Castle of New shitness

09March2010

So we been in Newcastle for 3 days and its been interesting. The first day I told you about loosing my phone. Well the next day I decided to phone the train station and see if they had it, well they didn’t. So Tarryn and I woke up at about 11am on Tuesday and got dressed and ready to go to the shops to get me a new phone. I asked Andrew how much he thinks a phone would be and he said not under $50 so I was pretty bummed cause my last sim cost me $10 so I kind of budgeted for $60. When we got to the shop I found a place that sold phones and I got one for $42 and a sim for $2. So that was way less than what I budgeted for. We then went and bought some groceries. On our way back we took the trolley with us an while we were pushing it I was in front of it pulling and it rammed into the back of my one ankle. It took off so much skin and it was so painful. Well we got home and cleaned it and ate some food before we walked to Merewether. Well that walk was so long and it was so hot. We were hating life and decided that in future we are hiking or taking the bus home. WALKING IS OUR LAST OPTION…. We got there and registered and got our ABN sorted. Then we went for a surf and got a lift home with one of the officials. They were all so nice and helped us out so much. They even offered us a lift in the mornings. We got home and Becci and Andrew were here and we just chilled and got to sms home. I was so happy, I felt lost without my phone. I was missing my home people…. We then went to bed and there was some kind of screaming match outside our window, but I went back to sleep pretty easily. Tarryn couldn’t sleep though.

The next morning we got up at 6:30 and got ready for the beach. Tarryn wasn’t very happy cause she didn’t really get sleep. We had some breakfast and got a lift with Becci to the contest. When we got there I wanted to get in the water straight away so I went to go get dressed, then Tarryn came and got dressed and we went for a surf. It wasn’t my best surf but I did have fun and learn heaps about the break. When we got out we some how got a warm shower organized and got dressed. We went to watch the contest and when it started getting cold we went to the tent where lunch was meant to be served at 12. It only came at 12:30 and we sat there for an hour and a half waiting to eat so we could go home. FREE FOOD CAN’T BE LEFT. So when we walked out we asked where a bus stop was and the one guy offered us a lift again, so stoked. We got home and took some photos with Tarryn’s computer and I got really sleepy so I went to lie down. I slept for about an hour and then woke up when Tarryn woke me to do something. It was raining now and so amped to get straight back into bed. Owe well she at least made me tea. Shot Tarryn…. We finally got up and went to a cafe and got on the net. We had some tea and shared a brownie. So cute, our new method to not eating bad things if we share its half the price and half the calories.

What boredom does to us

This is how we pout

This is Tarryn when she is 98
