2013 Update!!!

Hi friends and family from back home...

I am so sorry i have not updated this in nearly 5 months... wow... 5 months has gone by like that.

So I am still in Perth so not really travelling anymore. I decided to stay in perth because the job I got was really great, in Marketing App Design, Project Managerment Websites, SEO, Video Creation etc! And I am enjoying it and learning a lot too.

Mel is no longer with me, she is back in the UK living now, but I have Adam here with me only 40 minutes down the road and he works near my house so we meet up a lot which is good.

I have moved out of the hostel I was staying at and am now in a lovely apartment. I live with a girl called Debbie from New Zealand and her boyfriend Alex, who flies in flies out from the mines every 2 weeks. Debbie works at a bank and we hang out sometimes, go swimming, watch movies, mainly Pitch Perfect or Harry Potter... She's great and the first real girl mate that's staying in Perth I have.

Since I have moved out of the hostel I have felt a lot happier. I felt very down around xmas and new year because i felt quite alone and missed my mates loads but now i am moved out and spend time with people i actually want to see... I am much happier. However I don't really have many friends here apart from Adam and Debbie.

My office is in south perth and i bought a bike so i bike 30 minutes to work there and back every day which is fun! i can ride all along the river and over the bridges along the river too so its a lovely ride!..... while the weather is still good! then i will just have to do something less fun like join a gym.

I am joining (start my first class Monday) salsa lessons!!!! so i am really excited about that!! thats every monday in the city and hopefully i will get better and better and advance quickly! you guys know i looooveee to dance :) hopefully i will meet people there too.

Today I just got back from a 'MeetUp Young Women of Perth' group! for ladies who have just arrived to perth and want to make friends. I met two girls i really got on with and swapped numbers with called Louise (english, london) and Lisa (Aussy) and they are keen on meeting up again, especially for a night out on the town :) which is perfect for me! they both seem lovely! and have other mates i can meet and make mates with too. So I am really hoping that brings me a group of girly mates.

I'm also thinking about joining a netball team too, i've emailed a few clubs so i just hope they get back to me! :D

So thats about it, Im enjoying perth a lot and not really sure what to do for my bday. I am going up to margaret river for a surf festival on 23rd march weekend with adam and mitch for my bday i guess. then i may pop over to NZ in May and/or Bali.

Adam and I also have some really exciting news as of last week, we are joining forces and becoming joint business partners. we have just registered for an ABN and are trading under Liquorice Designs for Graphic Design and Web Design. We have a few clients already and things are looking great I must say. Very exciting and we are getting on great - can't wait to get to the point where we can kick back in Bali and do design from a hammock.... one day :D.... so watch this space... and pleas like our page if you have not already! https://www.facebook.com/liquoricedesigns?fref=ts
