Wild Nights Tour

I went to the ‘Wild Nights’ tour on Friday night. Yep, the same day I got home from Perth. It hasn’t stopped for me lately, sheesh! I managed to have a bit of a sleep, since I’d barely slept on...

Perth 3

I’m back home! Again. Back to reality this time though. That’s never a good feeling haha, but oh well. I can honestly say I had an amazing time in Perth and am so glad I went back there after 11...

Perth again

I managed to go for a bit of a walk yesterday, until the clouds came over the river and I got absolutely drenched LOL. Gotta love how I spent an entire month in Europe, with maybe two small burst...

Perth

I’m in Perth! It’s such a nice feeling being here again, as I believe the last time I was here was in 2007, so yeah, eleven years ago. I arrived REALLY late last night, because for some reason, t...


I’m back home in Australia! :D Man, that flight back was a doozy. 18.5 hours all up I think. Probably even longer. For some reason, Emirates do a stop-over in Singapore on the way home, but th...

Barcelona & Sitges

When did I last write? Oh yes on the train Anyway, I’m in Rome at the moment. Barcelona was a beautiful city. Sitges was nice and easy to get to. The Magic Fountain was pretty special. The Ry...

Lisbon & Madrid

I’m sorry I haven’t written. I’ve seriously been walking SO much since arriving in Europe and tend to wear myself out by the time I get back to sleep, so I’ve been showering, using wifi to uploa...

Short Goldy trip

The Gold Coast was alright. I wasn’t there long. Of course, Brent got held up at work so I was stuck waiting at the train station, which of course was the exact situation I was in that time that...

Talk to strangers

I went for a walk yesterday to my usual spot on my day off, in Newstead by the river. It seems to have become a routine the last few years. I’ll stop in at the shops, get a snack and go sit and...

Commonwealth Games

It was actually pretty liberating being a spectator at the Commonwealth Games. I’m glad I went. I did end up training and tramming all the way down there and all the way back, only to get up aga...

Easter Day 2018

So my parents place is as boring as usual. I mean, nothing ever changes out in the country. I’m not sure it’s meant to? It’s the same routine each time I’m out there, although this time I need...

Love, Simon

Work was as crazy busy as I predicted. Was very over it and definitely earned the penalty rates today, phew. Didn’t stop. Went to Chermside and caught up with the boys. We were minus Ben this ...


Well, good news in that I think I can still write here, hopefully for good, and not for just now haha. Very thankful to Dan for all his hard work, and looking forward to seeing if Josh will cens...


I’ve exported all my books on here to text files, so that’s something. I now have two lots of exports - 2004-2013 from OD and from 2013-2018 from here LOL. We don’t have much luck, do we? So afte...

Farewell Prosebox

It’s been lovely here the past 5 years. Hard to believe it’s been that long. This place was a savior in the demise of OpenDiary and I’m very thankful for that. I tend to see the good side of t...

LANY

I went to the LANY concert last night. They’re an indie band from LA (LANY is an acronym for ‘Los Angeles New York’.) I caught the bus there and had to walk a short distance to the venue, which ...

What's been happening

Yikes, seeing Prosebox down earlier on the week reminded me of the End-Of-OD-Days (or EOODD). Nice to have it back! Of course I wanted to write, but couldn’t even fathom writing over on OD (now t...

Booked :)

I booked my flights to Portugal today. So that’s pretty fucking exciting. And nerve-racking. The thought of having to do those massive flights all over again ergh. They’re 25/26 hours all up ...

Rehabilitation

My back has been gradually feeling better. It’s my long shifts at work where I really feel it, especially after my 6:30am until 4pm Saturday shifts. It was also a fucked-week. I don’t know wha...

Wannabe stoner

Well, I think any chance of management (even if I wanted it) at this job was thrown out the window today at work. I burst into tears about two and a half hours into my shift. Uncontrollable cry...

Owwwwwwwwwie owie owie

Hol-lee hell, I haven’t felt this much pain in a long time! Right now, I’m really feeling for those poor people who have constant back issues most days of their lives. I’m not used to feeling t...

Hurt my back / Portugal!

I think this is my first entry from the Hotel Bartley (my home’s nickname) bathtub! I hurt my back at work today :( I’m not exactly sure what I was doing, but I felt fine going to work, but whil...

Catch-ups with Matt O'

I caught up with my friend Matt-O last night, since it was the last chance I’d be able to since he’s continuing his visit to Australia. He’s from here but has been working in London for the last...


Words like this, I noticed, were thrown around a fair bit at camp. The whole northern NSW area has been known as an “alternative” region for as long as I can remember (Byron Bay, Nimbin etc) so ...


I finally found a free PowerPoint at the campsite for my final night here. I’m going to start packing up some of the small stuff and moving it to the car tonight. The tent can wait until sunrise...
