We have been doing ok at work and we got our first pay this week so that was good. We have finished the first area that we were working in and we have been moved to another area. The only problem is that it is a Jewish area (known for being tight) but its also Easter so when we went out to work yestrday all the Jewish people are not allowed to handle money over passover. That lasts until tomorrow and we are going to work tomorrow so its going to be a bad day. We...

After 4 days of door to door charity collecting we are knackered, its quite hard work especially when you are getting people shouting at you and telling you to get a proper job. We have both collected quite a lot though and we get paid on Wed this week so that makes it all worth while.

We have had a few nights out this week because Lou made me go on a Neighbours night on Mon and then we got free tickets for another Neighbours night on Wed.

We have work again no...

The new place is really nice, we are about 5 minutes from the beach in St Kilda. I tried to watch the Grand Prix in a pub...

We haven't had much access to the internet over the last week or so but we have had a really good time and travelled from Adelaide to Melbourne. We stopped for a couple of nights in Mount Gambier where we saw the blue lake (really blue) and a sunken garden with possums in it. After that we went to Cape Bridgewater which is one of the top 10 bays in Australia. We went on a trek and saw a seal colony, even if you can't see them in the photos they were there, honest...
