The Return To Oz
OK,
Well after what seems like an eternity since I emailed last, here I am again. I arrived back in Australia on 11th August and was severely jet-lagged. I wasn't impressed! The rest of my trip in London was quite laid back, as I knew it would be. Managed to catch up with some pal's - not as many as I would have liked but that wasn’t really the reason for my trip.
So I have to share my jet-lagged-ness with you all. Considering that I didn’t get even remotely affected when I flew from Sydney to London I thought I may have grown out of it…. How stupid am I! So jumped on the plane with 2 sleeping pills to hand ready to be taken. Didn’t manage any sleep on the first leg as I was sitting next to quite possibly the most irritating 2 people on the plane, a fidgety 10 year old boy and his even fidget-ier grandmother. Now really, the question one must ask is how many times do you REALLY need to get up to go to the toilet? Well apparently, between the two of them, it was every half hour. Thought I was going to commit a crime. Luckily I managed to move seats on the second leg and thought I was being clever when I dropped 2 sleeping tablets in unison. Well, I got sleep, about 4hrs which is amazing for me! When I arrived however, I felt refreshed and ready to take on the world, only problem was that it was night and I was meant to be tired and ready for bed. 4 days later, I was still waking up at 2:30am and not being able to get back to sleep. I was not a happy chappy.
It’s been nearly a week now since I got back. In that time, I have celebrated my year anniversary with Billy, (where has time gone?) got no sleep and started up my fitness regime again as I have no excuse to be this unfit when I’m not working!
Just booked in for my visa interview which is in about a week – can’t wait to get it sorted as its been consuming so much time and effort. I think I’m nearly sorted now, got all my paperwork in order and even I’m reasonably impressed with my top notch organization skills!
Weather here is absolutely amazing. Don’t get me wrong, my fingers feel like they are going to fall off but take in to account that it is smack bang in the middle of winter. However what differs from a London winter is this one important factor. The sky is blue. When I say blue, I mean blue, the sun is shining and it hasn’t rained in weeks. The days are around 20 degrees but mornings and nights are cold. These winters I can cope with!
Currently trying to plan some ideas for how to spend the rest of my life – the general sort of thing that I end up doing every now and then. Too many ideas and there is one main conflicting factor, to I just travel or do I try and be sensible? Pretty much the same sort of questions I ask myself and always go for the non-sensible, irresponsible option!
I’ll keep you posted though and start throwing out some ideas for you all to comment on. But in the mean time I’m off to bathe after my sweaty work out!
