A long awaited update part two!

Wassup peepholes?

Hope you enjoyed reading the first half of the update, now its time to catch up to the almost present day!

After a much awaited move to big but relaxed city life we made our way to Brisbane and Lindsay's old flat, now occupied by Lindsay's magical fantastical sister Rachel, after a tolerant couple of weeks on Rachel's behalf we finally, after much searching, found ourselves a nice little 2 bedroom place in Bowen Hills, a hefty trek to the summit of a huge hill and then back down a part of it but the river view and scenery are fantastic and worth the hard work although personally I think the place was sold to Lindsay due to the shiny wooden floor and the sexy oven but she won't admit it.

After applying and gaining access to the property we ventured back to Pallamallawa (try saying that drunk) for a hefty trailer to fill with Lindsay's belongings, all fun and games and minor grievances aside as well as a bit of chuckle brothers 'To me, to you' comedy moments that were wasted on the unknowing Aussies, we managed to tuck all the stuff in and drive back the 5 or 600 kms back to Brisbane in a very nervous and tired fashion park up and after an almost disaster of a runaway trailer incident when we uncoupled the thing on a rather sloped street and I panicked for a short while we managed to unpack and settle into our domicile and chill on the balcony with a beer or 5.

As many of you will know My Nan died just after I got back to the UK, after a lengthy battle with colon cancer and the effects of its aftermath so I felt it was needed to go see my Grandad and Auntie Carol down in Adelaide for a few days, It was good to catch up and hear some stories and have a few beers and tears, It was kind of a strange feeling at first seeing all my Nans things and pictures but remembering her and her sense of humour was fun, I think she would have especially liked to have been on the houseboat with the family and gone on the 'long toothed guinea pig' hunt with my cousin and Grandad.

My Grandad had conviced my cousin James that he had eaten 'long toothed guinea pig' at a bbq for his birthday and he liked it so much that when they went on a house boat my Grandad kept up the pretence and promised they would hunt for them. So they set out early one morning when they are sleeping so as to catch them unawares with trouser legs rolled up so they dont scurry up your pants, helmets, or in this case Leprachaun hats from St Patricks day in case they fall out of the trees where they live and a handful of crackers and an air horn to scare them out of the trees and catch them, from what I hear they went hunting a multitude of times and came back with nothing to James' dismay (not knowing they don't exist) but I can imagine my little cousin getting right into it, as well as my Grandad acting like a big kid himself, its just a shame that there weren't any Kangorillapigs around either.

And thats it so far, I finally got enrolled and started at Mackintosh College on Palm Beach doing Hospitality Management and Commercial Cookery Diplomas so I'll be a fully qualified Gordon Ramsey wannabe with alot more swearing in 2 years, I wanted to do Electromechanical Engineering and Refrigeration but I couldn't get an apprenticeship the bastards so I figured I'd get a piece of paper to cover the last 10 years of my lifes work and finally get some recognition.

I'd like to thank the Hyles family for helping make all this possible, Especially Lindsay, Rachel and Possum for being fantasticaly brilliant and helpful over the past few months, I'd also like to thank Micheal Bay for not screwing up Transformers too much and making me feel 10 years old again, heheh! IT ROCKS!!

And thats me for now, Hopefully my next update will have a few piccies if I can get this damn laptop to recognise the Digicam.

See y'all later.
