I have spent my four remaining days in new south wales in newcastle, 2 hours north of sydney...it's not a pretty town....it's harbour is drowning in cranes and shipping freighters....it's known to be a rough place, fights on the streets....a drug town....a coal town...
but for me it holds some mates that mean the world to me, boys with hearts of gold, and i have come here to take a breath, relax, to just be 'me' amongst friends who know me very very well and to prepare for 2009....
so i've slept in, i've shopped, i've lazed on beautiful beaches watching the boys surf, i've read books, i've cooked, i've taken myself to arty, bohemian movies and i've drunk and danced the night away loads of fun people...
the boys have a lot of friends! this apartment, my latest home, ashman and nikia's place, is a busy one - there's always someone coming or going, laughter, a phone ringing, texts - 'what are you doing - wanna come for a drink???' it's great but it was nice tonight to get away from it all, to have pizza just with ashman at a pub in stockton, overlooking the harbour...talking...it may be a year, maybe more till i'm back in this part of the world and able to spend time with my dear friend again - i feel the pressure to make the most of it...
tomorrow, back to queensland. this time in australia is flying past....3 more weeks in queensland then we hit the road again....
stay tuned. xxx
