INSOMNIA
When ur kept up till all hours by loud and drunken house mates, then only to be awoken at 6ish by alarms and other people getting ready for work, well, one doesn't really sleep. I've come to the conclusiuon that shared accomodation is rather hard, specially when ur sharing a bloody room. Didn't work today, called in sick and opted for sleep whilst everyone was out. Natural History Museum in Kensington was pretty good late this afternoon. Got a call from the temp agency to, apparently work isn't to happy at me taking another day off. Don't beleive im ill rather just been partying to hard. Guess i have but not last night anyway. What can i do? I was'nt up to it, no sleep, feeling run down and you try spend day after day doing filing? How's that song by Animals go again? Ah Yes? '" Weee gotta get outta this place"

ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER DOLLAR
Saving cash seems hard these days. I need it to fund my next little adventure whever that may be, but when your earning £200 a week, once you pay rent, food and money for going out your really left with nothing. I suppose i could sacrifice a night out here and there or whatever but impulse spending is to hard to resist dammit. Always something going on and a chance to head down the pub. Went out Friday night with Kelly and Macca from Contiki. Huge night and spent lots. Camden markets on Sunday followed by a catch up session with Cath 'n' Ness which led to yet more money wasted on the bar. Movies tonight, American Pie 2, cause well I hadn't been in a while and just felt like it. If only i could resist the impulse and stay in. Perhaps then i could jet off to Scotland or wherever much sooner. Wworks boring as and i guess once i knock off i need something to do to keep me entertained. I'm really missing the hot weather now to. Relaxing on a beach would be nice.

LONDON
What can I say, this trip has lived up to every expectation. A week in Austria and Germany for Octoberfest, and a weekend back in Paris just gone. All since my last entry. Now I'm working in a boring office job, but hey it pays the rent and bills, living in a funky shared appartment in Knightsbridge and hoping to stay on here for a while longer yet. It's all good.

BACK IN IRELAND
Spent the last week back in Ireland doing a Southern tour. Last minute decision that proved worthwhile. Met some really great people, some of whom I intend to keep in touch with. Already planning a weekend away in Paris. Oh the joys of European travel... Had this Irish tourdriver named Don who was pretty funny. The Irish are such great people. Naturally by day we saw the sights and whatever and by night we boozed up. Few people from Melbourne as well as some girls from West Aussie and New Zealand proved to be heaps of fun and great company. Majority were female on this trip. Can't say i had anything to complain about there. Two nights in Dublin after the tour to kick on with the others and wind down. I love that city.
I'm still feeling I'll from the news in New York. I'll never forget that day i think. Was in Glendore in the country's west. As we headed into a pub we noticed everyone sitting around the television in the corner. At first it was like a movie. The towers had been struck by hijacked planes and as we watched the television in silence and shock the towers fell down before our eyes. Surreal is a good word i suppose. Tragic and unfair probably a better description. We were supposed to spend some 20 minutes at that pub. Ended up being 2 hours.

AT THE END OF THE WORLD
Excess partying takes it toll. It's finally catching up to me and i need a few days of good rest. In London now staying with Simon in his little basement flat. There are pubs everywhere here and avoiding a drink is rather hard. Went and caught U2 in Birmingham during the week and it was probably the most amazing gig i have ever seen. The emotion and intensity of it all was far beyond what i had expected.

IN POMMY LAND
After a 22 hour flight i'm in desperate need of a shower and a lay down. Can't check in until 2pm (now 11am), think i'll walk around and stuff. A few pints at the pub to watch the Rafter final could be a good option. This city is strange, so old compared to back home. Oh and it's expensive to.
