Hey all, It's been a while, but haven't really had that much going on, so I guessed u really wouldn't want to know about my sleeping all day and then geting up to eat and then back to bed again?! It hasn't all been like that. I have been working, I wouldn't say a lot, but 2 or 3 days a week, well nights. It is kinda bad when u just do the saturday and sunday, If you know that feeling when u've had a weeks holiday and you've got to go back to work the next day, I get that every week. But it's cool as those 2 days you get paid more. I have been settling in well there, I gave somebody there beer the other day, and he said that it looked like ... read more

well things are moving in the right direction now, Im pleased to say! No longer two steps forward and 300 back. More like 2 steps forward 1 back. Following yer dream can seem like megga hard work, but blimmin well worth it. I recently had the dreaded jabs and for those who know me, I didnt faint!!!!!!!!! I was a brave old cooky with a dead arm for the day. Not many days left at work now and ive noticed that my motivation is beginning to drift elsewhere....... I catch myself day dreaming about far away places, golden sunsets in India, crystal clear waters in Thailand. It seems to have become my past time hobby of late. The house doesnt feel like my home anymore as my belongins are being spread around the country, till we ... read more

Me again. So, I'm not actually studying, but we are in Cambridge, so I guess I could be! Last blog was until Bath, so I'll catch you up since then. We spent the day wandering around Bath, doing the obligatory things, like going to the Roman Baths! They were actually really interesting, lots of information, and an included audio guide in the admission price is certainly a must. Lots of stuff to listen to, and lots of stuff that the Romans did way before their time! Central heating in the Roman Baths when the Romans built it! Very impressive. We also saw the Bath Cathedral, the Jane Austen Museum (she lived a couple of years in Bath). We also did the internet thing, hence my last blog. Dinner was another take away affair, watched TV, the ... read more

Apparently Oxford and Cambridge have played an annual Aussie Rules match against each other since the 1920s! I umpired the match in Oxford in 2005 and was delighted to be involved again in 2006, which was played in Cambridge. The match was played on the Saturday, followed by a few beers later that night. Sunday was a day for sightseeing before heading back to London. It absolutely persisted down prior to kickoff and it was extremely cold. Thankfully the heavy rain stopped just before the match started. It was a very difficult match to umpire. I was the only field umpire and there were no boundary umpires. So I copped a heap of abuse, especially from the Oxford boys. Still, it was nothing compared to the abuse that is dished up on a weekly basis in ... read more

Well i've moved away from everyone apart from good old mum,and her carer (other half). Here to start saving for the start of my adventures that are to never end. I am here by holding myself to the idea, that until either love of the true kind, or the job of a lifetime takes me. I am to travel round this globe enjoying myself, there is to be plenty of fun and happyness but at the same time good work to suport it all. BRING IT ON!!!!!!... read more
