Two weeks have flown by already! Im feeling pretty settled so far, working at the pub is going really well. The pub is run by a bigger company that owns a lot of bars around Australia and it is based on an old English pub, its funny seeing the thigs they put in the place that is so obviously not 200 yrs old like old saddles, fake looking paint jobs on the walls and empty bottles everywhere! The people I work with are really great fun, everyone gets on great Ive got a good boss, fair but fun!
We had a huge night on wednesday, in fact this week has been pretty full on all week doing 10 hr days, the state of origin's first match was on this is when they put together a 'dream team' made up from all the best players from each state and then play each other. The pub was packed, Australians are very into their sport! You should have seen how crazy they went! It was fun to watch, everyone was out supporting their teams and there was a real sense of national pride.
Ive started going to Bikram Yoga classes. Its a relativly new style of Yoga, a series of 26 postures put together by a guy called Bikram that focus on working every different body part and the different body systems. The main factor is that you perform these moves in a 40oC room and it takes 90 minutes of sweating your arse off! I love it and am already feeling the benefits. The sweating helps clense the body and the movements are all very demanding but the mental stimulation and detemination to do it better next time keeps you going back.
We are saying good bye to two housemates this weekend so its a big night out tonight, so far I havent seen much but there seems to be a variety of all sorts of places to go out and party!
Down with Tracy this weekend on the anniversary of our move to Devon, 10 years, how ironic is that? Going to have a girlie weekend - so won't remember 'til Monday morning (joking of course!!!). Off to the Blenheim craft fair today, so hope it doesn't rain! Have fun. Has the card arrived? Love Mum (& Tracy) Xxxxxxx
