Well I suppose I should mention that I became an uncle, yet again, for the seventh time today. My younger brother and his wife were expecting their devil-spawn - I mean newborn - sometime today,...

---

I have about a half-hour before heading back to work for the second day this week (and it’s Saturday!). It was a bit weird to have yesterday off as a leave day, but nice to not have to get up at...

---

I just got done watching Martin Garrix’s live-stream, the second one he’s done in a few weeks now. His last one was gone doing his set from on top of a tower. This one was him doing his set fro...

---

I just got done watching another one of Jacinta Ardern’s Facebook Live updates, and am longing yet again to move across the ditch to New Zealand lol. Man, she just makes everything so clear-as-d...

---

First day back at work for the week went relatively unscathed. A lot of restrictions on products have been lifted. Toilet paper and hand sanitizer have gone from one to four, paper towels and s...

---

Work was absolutely insane yesterday, to the point where social-distancing was completely out the window. Even the manager on said he wondered if customers were being counted at the door. I was...

---

I can’t stop being amused by these memes LOL. I still can’t believe what he said yesterday actually happened. Oh well, natural selection and all that jazz, I guess. Let the weeds weed themsel...

---

That was another rough work-week. Despite us now having plenty of toilet paper, we had no eggs from Thursday through Sunday, so THAT was fun! And if I hadn’t noticed the count was wrong on my w...

---

It’s Moe and Ben’s wedding today! I’ve finished work and am at gym cisco haven’t been in like a week, and I have to be at the registry office at 3:45pm to be a witness. I spent all last night i...

---

I went and saw ‘The Addams Family’ movie at the cinema today. You know, the animated one? It came out earlier in the month and I thought that was silly given it should have been out for Hallowe...

---

Omg, I didn’t have time to write this past weekend. I took Saturday off to attend my extended-family Xmas party out at The Grange in Pittsworth where my grandmother lives, so I picked up the hir...

---

My birthday dinner went fairly well. Chris and Reece both RSVP’d ‘Yes’ to attending, but neither showed up, so that was a little disappointing, but I was surprised that Ryan and Cam both said the...

---

I went down the Gold Coast Tuesday night to see Brent. He reckons he moved in there in January, and I moved into my place in January too so that’d mean I haven’t seen him in 10 months. It certa...

---

Omg I have so much to write about but am so tired! I don’t wanna forget it all though so will write what I can. Yesterday I figured out the subway system here. Man, it’s done well. 21+ differen...

---

Yesterday was another busy day being a tourist! I did Forbidden City. Wow, just wow. I only just made it there on time too. The last tickets sell at 4pm, and I was confused when I arrived. Ev...

---

Today was a trip to the (apparently famous 🤷) Silk Markets. Ryan took me there and we were picked up in a fancy-as-fuck car! I only wish I’d had time to film it. The doors opened upwards, put ...

---

Yesterday I was braver and figured out how to cross the streets more confidently. I was hopeless on my first attempt the day prior. You know what gave me confidence? A dog. Yup. A freaking DO...

---

Just a short entry today. Today the weather was MUCH nicer! Barely noticed any pollution in the air from the hotel windows, and the sky was blue. The only thing was that is was cold, about 8 de...

---

I’m in Beijing! Of course it wasn’t without a few unknown things thrown my way, such as needing to provide all my fingerprints before and at immigration. The taxi in took about 40 minutes, then ...

---

It’s a Monday and I am on my days off. Thank God. I was asked yet again if I wanted to work today, but I just couldn’t do it. That would make it a third week in a row. I was actually honest i...

---

Ergh, I’ve been doing so many hours the past week, and next week looks to be the same. Management just don’t have their shit together and I’ve stupidly been agreeing to give myself Monday-itis b...

---

Last night I went to the 14th annual Madonna party at The Wickham, one of our local gay bars. It was okay. Steve kindly picked me up from work when I finished at 7pm. I’d brought clothes to ch...

---

I got there too early, and initially was completely over it after like 3 hours lol, but thankfully I got distracted by watching some of the races, the venomous snake show and the cat-breed show. ...

---

Yesterday I went to Pittsworth for my grandma’s 90th birthday celebration. I wasn’t really looking forward to it or the social anxiety of having to see estranged extended family whom I probably ...

---

I had dinner at Rhys and Luke’s place last night, and met their friends, Gray and Ollie. They appeared to also be a couple, given they way they were interacting. I figured probably a long-term ...
