Hi,

First I will start off by saying sorry that it has taken me so long to update this again. However in my defence I haven't really had anything too exciting to share and we have been working very hard. (and watching important TV)

Ok so between Tyson and I we have pretty much watched 3 seasons of Scrubs and Friends (quality programs) during our time off apart. See we mostly have seperate shifts. Tyson will work day and me night or vice versa. So.... Once you've worked all day you don't really feel like heading out anywhere. Or after working late it's good to sleep in and then half the day is gone and there is no time to go anywhere. (I guess the second reason for staying in is just really laziness, but you get the picutre.

So we have almost mastered the art of pouring a pint.(it's sometimes harder than it looks) Today I finally learnt how to froth milk properly to make cappachino's. (That is definitely harder than it looks). And that's all I really have to say about work. It's good but not too exciting...

I did get out the other day

Well sort of..... (he uploaded the photo's last time and missed this one out. I'm sure it was by accident.)
and went somewhere other than Redhill. I went the other way on the bus to Oxted. A much prettier place to visit. I didn't really spend too much time there. (oops I slept in and missed the earlier bus) but it was interesting. Sorry no photo's but I will go back when I get a chance and take some snaps to show.

Oh... I also went over the road and had a look at the Church. It's a very old building and very pretty both inside and out. I walked all around before going in. It was so quite and peaceful inside. Although as a walked around there was a creaking noise and camera's sprang into action and filmed my every move. Shame really that churches need to have survelliance.

Speaking of crime. Something exciting did happen at work the other day/night. We had closeed up and Tyson and I were just starting to go to sleep at about 12/12.30 when we heard a bottle smash outside. We looked out the window and heard people downstairs but assumed that they had tried to see if we were open and then smashed a bottle on the ground. BUT.... Next

Apparently parts of it were built in around 1090. but there have been additions and updates since then.
morning we found out that someone had thrown a bottle through the window of the reasaurant. (what a fun way to spend a Tuesday night). Some law enforcing people apparently had a look at it and the curch had some camera set up that may have filmed them but so far nothing else has come of it. And it's not likely that anything will. (Very exciting, and the talk of the town - for a few minutes)

Oh also just so that I may gain some sympathy...... On one of our busier night a week and a bit ago. I managed to do myself and injury. Not too serious but it hurt like hell at the time. I dropped a 3/4 full bottle of the house white wine on my left big toe. (OUCH!!!) I was sure that there would be instant blood. But a quick check in the bathroom showed no blood however a definitely swollen toe. I didn't have time to winge, or ice it or even stop so limped around on it for the rest of the night. Same limping the next day with the now added pain of a sore leg from walking retarded. Anyways it is now feeling much better. Not looking so good though with the toenail slowly turning black. (sexy!!!)

Ok so that's really all the half interesting news that I can come up with for now.

I will definitely try to update this again soon. (should be easier. We/Tyson has just bought a laptop and we have free internet at the pub)

Anyways until next time.

Bye bye now.

On one of the sunny days I sat at the park to read a book. Pretty nice actually. I think they also play soccer here during the week. There are tennis courts and a playground to. Very nice

Yay
An update, thank God! I thought those nasty Poms might have forced you into bondage and made to become sex slaves. Oh sorry, you're not in Germany yet. How's it going over there, fun it seems like. It's hot here and there are sharks on the Gold Coast...na na, na na. (that was sposed to be Jaws theme music). Pull a beer...or two...or 48 for me now would you both? Rick
