survey in Melbourne

Came in to work this morning, and I got this email from my close friend at work back in Australia:

Dear Trouble,

I have taken a survey in Melbourne and no one wants you to come back….particularly Emmett!

Thought you should know.

*Sydney Boy*

Too funny! He has always called me Trouble, and is probably missing me a lot and counting down the days to my return! hahaha.. Sydney boy is a very dear friend of mine. We were able to meet up in London back in September, which was great. We are constantly texting each other, which drives Grumpy nuts. But thing is, he is your typical Australian gay friend!! He is based in Sydney, but was in Melbourne working with me for about a year. He loved.. absolutely loved, drawing on my arm. I used to go home with pen marks all over my arm, and Grumpy would literally go "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON AT WORK?!" hahahaThis is his work (see below), although this time, not on my arm:

If there's one thing I look forward to upon my return to work in the circus in Melbourne, it would have to be the good friends I have in the Melbourne office..

It is all about me

Time flies so quickly.. I can't believe it. I've only got 3 more weeks left here in Ireland, I'm running out of time! So much to do, both at work and at home (haven't packed at all).

I've been working til late most nights, stressing out and stuff.

After work I go home, too lazy to do anything, I grab takeaway, and watch Dawson's Creek DVDs. 

But no complains to be honest, I'm enjoying my remaining time here in Dublin. 

Weekends, it is all about me. 

Saturdays - I wake up, then I go for a run around the canal (temperatures are about 2 degrees, I swear I look like a running eskimo), then I get some breakfast, then I'm off shopping in town for the entire day. Shopping in Dublin is amazing... expensive, but it is great because they have so many wonderful labels here which we don't get back in Australia. For clothes, I love to go to Topshop, H&M and Zara. A lot of my food shopping I do at Marks & Spencer foodhall. Seriously I could just live there. They make great microwavable meals - all portions for one (sad, I know). They are actually quite pricey, but what the hell.. thats why I get an allowance here in Europe anyways. I don't buy fruits & veggies in its natural form anymore, I get the ready cut and mixed ones from M&S, packed in nice containers, it makes life so much easier! I love M&S!

Sundays - I sleep in and I run in the afternoons instead. After a run, I fill up the tub with hot water, pour all the bath foams from my Europe hotels collection, I bring my macbook into the bathroom (I can only imagine Grumpy's face if I accidently drop it in the tub!), pop my Duffy CD and just soak in my bubble bath til I prune!

Reality is, as much as I'm loving everything as it is at the moment,  I don't think I can live like this forever, I will end up broke, and become a lonely spinster. 

Although, I am sure of this >>> give me a month (tops) back in Australia, and I will wish I am back here in Dublin!
