Update Post Turning 26

So in a week that you turn 26 I'm sure certain things are supposed to happen, like for example you run a self assessment of your achievements and where exactly you though you might have ended up at this age 10 years ago…

So I started a list of things I should have done, scribble a few things down… then came the realisation that oops I’ve taken a different path in life than I had planned and all in all it actually turned out not too bad. Albeit I’m in Darwin and have a cold and sick when the weather is a constant 30 degree Max per day.

Ok so news since last post.


I go back to uni in 2 weeks (arrrhh) still very unhappy with CDU one of my subjects doesn’t even have the text book on the bookshop list yet…
The V8 Supercar Series has been and gone in Darwin, had promise for a good day out and then with the assistance of Bundy was a top day out (yes I remember now why I don’t drink rum was a very quiet day Sunday recovering)
July 1st – it is legal in Darwin to buy and obviously detonate fireworks on Territory Day between 6pm and 11pm. Hospital count for the emergency department as a result of injuries totalled 22. How many lost dogs, I can not say.. but I would say a few. As was the amount of times I have been woken up at all hours of the night each weekend since because someone has let off their stash of crackers...
Birthday Celebrations on the Darwin Harbour in a boat with seafood and wine to celebrate was brilliant.
Darwin Cup is on the horizon (7th of August – therefore diet has kicked in as has search for ‘the outfit’)

Flight tickets are booked for my trip to Mission Beach (Cairns) in September and I can't wait.

Have given up hope on my real estate agent who has from the sounds of it sold my unit to someone else (long story... but back to house hunting again in a sellers market)
