Easter was busy, no eggs though

So we've actually had quite a busy week this week, and I haven't even been having lectures (Easter hols). On Sunday we decided to treat ourselves and blow some money(eight quid) on a day trip to the blue mountains. We packed some bread and crisps and cereal bars and water, I packed three tops and gloves (it had been 9 degrees the day before out there) and we caught a train to Katoomba. We didn't know where we were going, or what we were going to see, I'd forgotten to look at our lonely planet, so when we arrived we walked out onto the high street and kept going. Hoping that the people in front of us were going somewhere interesting and not just round to see their pals. Passed a chocolate shop, and then arrived at echo point, where there were tons of tourists looking out onto a vista of beauty, the Jamison valley. This is basically miles of trees in the bottom of the valley, and we were on one side so we had a good idea of just how huge the blue mountains park is. We saw the three sisters, which was really just some old rock and not very exciting, and then went for a walk into the bush. We saw a little waterfall, and two red parrots. We also saw loads of brits wearing t-shirts and shorts, and I was wearing my jacket and jeans.
Then more things have happened, David got offered a job working at a market research place, but doesn't start till may, is nights, and he doesn't know what the wages are. Then he got offered a pretend job (travel and meals paid for) which is where he is now. Its helping a fellow from leicester who lives in south Korea, but was brought up in Oz. He has a company selling vibration platforms (yes we know!!) and wanted some people to help him at the Sydney fitness expo. He is a nice guy, and has been treating them to lunch and dinner, and its great for David to be able to leave the house. He also has the chance to see the expo and make contacts!! So he started thurs and finishes Sunday, and I'm going to pop down on Sunday and they'll try and get me in free. Oh yeah, and if they guy actually sells one of his machines David will get two hundred and fifty bucks, more if the guy sells more, or if David personally secures a deal (which is very unlikely).
More things we are doing, have been arranging somewhere for us to move, and so we're meeting a girl on thurs to see if her house is nice. I am meant to be doing work rather than writing all this so goodbye until something else different happens. Leave us a message too.
