Alot has happened.

Im no longer in Australia. Im back in great Ireland.
Its 8 °C here at like 10am and its like 23.1 °C in Brisbane right now ! and its 8pm over there !
On my front page i put up 2 feeds saying the temperature in dublin and brisbane :9

Got home alrightie. Was travelling from like midnight on Friday until midday on Sunday. stayed over night in London where got a good rest! Family didn't know that i was coming on so i got all the way to the local hotel, and phoned my dad at home, and after about an hour of ringing i got through to him. Started off by saying that i made the decision to come home, and asked if i did need a loan of cash to get home would i be able to get it from him, and he went on to say that there would be no problem, that he could transfer it over immediately, and if i needed to i could send him the details of my account.
I then told him that with him knowing my bad sense of humor, i would probably just turn up into Dublin and phone and say i was home, and he said that would be totally OK, so i verified it once more, and told him that i was in the local and whether he wanted to come up for a pint, he immediately said OK and hung up. Seemingly he just copped onto what was happening and reacted like that cos the sister was listening in worryingly and he wanted to play it up with her a bit.

My sister had the great idea to cook her dinner from last night at lunch time today, so i jumped in for some of it! pasta with chicken Kiev!... hmmm
Came out and she cooked *allot* but... i ate a piece of the chicken she said was nice, i enjoyed it, tried some pasta and went back for more chicken... then found out that it was half cooked ! so she tried to poison me !

Ill make another post either today or tomorrow about a few more of my memories of my trip, or maybe a bit more on my trip home. It was long, i welcomed the sleep over in London.

Can anyone who reads this post make a quick reply, maybe just welcoming me home or something, just wondering who actually reads this.

Back Packers Hostel
QM Tech(work) - Cept its not where a is, its the building thats in the middle of the screen
Apartment in Coorparoo - see the shiny white one smack in the middle of the page on a t-junction with a round about... its not that one... its the grey one directly to above that.
bus stop at the end of my road - see the t-shaped building in the middle of the picture, thats the 24hr shell garage, right at the road outside that is the bus stop that i spent *way* too much time at ! Macdonalds is the purple looking roof to the right of that building. **way** to close !

Right!
things are slowly starting to fall apart... or come together.

handed the keys of the apartment in as lunch today, so officially a backpacker again. Yesterday afternoon i didnt know where i would be sleeping tonight... but i got it organised when i got into work(4pm)... I dont know whether i organised that too soon, for those of u that know my track record.
Staying at The Brisbane Backpackers Resort. middle of West End, a good, lively, place in Brisbane. Should be interesting.
Right now i have no idea what im doing.
There is a natural break in my work as of 2 weeks, in that my job, as a scanner, will be stopping and the scanning side of things moved to Sydney. I can transfer to a full time Data Entry as that will be kept in Brisbane for a further 6 weeks, as i have done it before. But as i said its a natural break in the work. I could just up and go. Ive nothing left to tie me down to this city so might as well experience a different city.
Ive a number of options that i will be considering over the next week.
Either:
- call it quits and make a move home
- Stay in Brisbane
- Move to another city and work for a while
- Save up enough money to start heading home and spend a month visiting different countries, Hong Kong was one place that came to mind, as was the Himalayas mountain range, italy came to mind too for some reason... well the reason is i know someone there.

I will be clear from everything as of tomorrow when i get confirmation on what i need to do rent wise. so can start thinking about the next few weeks then!



Now ! back to the backpackers place !!!
There is a pool !
There is a jacuzzi !
There is a pub !
There is like restaurants, Internet access !
man this is gonna be fun !
update with more info then.
