Holidays

The past couple of weeks have been really nice without anything to do. No assessments, papers, stress, etc. Next week will be interesting as my turtles will begin to hatch and the frantic race to get everything analysed will begin and end in a few days. But I guess it comes with the territory.

Not too much else going on down here. They elected a new Prime Minister of the Labour (Democratic) Party so hopefully the trend will continue next year back in the states. We'll see.

I've been doing a lot of reading with my time off and looking for jobs for next year. There are plenty of them down here and the pay rate is better even with the exchange rate. And seeing as I have to take out some more loans in about a month it will be good to find something that pays well.

Our housemate, Michael, moved out last week and a new guy Antione, from Paris, moved in on Wednesday. It's kind of strange having different people in the house all the time but also cool because you get to meet new people all the time. He'll only be here for about 3 months then traveling around and back to France. Then we'll have someone new for a few months again.

Here are some pictures I don't think I have posted yet but everyone always likes them so here you go.

My Movember stache

Some parrots next door. They love it when our neighbours don't cut their grass. I'll have to get a bird book to see what species they are.

Hil snaping pics at the Halloween party. Can't wait to see the ones from Thailand these the past two weeks.

Can't remember what kind of rodent this one was.

I'll post some more next week as I've have to grab some grub and head off to soccer. Also I'll be taking orders if anyone would like me to bring anything back for them. I already have requests from here to bring back stuff from the US, ipods, climbing gear etc.

Later,
B.
