This blog writing business is tricky eh?! Or perhaps it is my organisational skills (or lack thereof!) Either way it is great to write and update on our progress here in Sydney.
I have a new job which I may have told you about before. I am now working as a labourer for Steve Nash of "Hire a Hubby" Double Bay - http://www.hireahubby.com.au/nsw/double-bay/
Steve works on a variety of jobs from concrete and formwork to tiling and carpentry. He loves his work and I do too. It's great to work on something different everyday and have the satisfaction of getting jobs done in a relatively short time frame. I learn something new everyday and I don't exaggerate when I say that, plus I'm building a variety of trade skills for use in the future. When Catherine and I buy our own home I will be a spring of knowledge and tradie skills. "Homes under the hammer" here we come! If you want to see some of the work I've been assisting with, you can keep up to date via the twitter feed on www.woodytom.com or follow me on twitter: @gotwood83
Catherine has been working hard at her law firm in Double Bay and has submitted her visa application. As the title of this post describes we are playing a waiting game. Provided all is well this visa approval will give us another three years in Sydney. So fingers crossed for that, if we get the visa then I am expecting visitors!
Away from work Catherine and I have been loving life. We have done a great deal of yoga and a little running. We are running every weekend with our club Achilles - www.achilles-sydney.org.au where we guide disabled/blind runners and walkers. Catherine is just getting back to running after her injury and is making great headway. I have entered Sydney marathon (September 22nd) and am back into training, which is going well. The target is 3:45, so that I beat my PB and reclaim the marathon crown from Catherine the Great!
Other than that we are enjoying a mild winter and have plans to visit Melbourne and the Blue Mountains over the next couple of months.
Wedding plans have not progressed since we were back in England in May, but we will be sending out an email with details soon. Naturally the location is dependant on our visa approval!
That's about it for now from me, but I'll pop some work photos up on my next post.
Keep smiling,
Tom :-)
