GOING TO SCOTLAND

I am going to Scotland on Tuesday. My mate Andy runs a bar in Edinburgh so i dare say i will go and have a beer with him. Taking the bus up there, it only cost me 15quid. Can't wait to check out the countryside on the way there.

The Mighty Cronulla Sutherland Sharks are playing the storm (no caps deliberate) tomorrow morning. I am catching up with an old school mate, and my mate Phil who is from around my way in Sydney is staying at the hostel with me too.

Should they win and get into the grand final i am going to cry, missing them being in the grand final would be absolutely devestating and winning.

Sorry Mum im getting a Tattoo if i cannot go to the game and they are premiers.

Yes its Halloween, and they take it seriously in London.

Anyway i went to Edingburgh with the intention of staying there and it looked like i was going to be able to score some work soonish. I heard back from an Agency that had me go for an interview some weeks previous. Unfortunatley i needed the money back and it was guaranteed so i went back to London. I only got to scratch the surface when i was there, i will go back one day.

Anyway here are some photo's





This is a monument in Edingburgh to celebrate the relationship between a man and his dog. The man passed away and for the rest of the dog's natural life he stayed put right at the man's gravesite. It was quite a number of years.



This is where i stayed in Edinburgh. This hostel was well clean and the people there were fantastic. I could not recommend this place enough, this is where my mate Andy lives.



The English are a fantastic bunch of people. They taxed people in Scotland for the amount of sunlight that went into their premises. Easy solution to that, brick up the windows.



Yes i ate Haggis, it was brilliant with that whiskey sauce.

FIRST WALL IN THE UK

Aks i painted at Milton Keynes skatepark. Good street park. Sorry about the picture but it is dark when we finished and not very well lit.

FREE RENT

I have been in London just over 2 weeks now. Still looking for a job, nothing suitable appears to be coming up just yet. By all accounts it is a difficult time for it, i know some professional people that i am staying with at the hostel who are much in the same boat. I may have to bite the bullet, pull my head in and do something much my junior, but then again am i here to travel! Im now finding not having a steady job and money coming in rather strange, despite my dislike for the rat race per se'. London is expensive, those things aside i am having a great time! The hostel im staying in at Kensington is great plenty of young and those young at heart to hang out with. I'm learning a lot about the travelling life and picking up a lot of tips on how to survive. Sure i still have a fair bit of coin in reserve but i worked WAY to hard to get that behind me and dont want to rest on those laurels.

Ricky who runs this hostel got me to paint some boards up for the hostel for some free rent. Im going to be doing another couple of boards and a canvas for him till i find some work.
