instructions for use

Put the kettle on, get the biscuits out and make yourself comfortable. Before we begin, let's have an introduction. You're you, I'm Sven and this is my guide to life. First rule: don't take my advice. I procrastinate, I prefer savoury food to sweets, and I would spend my last penny on fabulous shoes if the right pair came along. That said, like that box full of crap in the bottom of your wardrobe, there might be something useful in here somewhere...

What am I doing now?

Holiday snaps: week 2

Back in Sydney after a week travelling the country: spent a few days with Pipsqueak and Dan and their gorgeous daughter Izzy before heading up to Queensland to rejoin the family for a bit of sunshine and a relax (though the latter was harder than it seemed; remind me to discuss the challenges of a family holiday once I get back to the UK, not to mention the restrictions of the UK banking system whilst abroad).

Nonetheless, I am still having an amazing time; how many days of the week do you get to swim in a river straight off the mountain in the middle of a rainforest?  And much to everyone’s amazement, I have been eating crocodile, soft-shelled mud crabs (you eat the whole thing: shells, claws and everything) and later this week I plan to snack out on some kangaroo.  On the other hand the mosquitos have been eating me, but what are a few bites when you can spend the whole week on the beach in the middle of winter?

One more week here, my birthday on Thursday and then homeward bound.  Back in Blighty for the weekend.  Boooooo.
