Dear Hettie,
It's been a long time...I shouldn'a left you, left you, without a dope beat to step to, step to step to ste step to step to wicki wicki wicki...no? Aaliyah? Try Again? No? Just me? oh alright.
Anyway, not much has really happened this week, it rained for a few days, yesterday it was chucking it down!! I thought I was going to have to start getting jealous of people in England, but I'm back sunbathing on my balcony again as I write this. It's 10 o'clock in the morning and already 22 degrees, I think we're doing ok.
I've still been working in the middle of nowhere. It's been amazing because I would have had to come home by now if I hadn't been working. I am slightly worried that I haven't found anywhere else yet though. My visa seems to be a real issue...I might be back sooner than expected due to lack of funds.
What have I done this weekend...hmm...well two of my pals were in Orange (about four hours away) so she could revise for her exam, and the rest of my pals went to the horse races, which you know I totally don't dig. So Luke came over yesterday for some daytime drinking, and I interviewed him for book number two. Wasn't as awkward as I thought it would be, thankfully. How unfair is this; he has got a job as travel agent and they are paying for him to travel all up the east coast and go to surf schools and the like, before finishing up in Cairns where they now need him to work!! It's hot all year round up there. NOT FAIR!!! At least it means I can have a cheap holiday somewhere though if i ever get a job.
Then I went out for dinner with my brother's fiance and a few of her friends. It was really fun. Had a few glasses of wine (?? still weird) afterwards in a place called Coco Cubana? it was weird. The clientele coming in and out were very bizarre. There were two teens basically having dry sex on the seat next to us, two druggies trying to dry their shirt in the toilet (which I think was covered in piss) and this chinese guy running back and forth to the loo to vom. Speaking of vom, we then got on a bus home and this guy chundered about 4 times before eventually getting off. It was vile.
This morning, I was woken up by the girl upstairs having porn star sex. Honestly Het, I've never heard anything like it. Now I can hear her making her beau some breakfast. Lolz, the whole building heard you boinking.
Might do the coastal walk again today with Luke. If not, I'm going to sunbathe on the balc, and try and finish Mem. Hopefully will be Facetiming you at some point too, so upset it didn't work.
Here are a couple more England/Australia differences:
If you go into a fish and chip shop in NSW and ask for scallops, you will get given a potato cake...
Sure deodorant is called Rexona:


Bananas here look like chodes:
