Well, 3 weeks in and still having a whale of a time! The weather has really picked up so spent quite a lot of last week on various beaches, loving the ferry ride to manly, but the sand on Bondi is so much better - blimey, what tough decisions I have to make!
Highlight of week 2 was spending a couple of days with Rob (friend from Uni), who as a surprise had organised for us to go on a seaplane. It was truly amazing, we headed to Rose Bay to catch the plane, it was a tiny little thing, that seated only 4 and was on ski's so it could take off and land from the water. We hopped on with a couple of weirdo's, a loving couple, that didn't really want to be sharing the plane with anybody (at least she didn't, the boyfriend was quite ok with us.) We then took off and flew out around the coast and ove rthe national park, we than landed in a beautiful secluded river in the middle of a valley in the national park, hopped of onto a jetty and went into the most stunning restuarant. It was the only thing in the valley and all you could see around you was the river and the trees on the opposite bank of the valley. The view, the journey and the restuarant, were simply stunning and will definately take some beating. It was a perfect surprise organised by Rob.

Usual Razzle has been happening, On Fri, met jac from work, ended up plastered and inviting ourselves round to the neighbours again at midnight, for further drinks! then on Sun, Jac and I went over to Manly beach for a bit of a relax, had the best tea (a steak thing that came to the table on a massive swinging skewer thing - sounds odd, but will have to go back to get a pic - it was ace!), somehow consumed 3 bottles of wine and missed the ferry home - it was fun tho!!!

On Monday, I went to meet with the recruitment consultant about my job situation, she was really postitive, said they'd have no trouble placing me and how soon did I want to start work! They've said my salary expectations are fine and we're pretty much good to go, they've put me forward for a 6 month project role from Quantas (so back to the airline world potentially). Not sure if I want it, but I'll go along to find out about it.

Have booked the most fabulous trip today for next week. On tuesday I fly to Cairns and then do a 14 day trip back to Sydney, which includes a coupe of days sailing around the Whitsundays, a couple of days on Fraser Island, staying on a cattle ranch and a day or 2 at surf school, before heading back to Sydney. A complete extrravagence, but I figured what the hell, I deserve a holiday!!! (Once I've got this out of my system, I'll be fully focused on work - so I guess it's worth it...!!). Plus Jac and Matt move house next Mon, so after all of that heavy work - I'll NEED a break!

Hope you are all well, keep in touch and I'll blog after my trip!
