What's been going on..

I have decorated our house for Christmas! Hello kitchen roll Christmas Wreath! We also have the top of a Christmas tree that is propped up on a chair in the bay window, so I'd say we're in full festive spirit.

When you don't have TV or internet, you have to make do with what you can find. So we've had some very interesting evening entertainment...

We have an oven!! It's very old and very rubbish and is either insanely hot or cold, but it is an oven none the less. So I made cookies =] We have a slight obsession with cookies and cream ice cream (as in we eat half a tub every night, not even bothering with bowls) and hot, freshly baked cookies makes it so much better!! It also makes the house smell much better than the usual boy smell!

A gardener came and cut back our garden. It was an overgrown jungle that we were afraid to set foot in for fear of snakes and spiders. Now we can see it is huge, with different levels, a big washing line, a patio area and even a herb garden and vegetable beds. We also discovered this 'little' fellow.

I've been doing more acro yoga, this time on a very crowded Bondi Beach. Yep, even in December the sky is this colour and even the breeze is hot.

 And the best part...
After a ridiculously long interview process and auditions, I have a job at Luna Park, the iconic theme park down on the water at Sydney Harbour. It's an incredible place to be, looking out on the harbour bridge and the opera house, with boats sailing past. I am a rides operator, so it's my job to check the rides first thing, ensure guests are strapped in properly, start and stop the rides.

The park was first opened in the 1930s, and it has retained all of it's classic charm. All the original artwork and a lot of the rides remain. While it has been done up and reopened after a massive fire burnt the place down in the 70s, it's still very old school.

Today was my second day and I had a man fall down a 40ft slide while attempting to get into his mat. And then, I managed to break an entire ride ! My supervisor who was checking I knew what I was doing asked me to turn it off. I did. But then we couldn't turn it back on. Oops.
