So at home its Father's Day on Sunday, something my lovely family neglected to tell me until Monday!!! So I did some very last minute internet shopping and I fink I found him something he'll like! It's a t-shirt from an Irish website called Road Race Ireland of all his favourite road racers TT wins! For those of you who don't know what the TT is it's an annual motorbike road racing event in the Isle of Mann. So yes hopefully that will arrive on time, and I of course turned to my old faithful Moonpig to sort out a card! I really do have too much fun making those cards! I already have his birthday card made for July! Back to my normal organisation! Ahh! So anyway, I ramble, here's a picture of the t-shirt, I think it looks rather like the Jack Daniels t-shirt too which is cool!
This month we've started to talk about our options for staying here. So we either have to do our farm work, hopefully before summer or we'll bake out in the heat all day, and get to stay here for a second year or else Conor's boss is talking about possibly sponsoring him so that we could stay as long as we like, which is not something we can turn down without a lot of thought, if it does happen! So we've been trying to weigh everything up and decide what we want! It kind of all depends on whether Conor wants to go back to college or not, because if he does it would be Sept '13 that he would be hoping to start, meaning he would have to go through an interview for a place on the course as a mature student, most likely in February '13! I think! Ahh!! We have put all the options on the table and not ruled out or decided on any! We're extremely organised as a couple in case you haven't guessed that already! But we have decided that if he does get sponsored and he's not going for the college interview this year, we will go home for Christmas which would be lovely! Although either way we'll be going home, because he will not be going home without me in February! Ha! Least I've decided on one thing!
So my hours in work have been cut, which I'm pretty disappointed with but not too much I can do really but I think I shall have to get back on to SEEK and start looking for a new job, perhaps something Mon-Fri so I'll actually get to spend my weekends with Conor and get to do stuff with other people for my days off!!! Oh the novelty! Ha!
So in line with my shorter hours and the fact that we are struggling to save money, we are going to look for an apartment with cheaper rent in the next few weeks! Although we love this apartment and how close it is to everything we reckon it makes sense! And there seems to be a few nice ones going at the moment for at least $100 cheaper a week!! I'll take that, and possibly run with it! So hoping to get a place with another couple and hopefully not as much of a disaster as our current housemates! The Irish ones are great craic but the Chileans are kind of hard work! They aren't the most thoughtful about when they bring people around and they are constantly stoned or having people over to get stoned! Even midweek which is a bit shit because we all work midweek, especially poor Conor who gets up at 5.30 every morning! So yes they're driving us a little nuts! So we reckon all of these things are good reasons to pack up and move on!!
I have been having loads of fun with Instagram for the last month and now I'm using a colour splash app too so I feel a bit stuck to my phone, although I really only do it on my tram rides or when I'm on my own, otherwise I would be just plain antisocial!! I'm constantly looking for things I can take photos of or mess around with which is cool too but I feel a bit lame at times just stopping to take photos!! But anyway, here's some of my favourite pics! The top row are my Colour Splash pics and then the rest are the instagram ones!
So they're not great by most standards, but I'm pretty fond of them! Ha!
So yes, there's my ramblings for today, and seems as how it's now 00.50 I think it's time I hit the hay! Good night people!!
Amy :)
