So, for all those that now know and those who don't yet Dave has fled from Oz on a jumbo jet home to leeds via a rather large city called NYC, he landed home last Fri due to lack of funds, the world cup staring (typical guy) and a rather nasty case of homesickness, but he seems a lot happier so it was a good move and also it seems a lot hotter in the UK, yes hotter than Oz, here it is f f f f f freezing, i sleep in a hat, my specially named 'bed beanie' cos it is so so cold about 5 degrees at the mo and i was on the understanding that it never got cold here, down under, infact i am sitting here writing this with 2 pairs of socks on my 'day hat' and 2 layers of clothes and i still feel a tad cold, so the UK is actually warmer than ozland! But i must say ozland gives us brits the illusion that it never ever gets cold, have you ever seen cold weather on neighbours or home & away???? I tell you why not do you know why??!! i'll tell you why cos they have an all manner of tricks to keep you off the cold weather scent, like for example you know when it's freezing cold and you breathe and you see the air come out your mouth like a trail of smoke, well the guys behind neighbours have this one covered, they just get the cast members to suck ice cubes before they go on set and alacazam... like magic no obvious breath being blown, well theres a fact for you! So, anyhows i'll get to the point hope all dave's family/mates were suprised at his return, my stories of his builders site job was all lies to get you off the scent! well, now i'm living with some fellas, dave's brother aka fit paul - from when he was named 'too fit to be straight' by a guy called steve at glastonbury, but wonders never cease cos he is straight, then there's Baz, aka guitar making genius and friend to many stars - girls he drives a rather nifty automobile so get in touch if you'd like his number, then there is diarmuid (pronounced dermot) who is back in ireland for a few weeks so i am loaning his bed, then geodie ricky, aka larry masterflaps, well he's a geordie and has spieky hair and then there's potts he's from the isle of man, that's a island near england, cos he speaks english! so that is my testosterone filled house and it's grnd.... more about that to come but i feel i should finish the tale of how i got to marvelous melbourne first and fill you all in on the last few months!
Oh, this entry is dedicated to me sis by the way... hope your exams went well enjoy your 5 wek break and well done pat for passing your driving test, right back to the tale!
I'm watching the spain ukraine match at the mo, i predict the score will be 2-1 to spain, i wonder if i'm right...
So, the museum of the killer wahle, well to be honest the stories are not too thrilling so i will just merely tell you one! Once there was a guy that got swallowed whole by a killer whale in eden but, he lived on in the whales tummy, yet there is a twist to this tale, fisherman caught the whale and when cut open the whales massive tummy the found the poor fella that had been swallowed alive and he was still living but, he was nearly blind, had no hair and his skin was of a very pale nature all cos of the acid in the whales belly, so beware when swimming in the sea for a whale with a large open mouth! After our thrilling morning at the museum, we haeded off to find a spot for Dvae to fish, no such luck, disaster bay was the 1st spot and as the name suggests was a bit of a disaster for the fisherman, that was no go then we drove to wonbyn, down what has to be the weirdest road ever it went smooth sealed road to bumpiest roughest road that one had ever driven on and then it went smooth sealed road to bumpiest roughest road that one had ever driven on and so on and so on for a long and bumpily/ass bumping few miles - ow! We finally reached the fishing spot to find that you need a boat to get anywhere near to where the fish were so back along the bumpy smooth road for some more bum bumps as we made our way back to the main road! Well, saying that we tried to make our way but dave's directions are pretty shoddy eg... this way, this way... that means right, by the way! Well it doesn't make much sense to me! So we headed back to eden due to our failed attempt at fishing sites and decided to leave the wheels for a night of pure luxury in a rather nasty looking motel, well the real reason is it was a thursday and due to us becoming tv loving fools since our time in Oz we realised we could not miss the fab nite of tv that was lost, family guy, american dad, plus we wanted a real life bed, an un sweaty room and a shower, we were swayed so booked ourselevs in and headed off to the local chippy for some lovely fried treats, chips, calamair and bananas and with a belly filled with fried goodness we watched some good old fashioned tv!
The next day we were up early and set off with a good nites sleep and a warm shower in the bag! we spotted our 1st wee real life skippy the bush kangaroo on the road, so we carefully drove around it and headed on route out of new south wales to the county of victoria, down to the gippsiands! for more open road fun, i'll be back tomo! x x x
