So Sydney. That was an experience. And I can honestly say from the heart now that being homeless is very tough going. It still doesn't make me want to give my change to homeless people though because I know for a fact the ones on Fitzroy street have somewhere to stay. They are just drug addicts who have pissed and shooted up their lives.
But yeah being homeless is hard when you technically don't have anywhere to sleep. Me and Kev literally slept wherever we could which included on the steps of the Sydney opera house before kindly being literally kicked by the police off it. And I mean literally kicked; they kicked Kev in the side to wake him up. We were in and out of different 24 hour restaurants and visited subway everyday so we could steal their plug sockets to charge our phones lol.
The fireworks.. Whilst pretty good were nothing in comparison to London's. I have a video which I will upload at some point but for now please enjoy the pics! We went to see the blue mountains which were gorgeous looking. I asked this woman from Plymouth to take a pic of me with the three sisters and the stupid dumb tart put her finger directly over them!! Christ alive that girl was dumb. She had a proper Plymo accent and sounded full on retarded. I wish I had an example of the truely thick things she said but i was so tired on the trip that I barely remembered where I actually was never mind what a country bumpkin knuckle dragger was saying!!
Oo I also went to a wildlife park and fed a load of kangaroos. There was this one kangaroo that was particular greedy so I shouted at him and said "no what about your mates?!".. At which point he stood up on his back legs and actually blocked out the sun. The kanga was MASSIVE!! Like a good 6'4!! I promptly provided him with the rest of the kangaroo food. I then kissed his nose because he was super squishy. I wishes to take him home and play with him all day.
I stroked a koala bear again too. I am full on desperate to hold one so I am going to HAVE to go to Queensland before they ban it there too. It's the only state left in Aus that hasn't banned it.
The hospital was amazing. There was a Russian sounding girl came in looking a little bit ill. She sits down behind us and switches on her laptop. Skype pops up and she's on the phone to someone within minutes. Now.. I missed some of the conversation because I was asleep (for the first time in 56 hours!!) but Kev told me what happened for the bits I missed.. So say all of this in a Russian accent!!...
"hello. I am at the hospital now. I have very bad diarrhoea. I took pills to stop it but they didn't work! So.. I crush the pills and snort them so they go to the brain quicker. That didn't work either so now I have a sore nose and very bad gas"
The whole room erupted in laughter. People actually had to leave because they couldn't stop laughing!! She then in an upset voice went "and now they are laughing at me. They don't understand my pain". Funniest thing ever. There were tears and urine. Even the guy who was throwing up black bile every other minute was laughing!
Going back to work was slightly wank but it was really nice to see Shaun and Mathew, Rodney and Mel again. I had missed them over that week!
In other news, Kev has moved out to go farming!! And I have spent two evenings cleaning the flat up to Sarah Bear clean standards in preparation for Mr Potato!!! That's right y'all.. Mr Greene is coming to live it up in Chez Rowlandez!! It's going to be simply rocking. And I have already packed the fridge with cider in readiness. Yay!!! I do kind of miss Kev but when the house looks this pretty and he's sending me home money, I actually don't miss him at all haha. Sorry Kev.
So.. Slight reflection on my year I think. What a fucking year. I survived hideous swine flu that nearly killed me, I almost jumped in front of a train but Timmy saved me, I was given an interview to start midwifery and gave it all up at the toss of a coin to go travelling, I visited and made friends in 9 different countries, I finally shagged an Irish man so can tick that off the bucket list! I have almost learnt to make pancakes and.. And this is a biggie.. Whilst I might not be the slimmest or the prettiest.. I Miss Rowlands have managed to get myself into a UK size 12 for the first time since 2003. Fuck. Aye.
I am so proud of myself for last years achievements. I worked so very very hard to get over to Australia and if u look at my last years resos, I have achieved one of my biggest dreams and that was to live in Melbourne. And I'm so happy :)
