Things I miss

- The fam

Obviously had to be top of the list, don't wanna piss anyone off with my birthday approaching! ;) Haha but seriously a lot of things aren't the same when you're on your own - Christmas and New Year as events that usually revolve around the family are obviously strange but even little things that no one else really gives a shit about like getting a cold or ripping your trousers!

- My Lionel Richie mug.

I just want a mug that is used solely by me and isn't too small like every bastarding mug seems to be. I refer to my mug back home which is the ideal size for a brew and has a picture of Lionel Richie's face with "Hello, is it tea you're looking for?" written on it. Comedy Gold.

- Wearing my jacket.

I got bought this jacket by Nana for my birthday but since I left in October it's only come out once in Melbourne for a few chilly days. Hasn't been worn enough and its gunna be bloody summer when I'm back in England so won't be able to wear it for another 6 months (although knowing English summers maybe I will). 

- Computer

This really should be top of the list. It's such a convenience that I thought I could do without by bringing along an iPad mini but honestly doing things (mainly job searching) on a laptop would've been much faster. I'm lucky I could borrow Aaron's for 5 months.?

- Internet

Wifi in Australia is shit. Not just free wifi which is shit everywhere but even in peoples homes! Utter shite. Couldn't even stream TV series in Sydney.

- Good headphones 

Haven't heard good quality music in a loooong while.

- The pound coin

The pound was such a staple unit of currency. I used it almost every day so it's weird to think that I haven't held a pound coin in my hand for over six months.

- Cheap beer

If you follow the blog you know my habit has been to drink goon rather than beer. This is not only because goon is dirt cheap but also because beer is expensive. You're paying double the UK price basically - £25 a crate!

- Pints

It's all schooners here - a mere 3/4 of a pint, just isn't the same. A pitcher has just over 3 schooners in so like 2.5 pints! Nowhere near the usual 4! 😭😭😭

- Ale

Nuff said

- Pork sausages

THEY EAT BEEF SAUSAGES?! Why?! Pork sausages are like a specialty and nasty beef sausages are the norm. Not on.
