For Christmas I got a stomach virus

It was still a good Christmas though because my mum was out here for just under a couple of weeks. She had to look after me most of the time she was here, which I felt bad about, but apparently that's what mums do (according to her). For Christmas I got an air conditioner (much needed, yay!), clothes, books, a bathrobe, and gardening stuff. Way too many things, really. The best part was actually having mum here, though. Christmas isn't much without family.I'm getting better now, but I didn't... Read more

A few weeks ago, a bunch of people moved into a house a few doors down from me. They celebrated with a housewarming party which consisted of firecrackers and fights in the street outside my house. The housewarming party has continued every Friday and Saturday night since then with the same celebration - firecrackers and fights in the street. Props for originality... or not.Most mornings I go for a run around the neighbourhood. I'm up pretty early and the only people I encounter are tradies and... Read more

Homesick... but not for Sydney

Today I am missing Ústí like crazy. Sometimes I get this urge just to pack everything in and go live in Czecho for a while. The only thing stopping me is the complete lack of water jobs over there, although I hope one day soon the Czech government will take a proactive approach to water quality issues and take kindly to semi-fluent Czech speaking non-residents.

According to the last climate change conference I went to, air conditioners are the devil. According to me, a former environmental scientist, air conditioners are the shit. In the good kind of way.Summer is a little different out this way. I'm not quite sure of the best way to describe it, other than to once again compare the east VS the west. In Sydney, summer consists of several hot and humid days. Then it rains. Rinse and repeat for three months. In Perth, so far what I am seeing is that... Read more

I keep getting lost.

I've been to Perth city a few times now, and each time I keep getting hopelessly lost. It is actually quite disconcerting because apparently Perth is quite small, and yet I am prone to getting disoriented and therefore running late. I went again yesterday when it was a lovely 38 degrees C outside, and of course got lost, and instead of doing what I was meant to do I ended up making a hasty retreat back to my car and went home.The same thing happened to me when I was last in Prague, although the...

I have made friends with another ginger cat, who is using my backyard as his second home. I call him Mr Marmalade. Percy isn't very happy with the idea. I don't think they're friends yet - mostly when they have an encounter, they sing at each other with a few hisses from Percy, but no fighting (yet).I got a little sunburnt while doing some weeding in the backyard. It can't be called 'gardening' if the ratio of garden:weed is 1:10.I have the same plumbing problem here as I did back in Sydney.... Read more

There are too many rich old retirees and dopey socialites in this suburb anyway,

My household full of stuff is gone, my car is gone, my sanity is gone. I'm staying at my mum's place, which has a view to die for:This is the first time in forever that I have had a break between jobs, and frankly it's doing my head in. I'd really like to embrace the fact that I am staying in a house on the harbour with zero responsibilities to worry about and very little to do, when it comes down to it. I'm assuming that it's just a matter of time before it all sinks in.The problem is that if... Read more

I would have blogged earlier about my arrival, but as it is, (and really, it's the story of my life), Telstra managed to take over a week to fix my phone line fault. Sadly I am not surprised that Australia's largest telco stuffed me around again, because it seems to happen every time I need a new connection. I look forward to the day that naked ADSL2 presents itself to my suburb.My move to Perth hasn't been the smoothest transition in the history of my housing moves. In fact, it makes me... Read more
