I got a lovely new laptop in the school holidays and I was very inspired to write again.  Write lots.  Write amusing and memorable journal entries, write children’s stories, write novels, write about everything that 2008 served me up and all the new adventures of 2009… cos uh, 2008 was a hell of a year.. the last time I wrote on my blog I’d just ( Read more... )

While I've been travelling around on my own, you find yourself in situations where it sucks to be alone.  The main one for me I think, is when you go out to get something to eat and you're dining in and you sit at a table for one and look like a real loner while you order, wait for your food and then eat it by yourself, and you have nothing to do ( Read more... )

Yesterday I went through 3 countries in one day.  Awesome.

I met up with Suzi in London yesterday, she is the other chick from Perth who will be doing the training.  We took the Eurostar to Paris (the train that goes under the Channel) and chatting to her yesterday was the most I've spoken all week I think, cos I have ( Read more... )

I don't think anyone has high expectations of hostel showers - a site where cold water and tinea runs rampant.  I even bought some turquoise thongs before I left home to wear in the shower even tho my feet don't work very well in thongs.  However I have been pleasantly surprised by my ensuite bathroom in my 4 bed dorm in which only I occupy.  The ( Read more... )
