Shblog again…

Hi All,

Yes it has been a while. So what have I been doing with my time, well mostly trying to settle into Australia and figure out this way of life. So I have been busy, trying to figure out the drinking culture and how to get the most cheap pints and the like.

You are also wondering what is the comic stip! Well we have decided to put together a comic called the little leprechauns. We all designed our own charcter under the great tutilage of Jonny Keane. I still have to finish mine and figure how to put a beard on a comic character but its fun to learn. This will be a updated hopefully once a week with the interestings stories of little jonny, little brian, little ian and little joe. I hope you like it and please give us lots of feed back. 

So I have been a few places lately, I stared in Melbourne and we got started there and landed ourselves an apartement with Norman, our long haired landlord. It was an interesting place and remided me a lot of my fantastic apartement on Adelaide Rd. So we all setteled in and got to the serious work of discovering the night life of melboure and I cooked again which was nice.

I got talking to Suzie and Erica and they were off in the lovely Perth and I decided on a whim to go across with Brian. So we flew across. Now the thing with Virgin Blue airline is that they are lovely and cheap but the flights are nearly always at terrible hours, for example this flight was at 6:00am. Had a great few days in Perth with a few funny moments as well.

So off we after myself and Brian came back from Perth plans changed and we were off to Sydney. There was much discussion over the mode of transport to be taken and it was finally decided that hiring a car would be the best option. So off we went to the people in EuroCar and got ourselfs a beaut of a car the Subaru Outback. It was was a easy trip 1000km in two days with Brian, Ian and Jonny driving. Without a drivers licence I could not drive but it was a blessing sitting in the back watching DVDs on laptops and catching up on my sleep.

 

After only one week myself and Jonny were back to Melbourne for the Melbourne Cup. This is a huge event with the main day of the Cup hosting 120,000 people. It was a brilliant day and I got to meet up with my sister Anne. Jonny and I were staying with Frankie and Yolinda. So off we went to the cup.

Jetsetting again back up to Sydney. We went looking gun hoe for apartement and job and after 3 short weeks of looking hard and the odd bit of divilment here and there we finally found work and a house. We are living in a beautiful place with wooden floors and oh yea a room to myself ( first time in 7 months). Myself, Ian and Brian are working for the lovely people at Ericcson ( I should really make sure how to spell the name of the company) and Jonny is working for Commonwealth Bank. All doing well.

Talk to you soon Joe
