It's been a few days since I've posted anything, I've been busy working. I had two straight 12+ hour days the latter one ending around the time of the colourful sunset.
I'm making decent money and the job is not too bad, I don't think that I will work here for too long, but atleast through the end of 2008, hopefully get a different job in the new year when more places are hiring.
Christmas is bearing down on us here and we're noticing the differences. The lack of snow really makes it easy to forget that christmas is coming. They even have a different jingle bells here:
Dashing through the bush,
in a rusty Holden Ute,
Kicking up the dust,
esky in the boot,
Kelpie by my side,
singing Christmas songs,
It's Summer time and I am in
my singlet, shorts and thongs
Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,
Christmas in Australia on a scorching summers day, Hey!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Christmas time is beaut !,
Oh what fun it is to ride in a rusty Holden Ute.
Engine's getting hot;
we dodge the kangaroos,
The swaggie climbs aboard,
he is welcome too.
All the family's there,
sitting by the pool,
Christmas Day the Aussie way,
by the barbecue.
Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,
Christmas in Australia on a scorching summers day, Hey!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Christmas time is beaut!,
Oh what fun it is to ride in a rusty Holden Ute.
Come the afternoon,
Grandpa has a doze,
The kids and Uncle Bruce,
are swimming in their clothes.
The time comes 'round to go,
we take the family snap,
Pack the car and all shoot through,
before the washing up.
Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,
Christmas in Australia on a scorching summers day, Hey!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Christmas time is beaut!,
Oh what fun it is to ride in a rusty Holden Ute.
A ute for those that don't know is a truck/car combination sort of like an old el camino. They are everywhere down here.
It's the weekend now, relaxing, unfortunately the rain is making doing much outside less fun, but the weather should be getting better soon. Missing the snow though, no skiing or snowboarding for me this christmas, I'll just have to ride waves instead.
No waiting on chairlifts for me.

ReplyDeleteamy.. don't forget to call Ufang and his family when you are in Melbourne. I made some cookies and then ate half...ugh. I have to be more patient or there won't be any for christmas.
It is dull and wet around freezing. I am off for a well deserved facial. I found a bringing recipe for turkey in a Nigella recipe book. We cook it for Friday dinner for the stuart family.
Jaspar is still well but wishing you were here. They are so funny with Cayleigh. Bailey hides and Jaspar tolerates!!! see ya Love dor
