March 20

Wake up early and lie thinking about my life over the last year and reflecting on my early days in Melbourne. It's really odd how a change in location can change your whole outlook and approach to life. Over the last 10 months I've achieved virtually nothing, lost my ambition and zest. But here I am ready to work and get out and about. Brisbane seems to exacerbate my laziness and I'm not sure why.

When Shane wakes up we spend all morning on this overcast day (which I come to learn is pretty much everyday) watching more Viva La Bam. (Totally at his request I might add.) I walk him to work (1 min walk) where he gives me a small tour. Lots of interesting and necessary things nearby (bakery!, netcafe, bank, Sta travel office, recruitment agency, 2 pubs, chemist, convenience shops, tube station, laundry, photo developing, all in 1 block!) He seems excited for me to see his work and meet his friends and gives me a small tour of the hospital behind the scenes until I point out he probably shouldn't be showing me around while he's clocked on.

I ponder scouring the area until I realise my navigational skills are rusty at best and with no phone on me and a little paranoia about being out alone, I trot (neigh) back home where I settle for an afternoon of reading, and start to fear that my ambition and zest has gone again when it feels more comfortable sitting around the house (even though Shane's brother is trying to sleep). Will have to work on this.

After watching a bit of Teen Wolf and a short nap (seriously, I thought unlike everyone else in the world, jet lag wouldn't affect me, but alas), we have a few 500ml Stellas (6 for 6 pound!) and watch Seinfeld on DVD. Bed. ZzZzzZzzz.

Its already occuring to me how horribly boring these posts are hastily becoming if I don't get off my ass and do something interesting soon.
