On this Week
Ben 30th Gatsby Party
My good friend Ben had a 30th Gatsby Party which was amazing and so nice to get dressed up for once.
Melbourne to Manchester
I have not been back to Europe in over 19 months which is the second longest time away from my family and friends since I moved to Australia 15 years ago.
Stix & Stones
Stix and Stones are a new restaurant opened in Lower Plenty and they have a smoker on site serving the most mouth watering beef brisket.
MCFC are champions
I took Monday off work so I could go to the pub and watch the final game of the season with the Manchester City fans. It is funny when I go to the pub as you hear so many Manchester accents I almost feel like I am at home.
Vue Grande
I finally found a flat to rent in Melbourne and moved to the Vue Grande in Southbank on Saturday. I hired a car to move my stuff from Seddon to my new flat and it was the easiest move I have ever done. It helped that my car park space is the same floor as my flat so I was able to move everything from the car to my flat without having to wait for the lift and it was all done in less than half an hour.
Manchester City 1 - Manchester United 0
I came back from Leeds on Monday night to see Manchester City play Manchester United in what was a must win game for us to have any hope of winning our first top division league title in 44 years.
Coral Beach
I am still in Spain relaxing by the beach and playing with my nephew. It rained yesterday for a bit and Jayden is leaving me today to head back to England. This is a picture of both of us on my balcony. I let my sister and her husband have my room as it has an en-suite bathroom and it was only fair.
Sandringham Line
I was woken up at 4am on Saturday morning and when I looked out my window I saw a selection of lorries and diggers who were using the back of my car park as the meeting point and were exchanging loads. Later on when I got on the train to the city to get my hair cut I discovered what all the noise was, they had dug up the Sandringham line to improve the track and the beeps were all the diggers reversing.
Freedom vs IKEA
I finally managed to get someone with a car to take me to IKEA, I do not think I have been inside an IKEA store since I left Leeds University and to be honest, I am not sure I would ever go back.
Motorbike on Connex Train
I have seen some crazy things whilst I have been in Australia but this takes the biscuit!
2oorak
wow 74 days since my last update ,its been a stressful period. I've moved out of Eureka and into my new flat in South Yarra. There is a video of the area so you can all check it out although the flat doesn't resemble the one I am in. It is a lot smaller at 2oorak but it forces me to keep the place tidy. So finally I'm in my flat, still with boxes everywhere. I've got a green plastic chair for dinner and a bean bag to watch TV. I desperately need a couch to sit on, lol.
Byron Bay Holiday
I've just spent the past 5 days in Byron Bay with Georgia,Alex and Leo. This was my first holiday in Australia since I started work 1 and half years ago.
