Flaming Galahs! (Im going to need some help thinking up some more neighbourisms here people!)

I just realised, I havent updated this in bloody ages!

Last week, on the Saturday, I met two great people from the hostel...had quite a lazy day, but did go and see the penguins...erm. Well. Having a bit of an orgy actually. Its thier mating season. That was something special...easily the best sight so far in Australia (In fact, sod it. I may as well come home now, Ive seen everything I need). They were only little penguins. But theyre awesome...and they DO sound a bit like pingu, so i was very impressed with that.

That was cool. Then in the evening, I went out with some of the people from my last hostel, who are travelling up the East coast. We started off in a strip club (quite a nice strip club. Better so because it was free), because one of the girls who was leaving worked there, and wanted to say goodbye to her mates there (SHHHCCCCAAAWIIING! JACKPOT!), then we went off to a bar that played Soul and 60's RnB. Tres cool. Then We ended up going back to the hostel, watching Finding Nemo (Yes. I AM 10 years old, thank you!), then I crashed out there for the night..

The next morning I went down to Victoria Markets to get some cheap meat and veg for the week (Seriously, that place is awesome. they practically GIVE stuff away) then we went and had a BBQ with Paul Welland and Phoebe (his Girlfriend) and their mates.

It was quite funny. We were all shopping in the market, and Phobe was like 'can you get some sausages and patties (thats burgers) for the barbie?' to which paul, the happy, go lucky, eager to please boyfriend goes 'sure honey!' and runs off. So me and Phoebe finish our breakfasts, Paul comes back with a bit of a sheepish look on his face'

Pa: 'erm. I MAY have made an impulse buy.'
Ph: What have you done? You havent overspent have you?
Pa: Erm. Not exactly. I just might have brought $30 of steak. But i had do. It was for a tray full. And there were these other men looking at it, and i just had to go for it! It'll keep!

Paul, the legend, had only found 30lbs of Prime Rumpsteak for nothing. I mean, these steaks were each 2-3" thick, and the size of a bbq. They were amazing! So we ate some of them on the bbq. And some sasuages. And (for woody) NO couscous. :( But nothings perfect.

Then we finished off the beers and watched some footy in the afternoon with his mates, then just chilled out, and went back.

This week has been a bit less interesting. Ive been in bed with the man-flu. Monday i didnt feel great, Tuesday I felt awful. I basically spent the entire day in bed. Yesterday, I felt equally awful, but thought 'i NEED to sort this out!'

So i ordered myself a Chilli Con Carne Pizza (Yes. It IS as awesome as it sounds. Massively unhealthy, but soooooo nice! 3 types of meat, Capsicoms (thats peppers to you guys!), JAlapenos, and 6 different types of grease...laaaaverly!. Then i washed it down with some free mulled wine (Gorgeous! It was a winterwonderland night yesterday, which was good), and some fruitcake, and went to bed at 9pm.

When I woke up at 6am I felt like a new man. Ive got a Cough, and a bit of a runny nose, but my flu has been cured. So that makes it 1-0 to my alternative medicine diet. (Booze and pizza). Oh, and I cooked myself quite possibly the nicest shepherds pie on monday. It was awesome. So apart from being declared clinically dead from tues onwards, its been a pretty good week!

Ill keep you posted!
