Life is tough but you just have to live it...

G'day,

Just though I'd bore you all with a quick update on what I've been upto.

I had Tuesday off for ANZAC Day and also took the Wednesday day off work on flexi -time, I don't think I've worked a full week in over a month. Went off camping down the coast and stayed at Southport on the Monday evening which is next to Surfers Paradise. After an evening spent lounging around drinking beer, in true blue camper style we boycotted the beans and noodles that had been brought along and went to KFC for an evening feed. Due to the shock of fresh air everyone had tapped out and was fast alseep for midnight. We headed off to a beach at Surfers on the Tuesday and spent the day intermittantly swimming, running around and soaking up the sun, oh, and a few beers of course. The surf was actually fairly lively and I managed to get myself dumped several times in a futile effort to get past where they were breaking to try and catch one. I still have sand in my ears now!

Not much else to report, life just potters on. I work about 55 hours over 6 days a week including Friday and Saturday night and spend at least 4 out of the remaining 5 nights in the pub. I play Football twice a week, squash once and get an average of 6 hours sleep a night if I'm lucky, eat at least one apple a day and one kebab a week. Oh, and I'm thinking of running the Gold Coast half-marathon, or at least doing a bit of training for it although I'm not sure if I'll still be in Brisbane when it runs.

I'm slowly toning down my debauched lifestyle of late nights and booze in order to give my liver a rest and also save up some money for when I leave Brisbane. I even managed to stay in last night even though there was a few mates just 5 minutes down the road in the pub - I'm a rock I tell you!

It's May Day next Monday so I get another 4 day week at the library - wuhoo, with a bit of skulduggery I might be able to make it so that I don't work a full week from now until I leave.

Take 'er easy,

Sadler
