36!!
02.13.04 (9:27 am) [edit][b]Day 69 [/b]
I survived the first week back in work. I was glad to be stuck in the office because it got up to 41C this week and at least the office is air conditioned... unlike the bleedin' hostel! It’s really muggy at night and you just can't sleep.
But the heat does create the most fantastic storms! Wednesday night I stayed on the roof with a few other inmates watching the storm over Sydney city centre... it was amazing... the lightning flashes were huge one massive one every 30 secs... like being at some massive rave!
We won the Quiz in the RSL! Which entitled us to a bonus question to win $2600...
How old was Napoleon when he died?
46 said one of the lads
46 said one of the girls
So we write 46, then at the last minute some said "No, 36!"
So the bleedin' idiot with the pen changes the answer to 36
Wrong answer!! 46 is right! We were gutted!
Spent last night in Darling Harbour singing Irish songs with a group of lads and girls from Cork.... as you do. (Having a few drinks is the only way you can sleep! I just pass out...)
Tomorrow is Retro! Which sounds like the Grafton by what ive been told. It Valentine Singles Night!! and we have all been told to dress 80's style! Which is my style anyway so no problem there....
Right got to go.. off to watch Stuck On You tonight.

ps 4th place for the Reds 39 points.. a draw and we are safe from relegation. What all this booing ive been reading about?? Booing the team? and did the boo they old Spice boys?
As for you Blues back to the good old days of relegation dog fight, keeps the season interesting!

Well done on the new job - althought it is a bit drastic moving to a different continent for one! Once youve got your pad & own swimming pool sorted out ill be right over....
