Helllllooooooooooo!

Well it's coming up to 2 months since I arrived back in my home town of Adelaide. I realise it has been about that long since I blogged too. I guess I've just been having too much fun... :P
When I arrived back, the immediate sensation I felt was that I had simply arrived in a new place, a new part of my trip. I guess that thought or feeling has never quite worn off. I'm seeing the world, including my home, from quite a different perspective now. It's funny how it sometimes takes a break from something to fully realise its true colours.. I suppose that's true of a lot of things!
Anyways, so in the mean time there have been parties, get-togethers, birthdays, gigs.. all involving drinking! There's also been quite a bit of working at Telstra and marking maths papers for Adelaide Uni, saving my monies, planning the next expedition with my sister through Asia and onto Europe, and teaching myself French getting ready for next year. The latest addition to that long, exciting list is that I am now starting to get back into singing and writing music.. Definitely looking forward to getting things moving on that front, it's been about 2 years since I was last in a band and I've been craving it ever since..
In other news: Some of my closest mates Ryan, Kate, Jubby and his girlfriend Sarah left yesterday on their own OE to Europe. Typical. I just get back and they piss off.. Seriously though guys, you will have a wicked time! Make the most of it while you're there! And photos... Lots of photos!
Seeing friends and family has definitely been one of the highlights of being back in Oz.. Although having my own bed and not having to live out of a backpack is certainly up there too! I'm sure a lot of my fellow travellers will agree with me there..


So it's yet another Friday evening, another working week over, and I'm looking forward to the (way too short) weekend festivities!

Well that's just a short synopsis of my past 2 months back in Australia.. Hope y'all are living, and more importantly, enjoying life to the fullest wherever you are in the world!!

Peace and Love
