Work & Play!

Well here we are again, & it's time to work!
Since leaving Yeppoon,
We are having trouble picking up jobs at the same time, well actually we havent even worked
 since leaving there!!!
 In Bowen i could of started straight away in the nursing home around the corner form our park!
Mark had trouble finding anything!
Now we are in townsville, i cant find anything!
 Mark started with a builder in town & looks set for a couple of months work, which will then see us 
heading to this
 Long Awaited & Highly Anticipated 
Top End of Australia!!

I have been everywhere here & i cant believe they are not in need of aged care nurses!!!
 I also have applied in the corner shops around the area.
I called into Pips home made pie shop up the road the other day & asked if she had any positions going, she said no sorry, i replied that's okay & started walking out the door, she called me back & said oh wait i may have something come back on Friday...........So first thing Friday morn i go back up to Pip's place,
 & it turns out pips daughter is in town & she is going to be doing the job!
 Now that is the Pips!!

Mark just rang me before & said that a builder back in Bowen wants him to start work!
He is a week too late!
We are having a bit of trouble getting this timing right!
Oh well!
 No dramas it will all fall into place!!
That i am sure of!!!!
Meanwhile i am just enjoying this great spot here,
Townsville is very different!
I caught the bus yesterday to go into town & do some shopping, i got into the city mall & then had to get on another bus out to the shopping centre as there is very limited shopping in the city, it's more businesses!
Lots of Indigenous people up here also & cops, oh my god they are everywhere & just
cruise around the streets.
They even cruise through our caravan park!

I love this park the amenities are brand new, & the site we have is huge, pretty & private, 
We are not on top of anyone else,which is usually the case in caravan parks!

We are lucky!
Townsville is on level 1 water restrictions which means you can only use a sprinkler on odd days!
Far out i said to mark i cant remember the last time we used a sprinkler back home, would have to be
years ago! We couldnt even use a hose, our dams are that dry!!

People walk around with cozzies on & towels over their shoulders either heading up to the pool for a swim, or maybe across the road to the beach for a dip!
Unbelievable climate, when i use to think winter, i would imagine it was freezing everywhere!
Well not here in Nth Queensland!
They certainly don't need daylight saving up here either!
It doesn't get dark till after 6pm in the evening!
Everyday, when the weather forecast comes on, i think it is a recorded message as the guy says.....
Today's forecast is going to be 27 degrees.
It is 27 degrees everyday!

Well as it is now the weekend,
I feel Husband should get the rods rigged up & we head off tomorrow to do some
Serious Fishing!!!
Enough of this mucking around pretend stuff!
I am going to have to take control & hall in the biggies,
 cause i think husband has lost his knack!
I have yet to see him catch a
Big Fish!
 I have only heard about the ones that got away!
It's time for a challenge Husband.........Who will be the first to get something over 60cm ????
Shazza is going for the Barra!
