Kiwi in the oz

Where to begin! what a week its been…and its only tuesday! fingers crossed the rest of week continues nicely.

Firstly, Didn’t get the job at the bookstore, I missed out because of one other lady who had more experience at being in a managerial role. Nevermind though, she’s keeping my resume on hand and will give me a call if anything else comes up. I also got a letter from the council saying that my application I submitted when I first got here was unsuccessful. To be honest I haven’t heard from them in about 2 months so its no big surprise, I figured I hadn’t gotten the job. Then again it did take 11 days for the letter to make its way to me lol (and I thought the american postal service was bad, this is in a major city! not a rural area).

I applied to a handful of places last night, and i’ll send out more resumes later today and see what response I get.

Not much on the cards today besides reading, applying for jobs, doing housework. Such is life huh? I’m not sure what we’ll have for dinner tonight, maybe corned silverside or sausages…. tough choices!

Random fact for my American friends reading this – “Burger King” is called “Hungry Jacks” over here, and boy is it good. We stopped in there for a treat the other day (first time in about 3 weeks having junk food), and I was really impressed. The burger wasn’t greasy, it didn’t leave me with a sick feeling in my stomach, the fries were good – not dripping with grease either. I think I found my replacement for Hardee’s! granted the burger sizes are smaller than Hardee’s, but lets face it – I had trouble finishing a Hardee’s burger, even the smaller ones.

Dad and Patrick are doing well, as is Jasper (he’s all pretty and clean thanks to the wonderful dog groomer). In fact Jasper’s curled up next to me, he follows me all over the house – if I leave a room, he’s right there behind me. Its cute! Its weird having a dog around, when i’ve been surrounded by cats for a long time, but its nice. He’s such a sweetheart, and while he’s not a young puppy and not as active as he might’ve once been, he has this cheeky side to him that I can’t help but adore. He has a favourite friend now – a stuffed crocodile toy, he loves chewing it and playing tug of war with it.

Well I should get going, Its time to have breakfast and get the washing going,

take care guys xoxox
