Nothing to do with Australia, but this photo just came out of me and a bunch of pals with Hanson from when I was back in the UK in December.

Couple this with the fact that I finished work early today and I'm now chilling in bed, I'm having a pretty good Wednesday!

How to win a Frenchman's heart

Saucisson.

Mathias complained that he missed saucisson (dried sausage that looks, and smells, a lot like rotten cock) so I used the world wide web to find a shop in Melbourne that sells it. It's actually only 5 minutes from our house. Bonus!

The lady at the shop recommended one to me - apparently the one that actual French people tend to buy - so I got that and some Comté cheese, plus some red wine and a baguette to go with it.

Now hes sitting in the chair looking like a content wee cat. The cheese was a bit crap (didnt taste like real French Comté), the baguette was too soft, and the wine had only cost $3.50 so probably tasted like piss, but apparently the saucisson was great and tasted like the real deal. Yay!

10 girlfriend points to me!

New Job!

Unfortunately I had to get back into the job hunting business this week, which was rather depressing as I had assumed I wouldn't have to do that again whilst over here.

Yesterday I had my first shift at a hotel, doing housekeeping. It's hot and physical but they give me money and that makes me happy! We celebrated last night with copious amounts of alcohol, which is totally different to our usual Friday nights........................

Anyway, the number one best thing about my new job is that I get FREE LUNCH! Mathias gets free lunch at his job and it has become custom for him to tell me all the yummy things he ate for free when he gets home every day. I've always been very envious of his free food so you can imagine my delight when I heard the words FREE LUNCH at the hotel!!

So, in keeping with tradition, here is a run down of what I ate and did not pay for yesterday:
Veggie pizza
Sweetcorn and green beans
Cheese sandwich
Potato fritter
A lot of coca cola and lemonade

Yum!

Happy Chinese New Year!
