Sydney...Work

Its been a while since my last blog and for once its not because i've been doing nothing. I have been so busy that I've been working non-stop. Its 11pm and i've just finished writing a draft of a presentation I have to do at work. Its crap but i really dont care any more. I thought i'd squeeze out a quick blog update before I head to bed anyway. Im very tired so excuse any spelling mistakes/general shit that I say.

I went to Sydney for the weekend and had a surprisingly good time. The weather was so good, comparable to a mild (but sunny) British Summer....and it's their winter!!!!! Somehow we were offered to stay at a random family's house right on the beach. It was the house of my friend's brother's girlfriend's parent's. That probably doesn't make sense but basically none of us had ever met before yet they were willing to let us stay at their house over the weekend. The house was amazing - right on the beach (literally backing onto it) and I had my own double bed with ensuite. They also cooked for us, bought all the food, bought us takeway on the following night and treated us to a restaurant meal by the beach on the following lunchtime. I couldn't believe how friendly and generous they were (it helped that they were absolutely loaded). Sydney is an amazing city too...im affraid to say a little better than Melbourne!

It was so difficult to go back to work on Monday. Especially with the work load they are giving me. I officially have my own case load of patients to review and follow up and i'm getting new referrals every day. I'm thinking of putting in a request to actually get paid for all the bloody work im doing.

Next weekend looks like a write off too in terms of catching up on paper work. We are finally going to rent a car and do the Great Ocean Road. Which also means I get to drive for the first time in Australia. I'm looking forward to driving for hours without seeing anything by the occasional wallabie (which i'll try to dodge).
