26th January 2003:

AUSTRALIA DAY

Mum called - which was nice. Said she recieved the package but Sairsy broke into it thinking it was a pressie for her. Nickyboy off to Barbados with Plum. Went to Hyde Park with Eddie, Connie and Trisha to listen to funk and chill. Got excessively drunk. Had a $5 salad and drew on Trisha's face when she fell asleep. Had BBQ chicken wings for dinner. And soup.

Bless

It seems like a long time ago I was sitting in a sun-drenched park in the middle of Sydney, with some Irish persons, listening to a funk band and drinking wine. And it seems like a long time until I'm there again. But its not.

Today is Australia Day. So I thought i'd break my 'post-a-month' habit and give the world an update less than week since my last (aren't I good?).

I went out for my first proper longboarding session on Sunday with one of my hommies Billy. I borrowed my housemates longboard. My housemate is a female and her longboard has a flowering pink pattern on it. I left the house knowing I looked like a tart trying to longboard. Had a good run though (apart from a nasty encounter with an oncoming car at the first corner!). Got some muscle ache afterwards. Echoes of the BoardFree kickabout last week come flooding back. Brilliant session though.

I've spent the last three days in Essex gathering some much needed funds. Chatted to a Romford lad and an American session guitarist (who lives in Sweden) about BoardFree. Anybody is interested in this project. I'm sending them some leaflets.

I was listening to the radio on my way back to Falmouth and they were talking about Australia Day. What a country. I had a great day three years ago. I particularly enjoyed my entries either side of this day; the day before I was at the Big Day Out, met up with a long lost friend, and had a particularly unfortunate pooing problem. And the day after the entry simply reads: 'Lazy day - did f**k all'.

Gotta love it!

HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY
