Auld Lang Syne My Dear?
Hello again you guys, It has been a while since I last wrote but I wanted to have something interesting to tell you about rather than boring you all with an anoying list of things I have done and you haven't, but then I figured what the hell......
Last night was simply amazing, cold beers, 700,000 people in a party mood, 20 tons of explosives lighting up the balmy Sydney sky and adorning the harbour bridge in golden showers (well I had a lot to drink and the toilets were miles away). I saw the fireworks from Mlsons point on the North West side of the bridge and was totally overwhelmed by the sheer scale of the celebrations, by the good humour of the people there and by the efficiency of the organisation. Here is a place that knows how to party! I look with intrest to see how London will answer this challenge, most likely with a transport meltdown, a string of arrests, 10 inches of rain and the sort of fireworks a Chelsea pensioner could sleep through.
So by now you have guessed I am still alive, quite a feat given my frequent dalliances with the grim reaper, and whats more I am having more fun than a puppy with a squeaky toy.
Christmas was spent in Campeltown, meeting a whole new side of my famly for the first time, and trying to work out why they were banished to this side of the globe, and why I have never heard them spoken of in anything but a whisper until now? (I will let you know If I find out).
On saturday I head to Melbourne and then on to Tazmania before heading North to arrive in Brisbane by Feb, then probably back to Sydney to look for the enemy of backpackers everywhere "WORK".
Thats enough for now, I'm off to look for stingers and bluebottles on the beach!
