Perth!

And other daily happenings...

So unless you have been living under a rock, which knowing some of you it may be a possibility, Sara has arrived in Sydney! She has been in Australia for over 2 weeks now and I am loving every minute of it. We had a brilliant Valentines Day and a great trip to Perth. Having had the opportunity to meet all Sara's family and friends over Christmas and New Year (and thoroughly enjoying it) I thought it was time for her to do the same. I was a little worried that it might scare her off but she was going to meet them at some point in the future so why not now? It was great showing Sara around the city I grew up in. Perth really is a fantastic place, there isn't much to do and I ran out of ideas of things to do 2 days into the trip but still, I love it. Sara got her first taste of cricket and Australian basketball which I think she enjoyed. I had a great time introducing her to everyone and I hope everyone that met her enjoyed getting to know her.

So on my last day in Perth it was agreed by everyone (except me) that I needed a haircut. So during an unusually weak moment I bowed to peer pressure (I'm not proud of myself) and went and got it chopped. It was an interesting experience. First the hairdresser said my hair was too thin, but I had too much of it. Then he said I have lots of moles, then he told me I have a massive bump on my head that makes it hard to style my hair. Well needless to say this did not help me overcome my need to stay out of hairdressing salons. So next time you see me expect my hair to be down past my shoulders, possibly tied in a pony tail.

Sara celebrated her birthday yesterday! We went into the city and then got the ferry out to Manly. We got rained on and spent a lot of time on stake out outside a church. The day ended well when we went into Baker's Delight for 2 chocolate hot cross buns and left we so much free stuff as they were closing the store and wanted to get rid off it. It was nice to spend a birthday together, in fact it was nice to spend most of Sara Normand month (February) together. I look forward to spending the rest of our birthdays together, hopefully with a little more spending money than this one, but we still had a great time!

This week my focus will be on regrowing my hair and the continuing search for a job. I do have a job but I don't really wont it long term and I'm not sure I will get consistent hours. Hopefully one of these days I will get a full time job, it really would make everything so much easier. As for Sara, it is her first day of uni today! I hope she enjoys her classes. So I wish her good luck and for everyone else returning to uni this week I hope it all goes well!

Happy Sara Normand month to everyone and Happy Birthday (American time) to Sara!!!
