Hey all _ right I have been rubbish with the net but .... Anyway ok so last time i had literally just landed and from there I slept for 3 days so didnt do anything in the day but I did go out a lot.

Tuesday we went to jamies and played poker, he lost and his girlfriend Aleks won... impressivr drank and headed to a few bars etc and went dancing and it was general merriment in the areas of Kew and Hawthorne

Wed - lay in and when jamie got back from work was taken to the Uni social at a bowls clubs (prep for the Uni games on the gold coast) and had plently of 'pots' of beer (little beers, half pints ish... very odd... but always cold) and then headed to the casino called crown casino in the city which is amazing, its huge and has clubs etc in - its like print works in manchester but far more impresive and on the river... and a casino.... where we didnt make money but equally didnt lose so that was super. Aussie men perv freely which takes some getting used to ...

Thursday - didnt go to bed until 9am after walking the dog, oh and forgot to mention the strip club... we went to a strip club... coz that is just ... well there are thousands in melbs and jamie though it was a must.. it was funny.

Thursday night headed out to Monash uni to hang out with the arts society people (jamies old society at uni) I thought I ws dying... I have never felt so rough in my life.... woke up at 5 got dressed and had to get back on it.. haha ... damn you jamie hay. We drank this vile stuff (which I like) called passion punch and after being forced by drinking game songs chants and general peer pressure I consumed enough to pass the hangover and pile into a car (do not worry no drink driving) to be taken to the local uni pub/ bar with life music and cheap drinks. This was after being caught by security in the buildings where we had apparently broken into... I do not see how as walking in was easyyyy... but yes... considering jamie is not a student there anymore and I never was... walking away very very fast while being shouted at did seem like the best plans.. Anwyay danced away and then fell into a cab home.

Fri - Got up packed and headed to St Kilda and went to the backpackers I am staying at now, where lawrence works. Arrived and got VIP (OMG if that was VIP lawrence ;) treatement and put in the 10 all girls room full of the party girls coz lawrence thought I would like it.. haha.. he is right but .. eugh.. my poor kidneys. Said BYEEE to Jamie.. sniff... sniff and went for a nap.

Friday night hit the common room and had a BBQ on the roof top terrace and just chatted with a load of people... as none of you know them I shall not bore you ... but names - Maddie, Aileen, Ellie, Jack, many other people whos names start with e J (which is weird... its like 8 of us) and just hung about meeting people and went to the local bar/ club in St kilda by the sea front called SB which is apparently a very famous live music venue, was jokes, hungout with a load of people (all from uk... typical again) and danced. Crasged out at some point (still suffering from jet lag which led to me not being able to eat - distressingggg).

Sat - Hungover.... slept... showered - went to see mums friends anne and sean from Ireland who have been ehre for years and got taken to south melbourne markets which ws an awsome inside market, [going to the bigger one - victoria market - tomo] and ate pealla and watched this massive AFL match final - st kilda v someone else and it was very exciting, brutal sport aussie rules, but exciting to watch... st kilda lost so where we were was a bit subdue upon return... oh yeh - got a wee bit lost on the tram... went to common room and drank goon, now I have had goon already on this trip but at this point must say - its basically a box of 'wine' for 5 quid.... its ridiculous... Love it. But yes.... Danced on tables and generally got up to mischief.

Sunday - Up early - suprising and went to see moonlit snactury with oz animals... very cute.... and also... ahh.. adn then went to phillip island to watch the penguin parade. It was so cute at a certain time each night they run yp from the sea to the beach into there little cave things... can be from 8 - 1000 at one time and hundreds of people go to watch. The island is 2 hours from melbs and was awsome.. at sun down they all waddle out and back in and its funny... headed back at 11 ish and crashed out.

Monday - Today walked around the CBD all day with chris, maddie, lawrence and aileen and now just typing this s***e out for you too read (well done if you have made it this far). Having such a good time. Noty missing home yet but do miss your faces....

Love ya lots/.... x Picture soon - this place has no way of getting them off camera...
