I keep loosing track of the days. Without having a job to go to everyday becomes the weekend. So it kinda passes by and I forget what day it is let alone what date. My concept of time is a little altered. I've been here now officially for two months. Experiencing all the joys of minus temperatures. My cold has gone from bacterial to viral, which is not treatable with antibiotics. Just resting, paracetamol and it might take up to a few weeks to get better. Some of...

So after getting really sick and ending up with a chest infection I thought England had broken me, I was at the stage I had enough of the cold. I didn't want to play anymore I wanted to go home to my comfy bed, warm sunny weather and get better. This UK winter stuff is really hard, the temperature sometimes stay below zero for days on end. Coming from a girl born in Darwin and moving to Brisbane my exposure to 'winter' has been mild to say the least. I have since...

On the bright side really I have not had anything very bad happy. On the gloomy side there have been things that have tested me & really pushed me. Train cancellations, snow changing plans, freezing cold weather & facing important life decisions. All gripes of my current existence. Finding a home to get to when snow cancelled my train actually wasn't that hard. But up until the time a solution was found it was ever so scary & daunting. Just wanting to...

Really liking Manchester. I caught the Tram out to Bury the other day, then into the town centre on Friday. It's great here. Plus I am staying with great people who are a blast to be around. If things work out well & I can get a job I might be staying here for a little bit. Going to see disturbed on the 12th of December too. Before that the plan is to head to Ireland for a week. Everything is so close & easy to get around, unlike home. Still getting used ...

Arrived at Manchester on Monday, after a bit of hibernating & not doing much. The train ride was great. A nice sunny day & lots to see along the way. Felt good to be traveling again, getting some independence & making it by myself. I like traveling alone in a lot of ways. I don't have to worry about anyone else, I can be in my own little world. Every trip is an achievement that I made happen. Navigating bus & train stations, connecting lines, haul...
