I don't know where to start...maybe by saying time flys when you are having fun? Or when you are working too hard? Bit of column A, bit of column B. Defo have more grey hairs, and wrinkles, nothing L'oreal and a bit of botox cant help.
Well you all are human and you know how it is, when it has been ages since you have seen someone you cant for the life of you think of any news to tell them so forgive me if this is a big disjointed.
Since Scotland, what a wonderful trip! So so nice to see Mum and Dad and go exploring with them, I think they may have caught the traveling bug so hopefully they will be back on this side of the world soon!
As sad as it is the vast majority of my life over the past few months has been all about work. I always heard about people who got into work early and left late, working 10 hour days and all that, to be honest I thought they were stupid I couldn't even conceive it! Every job I have had I would be counting down the minutes until 5:30 so I could dash out the door, staying any later seemed ridiculous especially if it was of your own choice! Alas, here I am working overtime (without pay may I add), getting in at 7:30am leaving at 8pm but its not a chore! I am so busy but completely in a good way, after busting my arse the whole year finally it seems to be paying off and I feel like I might actually be good at my job which is an amazing feeling!
The people are amazing, its like a little family and you know wherever you work there is normally SOMEONE, who pisses everybody off for some reason they just dont fit in and are on a mission to make everyones life just a bit harder? It is just not the case at Humanscale, even though everyone is in sales every individual is supportive, I have realised how crucial good management is to bring the best out of their employees, it is such a good environment you cant help but love it! I was truley blessed to find such a great workplace first job out of Melbourne.
Also been doing some travel of late, mainly to Dublin with clients to show them the factory (which mind you is actually amazing, perhaps it make me sad that an ergonomics manufactuers factory can be exciting but it really is!) but it is still nice to have some variety. Next week we are having an event called Faces in the Wild which is an art auction which raises money for the WWF, somehow I was roped into doing a piece for it which I almost regret. I am making a huge spiderweb necklace which takes me right back to my beading days, it is rather theraputic but I couldn't have chosen a more time consuming design - I think it may end up a bit like my year 12 exams, a few sleepness nights just before the event, "it will be fine!". Hopefully it will be worth it if I dont loose my temper and throw it out the window.
What else? Not too much play travel, a massive group of us went to Ibiza which was amazing. I can see why it has such a reputation, everyone is there simply to party. Music started at 10am, finished at 8am, sleeping was not really an option, made me feel a little bit old and a lot fat wich all those stupid skinny fake bosomed women walking around the beach but I was in such good company, we all just laughed! so many good memories! Special mention to Tully for buying the blow up lilos for the pool - brilliant call!
Apart from that life is life, trying to keep up with what is going on back at home, mum and dad seem to be coping without me and my hairs in the shower plug just fine, Tom is still Tom, bless you so young and full of ambition, dude you need to get over here I have some SERIOUS music contacts that you have to at least meet! So many talented people over here, it is so your scene! My darling Natalie is preparing for her wedding which I am so looking forward to! My little girl all grown up, looking stunning, beaming with happiness! Absolutely stoked for it (trying to throw in some Aussies slang, apparently me accent is growing weary)!
The days are getting shorter so quickly, god the winters are so long over here. As the rest of you are getting your summer wardrobes ready, nearly spring racing carnival! Always missing home, more for the people than the place but all in all feeling really good. Know where home is though, that will never change.
Oh I almost forgot about a stand out weekend! Creamfields! Mum and Dad, its a music festival...loads of big name dj's, thousands of people there up in Liverpool...Steve my boss got Nick and I artists passes and oh my god, it was amazing. We could go anywhere, VIP tents, while the DJ's were playing you could be up on stage with them looking over thousands of people! Once in a lifetime, it was incredible and so much fun, and so bloody muddy - gumboots essential!
I hope anyone who has bothered to read this is well and happy, thanks for taking an interest in what is going on over this side so so far away but disturbingly close!
p.s. Tolmie, Hamish, jamie time!
p.p.s. if you need a break, come over and visit me! We can take a weekend to France, or Italy, or Spain, or Sweden, anywhere you like!
So much love from London x o x o x
p.p.p.s. If you want to learn how to do a Jamaican accent just say the following words:
Beer - can - sandwich
p.p.p.p.s. Mum! Please you tube the following: baby elaphant sneezing. I laughed so much I cried, so damn cute!
Well you all are human and you know how it is, when it has been ages since you have seen someone you cant for the life of you think of any news to tell them so forgive me if this is a big disjointed.
