Reservoir
I have moved out of my apartment in South Yarra and I am temporally located in Reservoir before departing for England. I have only been here one day so it is a bit early to make any judgements but wow am I far away from everything LOL. The blue spot on the image is where I used to live so as you can see I have moved inland .... a lot.
White Goods Leaving
This morning my washing machine, dryer and fridge all got collected by the furniture rental company I have been using for the past 6 years. When they confirmed collection yesterday they said they were coming to pick up the bed.
Leaving Service Stream
I left Service Stream on Wednesday after working there for nearly 4 years. It was a strange farewell, none of the new management came to say goodbye or even send an email so when it came to 4pm and time for me to leave I just picked up my bag and left.
Packing Up
I have just woken up to a beautiful day with hot air balloons floating past my balcony, it happens every weekend as they land just opposite my flat, I can not get them all in one shot but believe me there are loads. I noticed a few weeks ago someone had put up a silver pole which ruins my view. The weather is predicted to hit 29 today so looks like it is another beach day yeah and Monday is a pubic holiday as it is FA cup weekend :)
Cancelling Foxtel
I have started to give notice on some services and Thursday was Foxtel night. I am always hesitant about contacting them as from past experience they always make a mistake and cut me off early. A good example was when I came out to Australia from England and the electricity was terminated 3 days earlier than arranged, and to make it worse I was working on my computer at the time.
Back to Manchester
I have decided after careful consideration to take a long and overdue holiday as my last was all way back in August 2008 so YES I will be returning for the start of next month.
Wooloot Watch
I finally got my replacement Wooloot watch, well I say replacement I had to pay for a new one. For a product which is supposed to come with a lifetime warranty I was not happy when it broke within a week but even worse was the lack of response from Wooloot by email or twitter.
Flash Floods
Melbourne has been hit with flash floods after Yasi hit Queensland and then travelled inland which has seen the build up in moisture spreading south causing flooding in many areas.
Australia Day
It is Australia Day here in Australia which is stating the bleeding obvious but I was asked yesterday if England have a public holiday which makes absolutely no sense at all. I put that down to the heat, all strange behaviour is put down to the heat, lack of water or suffering from abuse of alcohol, I use the first two often.
