Well, the days are certainly whizzing by. I can barely believe that it is March already. I am going to have to think about getting an Auzzie drivers licence sorted, your NZ one is only good for 3 months from date of entry. At the end of the day there is no way the cops are easily going to be able to tell how long you have actually been in the country, so at the end of the day it probably isn't too big of a deal.
Pretty reasonable sort of day here, a little humid again because of the torrential rain we experienced last night. Luckily the frogs have refrained from coming back. I'll attach a pic of one if I remember.
Signed yet more paperwork for the new place today, they certainly make you jump through a few hoops. Did I ever mention nothing is straightforward over here?
Got a phone call from the guy who's house it is today too...
Me: "Hello"
Him: "Hello... good day?"
Me: "Yea not bad, you?"
Him: "Yea good... you remember that I told you there was a 2 seater and a 3 seater couch going into that new place?"
Me: "Yes"
Him: "Well, now there's only a 3 seater..."
Me: "Oh, righto..."
Him: "You see, when we left my place I asked old mate if he thought we should tie them on, and we decided they would be ok..."
Me: "Carry on..."
Him: "Well, they were ok. Until we got to 110kmph coming down the main highway..."
Me: "Go on..."
Him: "Well we heard a rustle and a bang, and turned around to see the couch bouncing down the road... long story short, we took that one to the tip"
Me: "Brilliant."
My day was a bit like that all over really... I was sent down to the marina to have a look at a satellite phone. The instructions I was given was look for a green trawler on the concrete wharf.
As my good friend Tony would say... "Those instructions were totally 100% perfect! Apart from the fact the boat was actually blue... and the wharf was made of wood. Other than that, spot on!"
Such is life in the continent that is Australia.
That's it for now.
