When you scan the radio, I hope this song will guide you home...

Hello World Cup fever! I don't usually care about soccer but I do admit that I was a little excited when Australia didn't lose to Croatia. Unfortunately I was standing behind this bar at the time.

Last night we saw the Flaming Lips + Massive Attack at our first ever British festival in Hyde Park! The crowds over here are rude and pretty frustrating. Seriously, did somebody neglect to teach these people basic concert ettiquite? Whatever, it was still pretty great!

Greetings from Wayne aka best guy ever.

Of course there was lots of stuff floating around.

Dani swoons over the love of her life.

Last weekend we went and saw the Grates play at this club called Frog.

Beforehand we went for drinks at the sweet apartment where Dani is staying. This may also have involved lots of talk about Perth and dancing to pop songs. I have a feeling this was Big Sur. Yeahhh, let's try create Amplifier in a lounge room with 3 people and nobody to twirl us!

2 litre bottle of Strongbow = classy.

The wait for ridiculously overpriced alcohol that usually ends up being spilt when some geezer bumps into you, which happens a lot.

Love

Token London photo. I only realised the other day that this is like a 5 minute walk from my pub job. I say 'pub job' because I now also have an 'office job'. It's in the prime location of Oxford Circus which is bad because I'm always tempted to spend all of my money on pretty clothes. I may have also given the impression that I'm staying for 2 years, not less than 2 months. My bad.

Hello!

So other than just working all the time so we don't become homeless, we have managed to get up to a few things. Look!

So many great bands have played here recently, and we've been lucky enough to get tickets and go along. It's an amazing venue in Camden called Koko, aka my new favourite place.

The other day it was a bank holiday, and it was also our housemate's 25th birthday. We gave him lots of shit for being old then had a bit of a celebratory bbq. It's understandable to mistake the sausages for pieces of charcoal, and the guy cooking is a chef! I wouldn't recommend going to his restaurant.

Afterwards we went and played golf. My god I suck at golf and I now think it is the worst sport in the world. This was probably my 13th shot or something ridiculous on a hole with par-4. Then we went and got ridiculously drunk. What a day.

Okay on Saturday we went on a trip to Brighton. What a place!

The edge of this country is rocky, not sandy.

It's also surprisingly comfortable and excellent for picnicing as sand doesn't get absolutely everywhere.

Then I saved Kate's life OMGLOL

As we all know I don't really do rides, but was convinced to go on this rollercoaster on the pier. Luckily there was some little girl who screamed really loud so I looked slightly less stupid. Slightly.

Pretty good to get out of London hey!

We went for a walk past all the little beach huts and were saying 'if we owned one of these we would fill it with picnic goods and just hang out and eat all day'. Then we came across these people so we switched into stealth mode and took stalker photos of them.

We scored some great weather, but as we were waiting for our bus it suddenly got sososo cold. This is at around 9p.m. Don't let the apparent daylight deceive you. It was cold! All in all though, Brighton was great! All of you who are coming to London in the near future will have to come back with us! yay.

One night, after watching the brilliant Western Derby in our favourite pub, the Walkabout [ha!], a certain rang picked up a random magazine which featured a page on upcoming european festivals. This small moment may have been enough to considerably change our plans.

Basically, we are probably no longer moving to Scotland and will be staying in London after all. I just don't think I'm motivated enough to pack up and start all over again. New city. New people. New transport System. More unemployment...no thanks! As exciting as it all is, it is also hard to have to do it twice within a couple of months.

Instead we are trying to go to this hottt looking festival in Spain! All that's holding us back is the price of flights. I may rob a bank so financial strain will stop standing in my way!

Whilst yesterday was our 2 week anniversary with London, it was also our 1 week anniversary with our house in Acton! It comes with some very nice housemates, but also the most atrocious shower you have ever seen. You think Gracetown is bad? Try this one, you have experienced nothing! Gracetown is pure luxury in comparison...belive me.

I'm still in love with the tube. It should be made the 8th wonder of the world, and if that's not possible, they should just get rid of one of the other seven. What good are pyramids anyway, seriously? Perth has a LOT to learn about public transport.

So yeah, we've just been working for the man and stuff, which is okay I guess...and we finally made it to Wimbledon for a night of hangouts with James. Pubs here have appropriate names!

Saturday night pre-drinks are still alive and well! What makes it even better is that the canned beer was bought from BP, and at the time we were unemployed.

That's right. WERE unemployed. We got jobs in some pub doing bar/waiting stuff, which means ridiculously bad pay. So now we are trying to get out of the ghetto and into our own place. Sometimes it's too much effort to live, but watch out London! Party time soon!

We are quickly running out of the cash in this city!

But for those of you planning on coming over, or are already here, we are now contactable!
Me : 07758676139
Kate: 07757968960

If you are in oztralya and want to spend an exorbidant amount of money on phonecalls or text messages, you drop that first zero (like it's hot) and add 44.

SOMEBODY GIVE ME A GOOD JOB PLEASE!

Okay, wow England, way to be cold and have maximum temperatures of 10 degrees. We are currently staying in Fulham with Raynee's brother {lifesaver!!} and don't have jobs, bank accounts or our own place to stay. Awesome! I don't really have much to say about London as we haven't been here that long, so now I will reminisce about the WARM weather that was Koh Samui.

This place was in fact so warm and tropical, that the water near the shore was unbearably hot. Like a goddam bath. This was our quest to find deeper water that we actually wanted to swim in. It was nice.

We became the laziest people ever, and spent most of our time on the beach doing nothing and saying "no thankyou" to just about every person that tried to sell us something. I think a lot of little Thai people tried to sell us drugs, but we weren't really too sure. There was some dude who sold pineapple and mango, he was our favourite and we stalked him quite a bit. Anway, when we weren't on the beach we basically hung out at our cool little bungalow with Harry. In the next bungalow, there was some little Thai lady with her not so little, not so Thai male friend. There was a LOT of that going on. Hot.

The food. So cheap, so good. Every night restaurants were set up all along the beach, and we visited frequently to say the least. The cocktails were also really cheap and pretty strong. Kate was highly impressed by her cocktail that came in a coconut, but she didn't finish it because she isn't hardcore.

Now we must eat and try to organise our lives. Enjoy Perthtown!
