Snap and Scribble

I should be getting my shit together and driving down to NSW now – not sitting on my arse in front of this stupid computer and writing my third blog post of the morning! This is all your fault Gwen! I hope you’re satisfied!!!

Anyway, seeing as i’ve booked my flights and stuff, and i’ll be in England in just over two weeks, i thought i’d better organise a broadband connection for my mum’s place – so i don’t feel like my lifeline’s been cut halfway up a tree! … Read more »

Well, after a phone call to my credit union, and a bit more stuffing around on the Sri Lankan Airlines web site, i’ve finally booked my flight from Singapore to London.

The whole trip, from Brisbane to London, one way, has cost me about AU$910 – which is a lot cheaper than you’ll get it from any travel agent. It’s probably about half price, in fact! Weirdly, Darwin to Singapore is relatively the most expensive bit of the journey – costing $350 this time, although you can get there a fair bit cheaper than that if you fly (and book!) at the right time. Brisbane to Darwin was $155 (which is stupidly cheap!) and Singapore to London was just over $400 (which is a silly price, too!). … Read more »

I’m in Byron Bay. I hired a car yesterday in Brisbane and drove down here with my friend Danniella, who i hadn’t seen since May last year. We’ve been seeing a lot of each other recently – we seem to manage to catch up about once a year!

Danniella’s an old sea dog. She’s been working on the water for a few years now. She’s just finished a stint on a dredger somewhere in Western Australia. She’s at sea a lot, and when she’s not she gets around all over Australia, so it’s quite hard to catch up with her. Plus, of course, i’m all over the place all the time, myself. … Read more »
