Update

I have some very good news this week. I am well! For those of you who have not heard my whinging I have had a cold for over two weeks, not bad enough to take time off work but not well enough to have a social life. It happens to have just abaited in time for me to start full time work, while this is great news for my work it is a tad frustrating for me.
Other than this I am contemplating moving, I think the guy down the hall may have some serious problems. I know I talk to myself but this guy really does take the cake, he starts at about 6 in the morning and talks about anything and everything for the entire day. He also manages to put approximately 10 wine bottles in the recycling a week which is a tad concerning, and he gets very angry (ammusingly so) when you raise the issue of anything he could do better, and since there are a lot of those it isn't the greatest living situation. I have put a complaint in to the housing people here, unfortunately my landlord can't just kick him out due to his 'rights.' However, I'm hoping my rights and the rights of the other tenant might trump his and I might not have to move.
Failing this I have a couple of friends wanting to move somewhere plus my roomate here, so we can at least fill a four bedroom place somewhere.

In love

Before I talk about my love interests I feel the need for a whinge. My mp3 players battery died, it takes about a half hour to recharge but so far I have not bothered to go hunting through my cords to find the one to charge it with, because of this everytime I go somewhere I am forced to listen to my cellphone radio. This is not so bad in the daytime except in the evenings the only decent radio I have found runs a love song dedications section. Last nights selection of dedications consisted of a guy who'd just got out of jail whinging about having to be separated from his girlfriend while he was in jail, a guy who bubbled about the "love of his life" for ten minutes and then said he only met her a week ago, followed by a woman who decided to recount the entire demise of her relationship on national radio.

I am also surrounded by a different type of 'love'. The guy down the hall has currently had a different girl over 7 nights in a row. I'm not exactly sure what to say to them when I'm introduced to them, tonight I really was tempted to comment about how I thought she had blonde hair or something of the like.

Anyway now that I'm finished with my whinges I'll tell you about my love. He is absolutely gorgeous, has dark brown hair, a really friendly selection of friends, and he's 2 and a half. In fact I'm in love with all of the children in my group they are all gorgeous. This one made my day on Monday, I'd just got to work, he got off his bed and came over. "Hello, hello. Moreh Margalit, I love you" I can't think of many other jobs when you get hugged just for walking in the door. I've had more hugs in the last two weeks than the rest of my life.

Rain, rain come over here!

I am officially living proof that anything familiar is nice when you don't have it. This morning I woke up and it looked like it was going to be a fully rainy day, I happily made myself a cup of coffee and sat down to read some news. Sadly half an hour later the first real rain I've seen in a month vanished and stole my illusion of a rainy day. I had temporarily forgotten that here rain lasts for 10 minutes and blue sky is the status quo. I feel sorry for all those people that don't know the joy of making hot drinks, turning the heater on and remaining indoors for a week. The poor Melbournians that don't know what it is to have a weeks laundry drying around the house, to spend a Sunday with a fire, a book and the lulling sound of rain on the roof.
On the other hand I am also aware that too much rain is a bit of an issue for my wee country that used to be across the ditch. I was informed this week that you have now been completely submerged and I am officially a refugee. While you are all developing the required gills, scales and fins I am about to begin enjoying the benefits of refugee status.
On another note, I love my work at the creche. The children are fantastic, the bosses are great and I even enjoy nappy changing time. I know most of you can't really see me in a creche environment but I am in my element. I think sleep time may have a little something to do with it, I am paid to sit in a dark room with classical music playing rubbing children's backs for an hour and a half. Of course none of the children understand what I'm saying, if I want to get them to go to their beds I have to say "Go to bad." If I say it properly they look at me like I have three heads and then proceed to ignore me completely.

Helllllloooooooo

So yes I am slack at blogging but I have an excuse. If you haven't noticed yet, with me there is always a reason and if there isn't there will be!!! Anyway up until now I haven't had internet, to get it I had to go to the library or use my flatmates. This was fine until I started work, at which point I didn't really have the spare time to sit online at the library for hours.



The news is I HAVE INTERNET!!!! My new best friend is a white plastic stick, it plugs into my computer and very nicely provides me a connection to the rest of the world. I think it is possible that I am addicted to the internet, the withdrawl symptoms were not nice and I was very quick to return to the habit, however I don't think it's too dangerous so I plan to keep my white stick friend for a very long time!



In other news, I ate the best pizza in the world tonight. I fully recommend Shemesh pizza's and if anyone wants to go out for one with me I will make myself available.
