So I’ve got a job haven’t I, a 5 month contract as a Server Analyst with these working on site for these. I wonder if I’d get the sack if they find out I have a Panasonic camera?
I’ve been there a few weeks now and it’s nae bad, the people I work with are quite a good laugh so that helps. The dosh isn’t too shoddy either so I should hopefully be able to save a few bob for my post Oz globe-trotting machinations. These early morning rises are quite a shock to the system though I can tell thee.
The early morning rises have been regularly supplemented by even earlier early morning rises to catch the mighty blues in action via online streams. I’ve been meaning to get down here to meet up with this lot but it hasn’t been possible due to work and lot’s of inconvenient Sunday and Monday fixtures. I’ll correct this soon.
I was in the the local K-Mart the other day in Bondi Junction when I saw this sign. I of course demanded to know what the jaffa this was all about from a checkout lady, apparently it refers to bedding. Weird these Aussies I tell thee.
The weekend before last I had my first look at Bondi Beach. It was only a quick mooch with Simon and some of his house-mates but I enjoyed it none the less, some of the world’s top surfers were there for an exhibition which was quite cool. I mean to checkout the rest of the great beaches Sydney has to offer in the coming weeks.
After that we went and had a look at an amateur rugby union tournament in Waverley which loads of Kiwis had come to play in. Blimey there were some rather large chaps knocking about and having seen ‘Once Were Warriors’ I didn’t plan on picking a fight. One of Simon’s house-mates (Red) is a Kiwi himself and I spent the rest of the day and night with him and a few of his fellow countrymen, was a good laugh.
Two albums I’ve been enjoying muchos lately are ‘Epcot Starfields’
Last Saturday I went for a 2 or 3 hour walk around Centennial Park to take a load of photos with my new camera, specifically ones at sunset. I got some good shots of all sorts of different birds, to clarify I mean ones with wings, to clarify further I’m not talking about sanitary products. I really enjoyed it. Photos will be up on my Flickr feed in a week or 2.
When I got in from the park at around 20:30 all the lights were off and 2 of my house mates, Victoria (French) and Romi (Spanish), were eating in complete darkness apart from a couple of candles. Possible reasons for this that ran through my head were: they had decided to become Luddites, World War III had been declared and blackouts were necessary, they were having a romantic meal for 2 (ay, caramba!). The real culprit was Earth Hour, a climate change awareness event that originated in Sydney a few years back and has spread around the World. This would mean that I would have to wait an hour before having a proper butchers at the $4.50 Abraham Lincoln/Jewish hat that I had just purchased for Simon’s forthcoming hat birthday party. Christ I felt like an eco-warrior, you know like Captain Planet or Swampy.
Other areas I’ve had brief visits to in the last couple of weeks are Paddington and King’s Cross (can’t these lazy flamin’ drongos think of their own names eh). I’ll withhold judgement on both though until I’ve had a proper look at them.
Search of the day ‘chum rag: hashing’. I really don’t know, you tell me.
