                    <description>Ellie and I have now moved into our flat in St.Kilda and are making ourselves at home.

                    <description>Ellie and I are gearing up for our move to St Kilda on Tuesday next week. We are both now working fulltime as Ellie has picked up some admin work at a Roman Catholic insurance firm if that39s not a proper gapyear experience then I don39t know what is and should be there until Christmas I think they have plenty for her to do.

We move in on the 22nd November so not for my a couple of weeks but we are very excited to get settled down somewhere for three months or so before we jet off to New Zealand midtolate Feb time. We are right next to a tram stop which runs directly into the City c</description>

                    <description>Ellie and I are now in Melbourne and staying with Ellie39s friend in the Collingwood area home of the Collingwood Magpies if you are up on your Aussie Rules.

                    <description>Firstly I have noticed a few glaring mistakes in my previous blog... Notably 39Chow39 at the end of the blog should be 39Ciao39 clearly I was thinking of Chicken Chow Mein and Mr.Powell should instead be 39Mr. BadenPowell39 and actually make sense in the camping context that it was written Clearly I should reread my blogs more closelySecondly I am going to try and figure</description>
