I've found the Loch Ness Monster

I think the monster decided to emigrate. I found it just North of Bondi Beach on a cold winter's day......

Still Job Hunting

The search goes on. I am now registered with just about every agency in Sydney. It is quite an experience and gives me a good idea of how recruitment agents work. Some are very pro-active, calling every couple of days to advise what they are doing (or not!) and what they think might come up in the next couple of weeks. Other just don't seem to bother and call out of the blue expecting that I can jump at a moments notice.

It is not without it's rewards and I have turned down a couple of jobs, waiting for the right one to come along. More interviews in the coming week so fingers crossed.

Queen's Birthday

It was a bank holiday weekend this week in honour of the Queen's Birthday.....???

Banks, Schools and other businesses shut down for the day whilst cafe's and restaurants stuck a 10% holiday surcharge onto the bill. (whilst the staff were probably not getting paid anymore) all in honour of the Queen.

This from a country who's Prime Minister has openly said that he will put a referendum forward to the Australian people that the country should be a republic with an elected "President" as head of state in the next couple of years.

 

I wonder if the Australian people are a bit more attached to the Royal family than they would like to admit. They are certainly much more prominent in the news here than in the UK.

Well the holiday was quite nice none the less.

Showing the way

I was walking back from the shops today and saw a blind lady coming towards me with her guide dog.

I stepped out of the way but she stopped and asked me where the Bourke Street Bakery was. I lifted my arm and pointed her the direction of the shop and then wondered why she was standing waiting for the answer.....

oops he he
