Whats up with the coastal theme?

I've missed the ocean a great deal. We've been hanging out in Warrnambool today babysitting my sisters house. And trying to eat our way thru the entire menu at Fishtales. Which is impossible. You'd just start again if you did.

The weather has been wet again, with the occasional lull. Perfect for shopping really. Which requires cash so tomorrow its time to read the Age and start looking for jobs in Melbourne.

Have been hoping to do some more camping again if the weather fines up. Funny that we'd miss it. I've had a lot of questions from fellow aussies who're still thinking of taking the plunge and travelling for an extended period, so we're still thinking a lot about writing a book or online website to capture all the ins and outs. I'm gonna add a link at the to Campervans4U.co.uk site also - they bought our rig and she's on the lot. Dont miss out on 'a bewdy'!

Better go, the Managing Director is calling.

Last week

On thursday it was my birthday - 33 years young. I'd have a midlife crisis but frankly I've been too darn busy being unemployed. ;)

Paula and I went to Queenscliff and stayed a few nights at Athelstane House to celebrate. Awesome. If you want a few quiet nights out near Geelong and some really good food and coffee, go there.

Caught a nice little Pinky snapper off the end of the Queenscliff pier - and had him for tea last night, which was great. It's nice to have some time to go fishing again. There's a photo below.

Have been spending a little bit of time building bits and pieces which should eventually become an electic power unit for my pushbike. I'm not sure that OPEC will notice the sudden drop in petrol sales, but it's nice to keep my brain turning over.

Stay good!
Sambo.
