Surfing last Saturday (21-03-2009) went well. Requires more upper body strength than I have, so I need to work on that before I give it another go. There was a shark in the water earlier that morning, but they were "keeping an eye on it..." Whatever that means ;). I swallowed a lot of water, and yes, it does hurt to fall.
By the way, I had to stop halfway through this post because somebody burnt salami in the microwave and set off the fire alarm... *slow clap for the person downstairs*
St. John Ambulance was okay. Just okay. We watched them ride around the track for 2.5 hours. That was it.
Yesterday at the bookstore, I noticed that highlighters here are called textsurfers.
I have found my replacement for my Cadbury Creme Eggs. The Cadbury company makes a candy bar called
Crunchie. It's just a piece of honeycomb toffee covered in chocolate. Yum!
Apparently, my watch that goes "beep beep!' at the hour is very annoying to somebody here. Supposedly because I'm in Australia now, a watch is not necessary, and I shouldn't be in a rush or care about the time... As much as I'd love to live my life that way, I just don't think I can do it.
More fieldwork tomorrow!
Off for tea!
