Big news !!! It looks like I'm leaving early, I'm now leaving tomorrow 1/10/10 A friend of mine Michael is driving up to Brisbane tomorrow and offered me a lift. Today I did a little balloon tying and am now at my last dr's appointment, as far as my health goes I am having surgery in December to remove the cancer in my abdomen which I will come back to Sydney for before I go traveling again. As far as the sarcoidosis in my chest goes I'll be on steroids for i...

I started to balloon tie in the mall but it got to cold and windy so I went to the Wollongong art gallery and a look around. I also went to the camping store and bought a bowl and large mug that folds FLAT , I couldn't believe it absolutly awesome!!! Only 11 days to go I can't wait !

Well another day balloon tying before I head off. It was a slow day but made a little bit of cash. I met a young musician by the name of Alex who is learning the ropes of entertaining on the. Street. And caught up with Drew a musician who used to perform with me allthe time about 5 years ago who I haven't seen in all that time as he's been living and performing in Paris., it was good to catch up with him.

I'm off to see the Surgeon for the last time before I leave hopefully surgery on the tumor near my kidney can wait until December when I'll be back visiting family for Christmas .

This is the first photo I took on the new camera of Wollongong lighthouse close to sunset yesterday . It was so relaxing and exciting to know there's only 15 days before I take off!
