We didn't do much over the New Year. Ben had to be at work at 1am on New Years Day, so we watched the Sydney fireworks (from the comfort of the living room) and then Ben was off to work! He didn't get in until 4am that morning, after picking up some gear from a couple of places around the city. Then he was at work New Year Days, just until 12. I went and met him at the Moon and Sixpence English pub and we had a pint of "TEDS". We even called in for a Dominos pizza to have for lunch and sank a few more bottles of Carlton Draught .... a great New Years Day ..... missed my dad's New Years Roast Dinner though !!
Good news is that I started a new Temp role with Drake Recruiment. I went to register with them on monday 3rd and they asked me start at the City Council on the tuesday. Well they asked me for an interview at 8.30am and then asked me to stay !! "Too easy!" It's just helping with the admin for the HR/Payroll Department at the City of Subiaco Council. They said it's for 3 weeks but they're thinking it might be longer now. It's about 10 mins from the city and I have to get 2 trains. I start at 8.15 but finish at 4.20pm. Great, home before rush hour. I am enjoying it and Sarah at Drake seems like she'll look after me with jobs if this one does finish.
Ben's been going on all week about him having to work tonight (friday). Jeff, his boss asked him to keep friday night free cos something might come in. They were all called into a meeting last night and told that Jeff was treating all the staff to a night at the Perth Wildcats Basketball match. Courtside seats ! It's a bit of a thank you for all the work they did over christmas ... very nice ! Ben was looking forward to it, he shouldn't be too much longer. He also came back with an invite to their Post Christmas Party. It's a private chartered boat trip to Rottnest Island for the staff and their "better halfs". Great, cos we were wanting to do that anyways, saves us some money ! It's on the 31st January and there's BBQ and drinks provided. Very nice, something to look forward too.
We're planning to go camping down south the weekend before my birthday. We're going to hire a car, pick it up friday night and drive down south. Camp and then travel back up, dropping the car off on monday. Can't wait to get back to camping ... although we're going to have to borrow Emma's tent cos ours is in the sea somewhere being shipped home. We didn't think we'd need it again ! It should be a busy cos it's Australia Day weekend (26th January), Ben's working that day though because it's a Bank Holiday here.
We haven't really been up to much, we've been for a picnic a couple of times and had our first Golden Gaytime here ..... mmmmm mmmmmm very nice ! We're both off this weekend so we might go swimming ... although we'll keep out of the water .... not sure if you've seen the news recently about the Perth beaches ??????? I've posted a link to the News website ......
Speak soon xxxxx
