Got my Wheels!

After my last post, I had another week of Solid Busking, and finally got my car paid off, before realising that the Roadworthy certificate (I needed to get the car put onto WA plates) ran out a week later, so I needed to do even MORE busking, but finally, as of monday, I got the bloody thing on the road.

As a celebration of not actually having to sing every spare hour of the evening (6-9pm weekdays), then I ended up meeting up with Gary, a mate from melbourne, who has moved to the outskirts of perth, with my other mate Christo (who also knew him / me from melbourne originally). Then me and Christo ended up driving to Scarborough beach, because it was 32c (yes!), for a dip in the ocean.

Scarborough beach is really cool, but I did, FINALLY, after all I threw at it, break my phone. In true me fashion, I was holding my Flip Flops in one hand, then thought, hang on, I dont want my phone getting wet, so I took it out of my back pocket, and held it with my flip flops while I was walking down the beach..

..THEN I thought, 'hey! Im going to use this bit of string to tie my keys onto, because I can!'. Tied my keys on, then like a dawning sun, my stupidity was illuminated, as I realised that Id bloody dropped my phone in the ocean about 10 yards back to tie my keys. What a tit! :)

Apart from that ive been getting a few things sorted on my car (as well as shed loads of parking tickets) so I can begin my roadtrip. Im going to go down south, around margaret river, then along to esperance. I also want to have a look at the Timber County, where they loads of huge forests, etc. Its going to be cool. Then after that, ive got a Gig at The Indi bar, Scarborough, on the 17th November, so ill be back for that, probably smash another weekend busking in Freo, then thats it. Haul my Ass up the West Coast to Broome, then darwin. Its gonna be good! (But bloody hot!)

Anyways, thats my plan!
