Sydney Opera House - Sunday 8th January

Sunday 8^th January

Today we went to see the Sydney Opera House and Phil won the competition of who could touch it first. We never agreed on the prize so I think I got off lightly. It was up about 40 steps so I never really stood a chance. We found out that Erykah Badu is playing a concert on 8^th and 9^th February and we’re going to see if we can get tickets. The only seats left are on the very back row of the highest tier and the tickets are 79 dollars each but since we both love Erykah Badu, and since it is the Opera House, we’re going to splash out. Besides, we’ll have been together for 5 years on 4^th February and it’s coming up to Valentines Day so we figure that it’ll be a good joint celebration.

In case you haven't heard of her, here is my favourite song featuring Erykah Badu:

Phil has found a comic shop around the corner that sells all of the DC comics that he usually reads so he’s gone back there with the regular reading list that his Farnborough comic shop, Dark Star, put together for him – he’s such a geek! I’m trying to rest my feet after the stupid amount of walking that we’ve done in the last 5 days. Without exaggeration, we’ve walked over 20 miles and my feet are killing me. I’ve told Phil that he has to give me a foot rub but he’s not really taking any notice. Sad face.

Tomorrow is Phil’s first day at work and I have to knuckle down and find myself a job. I’m amazed at how much money we have spent already and it’s starting to hit home that if we want a good lifestyle, I’m going to have to get out there and start working ASAP. They pay well out here but it’s all relative. I’d love to do something to do with writing but my experience doesn’t lie in that field. Looks like I may have to go back to FM which I really don’t want to do. I’d take any admin job if I had the opportunity. If all else fails, I know that KFC are hiring down the road ;o)
