well people whilst all my friends at home were out on the piss i was having a quiet weekend. saturday we went and registered for medicare, its the oz equivilant to the nhs, it still costs to see the doctor (which i found out last week!) $40-$50 and then $22 on top for my antibiotics but you can claim some of it back. then we did our weekly shop, no running to asda on a sunday night when its quiet for us now, everything is shut on a sunday apart from bunnings (B&Q) and the markets. the markets sell mostly fruit and veg, chinese people here are like pakistanis in the UK!!! they are bloody everywhere!!!! i bought a new top and came home to get ready for my night out, however, at 7pm nat phoned from her sick bed, she had been throwing up all day and had only just woke up! so off to the bottle shop we went!!! two bottles of red wine and a couple of tequilla shots later!!!! on sunday we did a trial run from home to my work to michaels work. we did it so we could see if there was any reason why michael couldnt drop me off in the morning to save me a train ride and a 15 min walk to work. alas no, it takes 13 minutes from here to work in the car and 15 minutes from here to michaels but when put together it doesnt work. it takes 25 minutes from my work to michaels. in order for him to drop me off i would have to be at work 25 minutes early. now i know i said i like my job but not that much. so its a lift to the station and then the train and the dreaded 15 min up hill walk. now when on a late shift starting at 1pm its not a problem but at 6.40am its a killer. my leg muscles burn like buggery, this morning i almost thought f*** it i'm gonna be late cos my legs wouldnt go any faster. i made it just!!!!
we then hit bunnings with a passion, we bought plants, flowers and a lime and a orange tree!!! we spent the rest of the day potting and planting. we reseeded the grass as there are a couple of baldy patches and put down plenty of snail, slug and lawn beetle killer!!!!! i will rid my garden of these slimy creatures!!!!! i am very proud of my new garden, lets just hope that the flowers and trees grow!!!!! its my first attempt so i am not pinning my hopes on it!!!! i will take pics of the flowers and trees when it stops raining!!!!
so there you go folks that was my weekend would you believe it!!??? if it hadnt happened to me then i wouldnt!!!!! i still feel like i have missed out on something tho!! have had at least three messages from friends at home about their weekend and i am sooooooooooooooooo jealous!!!!! and to top it all celtic beat the dons!!!!! 1-0!!!! and we would have gone top!!!!!!

dave? we would have looked after you?? i think it would have been the blind (drunk) leading the blind (drunk)!!! still i am very jealous!!! i think thats the biggest thing after my friends and family i miss most of all. the night life in aberdeen, there is plenty here but its just not the same!!!! my chummy was oot on sat too but i havent had any word from her! hope she had a good time too, seems like she doesnt get out much now either!!! bet she didnt spend sunday bloody gardening!!!! i dont make friends easily and have always had the safety net of others when at home, here i am out there on my own!!!! i dont let people in that easily!, suppose it will get better with time, nat must be so fed up with me by now, i am like a clingon!!!! the girls at work are really nice but they dont seem to socialise much out of work. we live all spread out over the suburbs, they did go for breakfast on sunday but i expected to be still drunk at 9am so didnt organise to go. i didnt have anyones phone number and didnt pay much attention to where they were going!!!! hope the bairn doesnt get too disillusioned with school once hes started for real!!!! miss you guys heaps, can you not persuade julie to let you come out before your 50th!!!
