So here i am, on the otherside of the planet. Its the height of summer, im not upside-down and it isnt exactly swealtering heat every day. Oh by the way, its steal a world wide pagan holiday related season season. Ye know, Mithras day, and the winter solstace and that loose conection between the birth of the lords sun and a magic man replacement of a turkish saint. Which is really different down here, for one theres fuck all chance of snow!
So im here at christmas for my sisters wedding. I havent really thought about it but i am happy for her, and i like her significant other and wish them many happy returns and all that. And the country and holiday are great, i cant really complain about them. The Prison city has been a highlight but im loving Molboro, trams are everywhere, i LOVE trams!
The one thing i have been a bit annoyed with is i have been a bit grumpy and depressed and sometimes manic. But it has passed now and then etc. I have been pretty lonely etc. Sure im with my family etc but its still lonely. Cant help but think of home and different possibilities and failures with girls, and for the moment they're not important but they still hang over my warped psyche. Verryberry, Hope and daisy all coming to mind but i have mainly kept sane;-ish with regards women. But considering the summer heat and the hot people its not exactly easy to forget how miserable not having a partner appears to make me. I may be miserable in general but im a sex obbsessed depressed young man, of course its going to seem semi-important to have a partner. And with my sister getting married and a friend of the family just getting engaged, like a gay man or an olde dear, it actually makes me sad that i have no one. Damn, that sounds bad, i think.... But hopefully when i come out of this at the other end things kick off for at least one of my possibilities. But most likely and most hopefully that possibility is Daisy. She has been in and on my mind and i have high hopes for anything that could happen there.
The Coast Drive:
What a day. Amazing views, warm weather, and less foot room than a flight. The Whole family inlaws to be and all took a trip along the great "ocean" road. We saw loads of great beaches, rain forrests, expensive houses, sang christmas songs off key and had picknicks with gala's and seagul's. We also saw the 12 appostle's, a series of large seastacks along the coast. And a blow hole and its conntecting inlet. There was an interesting legend of a ship that crashed along that coast and A LOT of tourists. Infact my bro-inlaw to be actually ran into the same couple at almost evey single stop. Pretty funny if you think about it, but it is after all a popular route, and beautiful, it was worth it.
The prison city:
Ah 3 or so days there was great. It was amazing. We stayed in an appartment on 35 floor of a residential tower/skyscraper and it was great. The views were fantastic. We could even see the harbour bridge, or at least part of it. We spent a lot of time down at the harbour watching the ferries from the many restaurants or walking aroundthe amazing opera house. And it really is a breath taking building. Its a triumph of engineering and making the docks more than just a transport hub obviously does wonders for the city. Got burnt by the sun there but it was still great. I used the swimming pool in the residential building too which was handy, but i cant really swim so i spent a lot of time in the hottub instead. The food was also amazing there and i have to say i enjoyed it. And with all the hot weather, all the hot people. It was a lot of temptation i have to say. You certainly dont get that kind of parade of people in our fair isle, sure our lassies are attractive also, but so little clothing on a regular basis, it'd never happen! On the last night me and the parentals had a 7 course meal on a luxury resturaunt boat that toured Sydney Harbour and it was just amazing. On a par with the penthouse party after the Prez got his shizzle self into the Honky House. After that we left back for Molboro for the eve of the eve.
Christmas Down Under:
Wow, tis the season to sweat like a mutated pig with added sweat glands and gorge yourself on large christmas-esque diners. The whole sense from my parentals is that they dont have a concrete plan from day to day but we get by. Sydney was great, and we didnt see everything but we also didnt get any shopping in. So basically our main present for ourselves was being here and visiting sydney. But i completly understand it. I dont really care about presents, my 21st is a mother away anyway! I can demand stuff then(Insert Evil laugh) But im fine with it and christmas at the inlaws was great. The children are amazing and other than the diner it was more their day then any of ours. And of course with this holiday, economic crises, more limited income, and of course my dreaded college fee's, its not likely we can afford much anything. I enjoyed it anyway and today we had a more home-like diner ourselves so it was all gravy, so to speak.
Eh... I could rant on further or in more detail about stuff. But i dont really want to moan or be a grumpy olde sod. I mainly just want to talk about my mental health or the greatness of transport in this country, so actually not really anything anyone would like to read about. I will have more in future as the stag and hen nights aproach and of course more wedding gossip and so on...
Tuddles for now peeps.
