After my first full week of work me, Jen (Geordie, who doesn’t even sound northern) and Chris (scouser, who, well sounds scouse!) decided to go for a few drinks after work. The day had been about 36 degrees and when we walked to the bar round the corner the wind was actually really hot, weird! We sat outside...but then in true Melbourne fashion it started to hammer it down about 7pm so we moved inside. In here we had a few games of pool then some Aussie guys challenged us to a few rounds...in the end the right team won = us!


At about 10:30/11 we decided to head to Jens flat and see what her housemates were up to. On the way back me and Jen were waiting for Chris to stop chatting up a few girls that he'd bumped in to at then crossing and then we carried on walking.....As we carried on all I remember is seeing some bloke with maybe some others walking our way and pushing people out of their way, they were in a rush...I didn’t even look at the guys but slowly moved to the side as I was walking.....Next thing I know im on the ground and didn’t even see the fist coming until it had actually hit my eye. As I was on the ground the bloke turned to Chris and said something or other, Chris said something or other, words to the effect of F*** off leave us alone.


I didn’t really know what had happened as it wasn’t even like we'd bumped in to him or he had squared up to us, all I knew was I wanted to get out of there! So we walked back to Jens, her stopping in a restaurant to get my some napkins to stop the blood flow (I managed to keep it away from my white shirt tho - result!). Once back they got me some ice etc and some toilet roll....(which apparently Kate told me on Sunday that I had rejected cos it was scented...I sort of remember this cos it made me feel even more sick!) Chris was gonna get a cab back with me but I felt shocking and I think was pretty pale, so stayed at their flat with frozen veg on my face till the morning!
