I love rain! I really do. I'm sitting here, on my day off from work, watching the rain fall. Granted not the best day for doing washing, but I can put the stuff on a clothes horse to dry inside so its all good.
I'm feeling great today after getting a proper night's sleep. I think the lack of heat last night contributed to me being able to sleep most of the night through. I woke up once but that was about 7am, and i decided to go back to sleep until 8:30am. A sleep in has been well deserved after the past couple of weeks.
Work has me scheduled for wednesday, thursday, friday, sunday at this stage!! I'm over the moon with the extra hours :) so, happy kiwi. It will mean I wont be around on the net all that much over the next few days, so if i take awhile to reply to emails or comments - please don't worry.
To be honest, not much has been happening lately. We're waiting on patrick's passport to come back from the consulate with his new passport, so we can go to the immigration centre and get either the work visa sorted, or the residency started (we've been told to talk to an immigration officer and get them to decide which would be the better option for us). That should arrive sometime between wednesday and friday, so we'll get the rest of it sorted next week (when i find out what days i'm working). Will let ya know when we do!
well i'd better go, my stomach's rumbling so its time for breakfast (mmmm vegemite on toast!)
see ya!

When life sweeps you away
.. yeah its been very busy lately. Hence why I haven't updated in a couple of weeks.
Work's going well, they've been giving me some shifts so i'm over the moon. I'm enjoying the job, learning things on a daily basis. Only had 2 customer's yell at me (both were for things I couldn't control), so i'm pleased about that. So all in all thats going great.
I'm reading some of mum's books, since i've got no library membership (and i can't get one for the city council in "town" until i move into town), and I have no "book buying" budget to speak of! Its driving me batty lol though on the other hand, I havent really had a heck of a lot of spare time to read. Nevermind though, I'm sure it wont be too long until I'm back to using Goodreads on a daily basis because of the fabulous books im reading, and have heard about and want to read!
I've been working on my 101 things in 1001 days lately, or at least trying to. A few of them are reliant on finances. But i'm planning on sitting down and writing some more after i'm done here. Who knows maybe i'll start writing some more entries to go on my book blog? we'll see.
Went for a bit of a walk this morning to the local "post office" (read: gas station/petrol station with post boxes, since there's no mail delivery to the actual houses around here). Took us about 45minutes - 1hr to get there, post what i needed to post, and then walk back. Not a bad way to spend the morning I must admit.
Well I can't think of anything even slightly interesting to post, the past couple of weeks, sorry! will try to write again soon! Hope you're all well and happy.. i miss you guys! xoxox

Hello February
I really cannot believe its February already.
I've completed training for both jobs and both of them have assigned me my first shift on Tuesday! So from 10am - 4pm at one job, then 4:30pm - 8:30pm at the other one. Its going to be a very busy day thats for sure.
Other than that life's been pretty cruisy. I'm getting reaquainted with the city, and having a good time seeing familar things, while being shocked and amazed at whats changed and grown over the years. In some respects its very much the same city, yet there's some new stuff hiding around the place.
The weather's been pretty good, we had one rainy day there last week and rumor has it its meant to be raining this afternoon, but we'll see. The day before yesterday was pretty darn hot (though nowhere near as bad as its been in melbourne this week), I got sunburn on my nose just from hanging out washing and taking it off the line when it was dry. It only took about 20 minutes to dry a load of sheets and then the load of towels!!! the wind helped a lot too though.
Its breakfast time here, so i'd better go get something to eat. I'll write again soon!
