Canberra

Boring ................

I'm not going to even waste my lunch break with a big entry.

Went to Canberra for the day yesterday - it was so boring that I wish I'd stayed at home and sat in a corner of a dark room for the whole day - that would have been more fun.

Uploaded some photos onto photobucket of Canberra and a few from Sydney. There is a rather interesting one of me at Old Parliament House wearing a funny looking hat - they had a dressing up room!! I think that was the only time I smiled all day long.

If anyone wins the lotto soon, please send me 2k!! It would get me out of Australia and onto a new adventures - woohooo

On a slighty even more boring note - I have uploaded a picture of my 3 knitting projects - Mum take a look!! I am getting good!!

Weather

Well well well - you come to Australia in search of the perfect sunset ..... and what do you find

Hailstones - millions of them!!!

I'm sat at my desk, watching the worst hailstorm I have ever witnessed!!! The roads are white like they are covered with snow - I hjust had my picture taken in a hard hat outside in the hail to show you all!!!

I will attempt to upload it to photobucket now!!

Oh, and i have to walk to the bus stop in 20 minutes, to get the bus to the swimming baths, then i have to walk home, another 20 minutes in this weather!!! AAAHHH

I'm a Froggett, get me out of here!!!!

Hawthorne Heights

So this entry will interest all of about 2 people .....

But, I went to see Hawthorne Heights last night!! Yay!!

I must admit that I feel rather brave to have gone there all by myself, but fear not - on the bus to the venue i noticed 3 girls who looked like they were going there too, so i walked on over and asked them "Are you going to see Hawthorne?" and it turned out that they were!!

So, we all got off the bus together and they kind of adopted me for the evening - it was so cool!! I wouldn't dream of doing that in England as people look down their noses at you - over here people are laid back ..... it helped that i have a British accent as they thought I was cool!

The band were good, but the venue is round in shape so the sound wasn't that good, but it was still ok. For the first time in my whole life I walked into the pit and danced!!! Sara & Lucy will understand whzt i mean by that!! Oh My God, the bruises on me are unreal!! The pits over here are not as violent at back home, hence the fact that i could dance in it!!

It turns out that one of the girls, Lindsay has bought a ticket to see Panic at the Disco in October, and I had too, so we are going to go together - I can't wait!!

For those who are interested, I will be staying in Sydney until 6th October, I fly to Melbourne on 7th - so you've got the address, send me something funny!!

Oh, finally, Lou - the request for Monster Munch, as serious as it was, i'm not sure they would get through customs over here!! hahahaha

Claims, Bridget Jones and Knitting

Yay - so today is my first proper day!! I've had 3 half days training last week, but I am finally here full time!!

My first phone call was from a guy who told me that part of building A13 was on the roof of his car, and what should he do??

Also, total scary Bridget Jones moment ...... I had not looked in a mirror all morning, until just now and a horrifing moment occured when I realised that I had not rubbed in the concealer I dabbed on a huge spot this morning - AAAAHHH imagine my horror!!

So, I have enough work to employ a small army on my desk, and it's around about lunch time here 12.10, so i will have my 2 minute noodles and an apple and crack on with the slave labour!

Finally, at the weekend, I learnt to knit!! WooHoo - I managed to create about 20 extra stitches on my work, which means the piece I began knitting in rather round in shape .... I have joined the work knitting club and will learn how to knit properly at my first meeting next week!

Bye bye fans

xx
