Happy New Year!

Well folks! 2007 has regenerated, Doctor Who-like, into 2008 and my what a year she was too... and Simian-escapades aside, I had lots of fun running around the world.... X-mas and New Year were very enjoyable; We spent the New Year in a very Posh event with a great view; Katya's Parents were over and after the INSANE Sydney fireworks we partied on to about 5 in Spectrum (our new favourite dive of a club) and ended up very worse for wear on Coogee beach at about 6!

And so things were seeming to flow back into the usual until more exciting and tremendous news hit... I have a new job...Due to some freeing up of positions, I currently have the position of Senior Supervisor with the Investor Relations company I have been working for, looking to take over as Call Centre Manager, after a three month probation period...Huzzah! The place is one of the more positive places I have worked so I am looking forward to the challenge and getting stuck in...

As you may gleam from this, they would be considering, all things going hunky-dory, that they would sponsor me (and with Katya on a defacto), so it may be a while before I am home....but it will be an encouragement for you all to visit...!


...and then we managed to get tickets to see Rage Against the Machine last Tuesday! Holy several shades of mackeral...one of the best gigs I have ever been to, they were simply on another planet....loud and very aggressive and exactly what you would hope they would be!! See. This.Band

and I finally got to see the Police live! and they were also very good (in a whole 'big gig' way...but if Sting ever plays the pan pipes that close to me again, I'm gonna puck him in the mouth!)

Lots of pics over the next few days (and hopefully some I can get some Rage footage I took onto You Tube!)...and we got internet in the flat, so more posts I promise!

See ye soon...
