Other than work stuff, things here are good. We’re doing well in the local football league we’re playing in. I guess there’s not a huge element of surprise there though as we do have an ex-English premiership player playing up front for us but hey. Some people might see as a touch unfair, but I just think it’s always nice to win.

Also, I bought a truck the other day. Partly to get to and from work, partly to give me a bit more independence but mostly just cause I thought it was really cool. Unfortunately in this photo things don’t really seem that different from how they would back home as it’s pissing it down with rain and my vehicle doesn’t work but I’m hoping both these things are just temporary. Certainly it was working fine the other day but I had to fit a new ignition barrel yesterday and since then the starter motor has been accompanied by its own light and smoke show. It could just be a coincidence but just in case, dad, if you could send a hayne’s manual to the normal P.O. box then I should have it sorted in six to eight weeks.

Anyway, as I doubt many of you are still checking this blog there seems little point in going on for much longer. Just to say, I hope you are all well and that all is good back home or wherever you are, and I will write again, if not soon, then later.
