I had one of those the other day. I’m referring to the times when you can see memories being formed. I was riding a bike, with my Mp3 player going. Crusing along, it was a nice sunny day, around 25C. The music was relaxing and fun, then i came to the railwway crossing, could have crossed just infront of the train, but decided to wait and let it go. It was a long train, i got bored and started to go down the track beside the train, the access road. it was speeding along beside me. Whilst i was getting jolted around the place on the bumpy track. it was just a really splendid time. The Mountains, my music, the train, me racing the train, the suny weather. It felt like i was at home, like i could do this forever. Wether or not i can is a different matter which the government will decide. I can see heaps of good memories being made this summer, and it doesn’t even matter where i work. Fun Times ahead!!

WOW! Time has totally flown by here. I just landed 3 weeks ago, and now it is time to leave. It was a fun time being back in Australia. Weird at the start, cause Canada looked so far away, but as i just lived here, knocking down pergolas, doing paving around the house. moving sand (not dirt or soil, just sand) Catching up with friends. The time has flown by. The fun has been had. I didn’t realise that i had so many people to catch up with. It has been great to catch up with all of them. The funny thing is that there isn’t many guys amongst them. That is, i wouldn’t say worrying just unusual to see.

I went to a rugby game with Dad, Australia vs Fiji. A drubbing 49-0. It was a good time, just chilln with Dad. It seems that Dad and mines’ relationship is getting a bit better. Not that it was bad to start with, it was just stilted. Generally keeping to the male topic of Sport. Things seem to be going good though.

For those that i haven’t told, and that would be all your readers. Dad had an MRI the Monday before i arrived and it came back all clear!! YAY!! So that means that there
is no sign of the Brain Tumour, at all in the cavity or anywhere around. 6 Monthly check ups are still needed to keep on top of it. The only downside at the moment is short term memory. Though we are hoping that this will return to normal with more use of the brain. The Brain will build stuff back up in the hole, or changes parts which aren’t used normally to help. Quite amazing really.

So yeah, everything is good. I will miss Australia. I didn’t think i would. I have no time frame for when i will be back. I have a possible 18 months up my sleeve. My uncle did the same, His sleeve is reaching 20 years. Damn pretty Canadian women!

Well Time is certainly moving fast. It is only 10 days or so till i head back to Canada. Scary. i have managed to do plenty at the moment. I have knocked down the Pergola, which was loads of fun. I am managing to get a bit of a workout which i enjoyed after not doing anything except for walking in the last month. I have plenty of people to catch up with as well. I didn’t realise how many people i wanted to catch up with! I do miss Canada, but i do love Australia as well. It is a weird place to be in. There are things i dislike about Australia, and Canada. One thing that i noticed today was annoying. I was on the Bus travelling up the Kwinana Freeway (the only Freeway in Perth) and this dick went past us giving us the finger. I have no reason why he did this, we were going the speed limit i think, well we were overtaking other cars. Just being a wanker i think.

I had my sisters wedding on the first weekend that i was here. That was an awesome day. She looked so b.e.a.u.t.i.f.u.l. It was clear in her eyes and the way that she was looking at her hubby that they were most definitely in love. I had to walk my Nanna down the aisle, so that made me a de facto part of  the wedding party. My Nan was matron of honour, so she did the signing of the register and all. It was a Catholic wedding, so something quite new for me. I was so nervous about all the head nodding that you had to do. I did it all though, and the day went graciously fantastic. The reception was lots of fun also. Lots of dancing was had, not by me. I for some reason wasn’t in a dancing mood. I did manage to take some Pics, which i hopefully will get to put up soon. I have quite a backlog at the moment. Trying to clear it is proving harder than i thought. Well I should get back to uploading photos!
