And we're back....

It's been almost two weeks since I last wrote in the blog. Consider that an unannounced commercial break or something......

I don't think I've been up to much, which is probably why I've not written in the blog, but that's also coupled with spending lots of time at work and having no time to access the internet at home.

So let me think - what's news....
- still no flat
- going to see Sweeney Todd the musical on wednesday (I'm not that keen on musicals....)
- this week the weather has been awful, it rained so much on Monday that the dams in the NSW areas have filled up by 3% which is equal to 8 weeks water supply for Sydney.
- I need a haircut and unsurprisingly, I am considering changing my hair colour again. (
Deja vu?)
- I think I have discovered here that they've not heard of flexible working, because seriously, the rush hour is ridiculous. Everyone leaves their office at the same time and tries to get on the same train.
- I have also discovered that there's no such thing as chilled 'ready-meals' - which strikes me as a little odd given how popular they are at home. They have frozen, but not chilled. And they don't sell alcohol in the supermarkets either - which is a bit odd. You'd have thought with the number of brits over here looking for a slice of home that M&S would have opened a store selling food - but apparently not. (I mean they've even got M&S in Hong Kong and Singapore, so what's the big deal?)

So there you go.

In other news I've been in Sydney now for nearly two months with only a quick trip to Melbourne at the end of January. If I don't find anything to do in the next couple of weeks this will be the first month since November when I haven't taken a flight and to be honest, it feels a little odd. I feel like I should be planning a trip somewhere.... hey listen to me, the girl who hates flying.....
