Friday 24th

Heya people.
I'm sorry for lack of update, I've been unable to get online in a while.
Ok, the last three days I managed to find work, I was taking down and putting up a fence. Hard work but good fun, I was using power tools. Three days use of circular saws and nail guns, and no injuries! Man, that surprised me, and it feels good.
So I can pay for another week. And the money from home arrived, so I'll go to the airport tomorrow and pay for the flight change.
I have to get out of here. And luckily, a friend from the hostel has given me a number of a farm that I could be going to, in Cairns. If I get work there, I'll be so happy... A change of scene, a chance to save up money... I see no downsides there. Plus I'll have a country to live in for another year if I work hard enough, and there is work available. Banana picking. I like bananas.
I still haven't been drunk since the last time I got wasted, it must have been a month now, probably more. I don't feel the need to anymore. I don't actually want to - I'm surrounded by people who pull out the box wine, for no reason. I don't want that.
So yeah. I'm selling some stuff, I'm trying to get a backpack. I found a cable for the camera too, so I might be able to take pics and put them on here.
I hear your country is warming up now, eh? Ha, over here it's still warm in the day, but it gets dark about 5.30, and last night it got so cold I had to put a coat and jacket over myself while sleeping. Was lovely.
I'm still ill! This cold won't go, I still have a cough... And the second day of this fence work, I had that recurring problem, my stomach/belly area was excruciating. It was so bad this time that I stumbled to the nearest shop at four thirty in the morning, and spent $2o on painkillers. I thought it might have been bad indigestion, but after taking the right stuff it didn't go. So I managed to get to work, throwing up on the way there, when I got there. It wasn't fun, but I was ok once I started working, and I got a day's pay, which I needed.
Not fun.
I hope you guys are all ok? Working hard, staying healthy?
Not sure what else to say really. Still miss most of you. Haha, I'm kidding, I miss you all. Trying to stay on top of birthdays, if people don't get theirs then just wait a few days, it should get there.
Right, gonna head off. Spaghetti, tomato sauce and sausage meatballs are waiting to be made.

Heya everyone.
Today is Thursday 29. I've been at work, and then I watched "Twilight", the new film about vampires. I'm guessing it's been around in England for a while now, but nevertheless, if you haven't seen it, I think you should. It's a good film. Lots of emotions.
I bought a bottle of rum the other day, Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum. It's nearly gone now, but I hope it'll last a few nights longer.
Not much to report on really. Same as always. Basically, in a nutshell:
Always looking for work, therefore money,
Working as much as possible,
Trying to pay for rent.
I'm working at David Jones, a huge supermarket. And in my hour long lunchbreaks, I've developed a habit. I go up to the foodcourt, get a cheap sandwich to takeaway, go down to the bookshop and then sit and read "Splinter Cell". It's a book by Tom Clancy, about Sam Fisher, a man who few of you will recognize. The few who do, should read these books: they're pretty good, the description is a bit weak, but the action sequences are very detailed, and it feels like you're watching the actions take place on a big screen.
Enough said really. Speak soon, not much to say. Miss a lot of you, loads.
Tom
