thanks also to the sharks for not eating me once again. Good ol’ sharks. Reliable so far in their not-eating-me-ness.

For my birthday Sa’s gonna help me buy a bike. Being so sedentary here has lead to Graeme becoming a little ‘beefy’ (Thanks to Lisa for the adjective), so the bike will help me get back into shape, and dammit, I miss riding.

I also miss many friends back home. Hi All. I am still your friend.
