THE Opera House

After last weeks ranting and raving, I have had a much improved week.

We found a flat of our own. In a suburb of Sydney called Surry Hills. It is a 20 minute walk from Central station so about as central as we would like yet it is a quiet part of town, near a park and surrounded by lots of Restaurants and cafe's etc. I have to admit that the flat is not as nice as my flat in Edinburgh but as I am not paying any rent etc then I can't really complain. We only signed a 6 months lease so hopefully move to a nicer place later in the year. We move in on the 31st March.

We also scored a free night at the Opera House on Friday. Gus (the friend I was complaining about last week) managed to get us tickets to see the Sydney Symphony Orchestra perform West Side Story. It was a fantastic night (it was Brad's first time to the concert hall in the Opera house as well).

and we had a week of sunshine with the temps over 25deg every day!

and last but not least, I have got an appointment to see Immigration on the 10th April. Hopefully have a job by the 11th April....
