I was up pretty early this morning, which was quite surprising.
I was on my last bits of clean clothes so I went back to my favourite Laundromat to attempt to do another wash. In this laundromat there is now only one machine working…why open?
I took clothes out of the machine that had been washed and out of fear of the person returning and being pissed that I touched their clothes I sat and read my book.
The wash finished and the person had still not come to collect their clothes. I am glad I didn’t wait for them!
I hung up my washing and took a drive out to Brighton to the Beach Bathing Boxes down at Middle Beach. The pictures that I took back in August were taken with my laptop, so I decided since it was quite a nice day I would go on down and take some more.
I then headed down to the St Kilda Pier for a walk. It’s been a while since I went down there but I love it. Even if they don’t allow dogs or cats!
Brydie…why?
I came home, relaxed in front of the TV, Lou came over for dinner and I watched a movie. Pretty dull hey!
Steph sent an email…”Hi Cath, Just a quickie - I am confused….are you leaving Oz and going to Qatar???? How long for??? Are there cities in Qatar?! Is it all desert and camels? Isn’t it like when Chandler from Friends was running away to Yemen (i.e. 15 Yemen St, Yemen)? I may need to look at a map now…Write back and let me know the score, innit?!! Sx”
Ok here is the dilly…
First of all you cheeky biatch, no it is not a desert, it’s a dessert (pudding to be precise…chocolate). Naaah just kidding, here are some pictures if you are interested. See HERE. It doesn’t look too deserty, it looks quite modern infact. I personally like the picture of the Arab with the horse. I hope to meet a horse who looks just like that! That’s Hot!
Back to the dilly…I have been offered a job in Qatar (otherwise known as Iraq by my friends here) and I am leaving May 5th. They are paying my a good salary and are paying for everything…and half of my friends from Melbourne 2006 are going too, so how bad can it honestly be. The job will start immediately and I will be there until January. So there. I will try to come home sometime in the next few years.
Steph, I will call you before I go…ok? Please email me where and when.
Lu, I loved your posting on your blog today…”There are some things that no one needs to tell you. For reasons that go beyond your understanding, you just know. Like when you have a good friend and you get to talk to her after ages, and things between you and her haven’t changed one bit, they are still the same (I love you, Cath!), and like when you have to pick up your bags and make a change. Nobody tells you these things, but you know so damn well. I hit my hand with my laundry bag out of anger today, and I got a little wound on my thumb, yet the scar will stay someplace else.”
Mate, you are so deep, are you now a hippie? Will you marry me?
