Sydney Update

What a busy last 4 months.

For those who are still checking my blog (haardcore!) here is the quick update:
* Visited Croatia and Turkey - our last European trip before heading home. Turkey was more amazing than I thought it would be - really beautiful, great natural wonders, fun experiences (hot air ballooning, staying in a cave, waiting in bus terminals like hobos in the wee hours of the morning, and a very badly planned 30 hour trip from Croatia to Cappadocia)
* Packed up and left London :( - good bye pubs, goodbye Two Point Thai. Most missed things about London - lazy Sunday arvos at pub (pint and chips, maybe some darts and trivia?), Saturday morning run with the boys (usually followed by breakfast at Gob/Syls), travelling (always having something to look forward to when work is starting to grind), friends, public transport, living in central city, internet shopping (amazon, e-buyer, e-bay!), earning pounds, eating places (two point thai, mandarin kitchen, beirut express, marylebone high st, la fromagerie, ginger ping ....).

* Quick trip through HK and Singers - foood! Special thanks to our hosts - T&R for having us over and organising dinner, daarn tart, frozen yoghurt mmmm mmmm ... oh and chilli crab in singers w jojo, ice kachung mmmm mmm

* Back to Aussie land. Great catching up w family and friends. Stu and Yve's wedding was great, bought a car, enjoyed some quality weather. Life - living space, quality of health care, general food standard - is very good here and defn good reasons to be back in Sydney.

* Started house hunting - this seriously feels like a homework/assignment that is due but not for a few months, that is tempting to keep putting off. Feels like a really big decision about where to buy and invest all our hard earned pennies into and each house is sooo different. Need to develop some psychic powers to be able to envision our future needs and what living in each place would feel like.

* got a job, hate the workplace environment (mostly the boss) and decided at 2-3 weeks in (after much whinging to Jen) that I would find another job. Felt like a sorta rash decision, and in back of my mind not sure if I hate this workplace or just hate working ... but I don't reckon I've worked in a less fun job. Anyway moving on in a few weeks, to a job further away, but hope to learn a bit more before entering the world of business ownership (scary!)

Will prob try to blog in about a month or two - check back in. Oh, the other thing that i've found since coming back to Sydney - all my old pc files - such classics as Romp.com's Jake's Booty Call! "I'll have a jack and coke, and a bottle of dom!"
