Working Week

It's been another quiet one.

Apparently it's been getting hot back home, and being on the other side of the world means that the opposite is happening here. Don't get me wrong I'm still able to go out in shorts and a t-shirt, so I'm not complaining by any means.

As I say it's been another quiet one this week, mainly down to trying to adapt my body clock to allow me to wake up at 7:30 everyday without feeling like death. Work is tough and I'm struggling to keep motivation all day when I'm out in the middle of nowhere but the people are awesome which makes it worth it.

I'm starting to know how the Proclaimers must have felt after walking 500 miles after this week - my poor legs don't even know what it's like to sit down any more after walking around all day everyday, but it gives me chance to walk off all of the McDonald's I suppose so it's not all bad.

The people though really do make it worth it. Thursday night was team night and consisted of a night of beer and dumplings (paid for by the boss, lovely) and Friday pub night turned into a reasonably heavy session in the town of Melbourne and so this week does have some positives and hasn't stopped me loving Melbourne by any means.

Despite plans to hire bikes and go to China Town on Saturday we had all been out the night before and after realising that Harry Potter was on the TV that night we decided to have a much needed quiet one.

After a ridiculous amount of ridicule from the guys about my unhealthy diet I agreed (it didn't take much persuasion) to let them cook me a meal which meant that my night consisted of a steak, jacket potato, cheese and baked beans followed by a stupid amount of snacks and sweets in front of Monsters Inc and Harry Potter - I am 18 believe it or not.... and I loved it.

Sunday was Future Music Festival - one of my best days in Oz so far. Despite spending 2 hours on dodgy WiFi trying to find a ticket I finally managed to get online and sort it out and a day of (responsible) drinking and music commenced in the 25 degree heat. Amidst the odd foam party and food we saw the likes of Example, Aviici and Sigma (I expect none of you to know what I'm talking about here!).

This brings me to Labour day - yet another national holiday - meaning I get a day off to watch England play a must win game in the World Cup later... We'll see...
