Dave had told me that 3 hours was plenty of time to do all my cleaning so I hope he swallowed his words when he saw the state of the place this morning. He was so shocked that he told me not to do the washing up that people had left and made me identify people on the CCTV footage of the kitchen who had left their washing up undone, which put me in a bit of an awkward 'snitch' position. One guy was Gerard, who it later turned out wasn't even paying to stay here. ...

Had a very productive day- filling out my tax file number declaration form, my tax file return for England and along the way discovered that my date of birth had been provided wrongly to the people my superannuation (like a pension in Australia) fund is with, and so sent off a certified photocopy of my ID to get that sorted too. I also went to Coles again to get more breakfast stuff. I walk past "Meldrum's Pies in Paradise' every day on my walk to work, and sin...

I brought Emilie a postcard with a leaving message, and some cheese doodles (similar to Watsits) and liquorice pacifiers from Fika, and then gave them to her when we went for sushi, along with Bella and Dane.

Afterwards, I went for a walk down the esplanade, and tried o...

There's no entertainment guy at the moment, which means that we have been running low on essential breakfast items, so I offered to go to Coles and get some (I think this was mostly prompted by me really needing a coffee and there not being any). I also brought stuff to make butternut pumpkin and bacon ri...

Allen had started opening the restaurant for me, which was kind of annoying as I wasn't working for quarter of an hour so I would have felt bad saying I started at 11, when actually it was more like 11.15. Fernando wanted to close the kitchen at 2 because we had no customers, but Josh compromised and said he could close it at 2.15. The two guys that quite often come in in the last half hour or so, that I think may be gay, managed to come in while we were still op...
