Beaches, Ice cream and Dilemmas.

No pictures in this post guys, not until I am less lethargic and update it. [I've finally added photos - as you can see(14/02/15)]

In the last few days I have been body boarding at Prevelley beach with Ivo, my German friend and Pei, my Taiwanese friend. We also had a drink in the town (Margaret River) and played some cards, chase the ace and rummy. I also went to a place called Simmos that sells all different flavoured ice-cream with two girls from "dawn sawff" (Surrey) and a German guy who teaches English and History in Germany. At Simmo's there is two Emu's that eat Ice-cream so Simon was flicking what we couldn't eat as close as he dared to the gobbling Emu's. There was also lots of drinking done this week... as every week - hostel life style, but I drink copious amounts of water and tea too. 

I finally made it to the beach down the bottom of the hostel... maybe pictures would help this make sense... soz. I went for a dip with Rusty from NZ and Emily from Canada, they got out early then Will the Londoner joined me, proper Brits enjoying the beautiful sea. Will and I swam out to the sand bank and watched the sting ray swim past, they are really big in the sea around Dunsborough. Since breaking my beach virginity I have been another time, yesterday in fact, with Marco the Italian, and AJ from Coventry (of all places!), the three of us were trying to simultaneously stand up on a board, I never even managed more than sitting for laughter. AJ and Marco managed it momentarily before going backwards in to the water, and AJ held on for dear life with his legs, that boy was determined not to fail. All it made me realise was the Rose is one selfish cow, Jack never had to die! (Titanic reference if it needs explaining.) Only problem swimming at the beach yesterday was that both Marco and I managed to get stung by jellyfish, little squidgy beggars! Marco peeled a tentacle off his arm and got a swollen lump, mine turned in to spots up my arm. Luckily I had germoline to sooth my sting, problem with that is I'm running low and it doesn't exist over here - send supplies!  

One evening I also had an overwhelming urge to make nachos, so Tuesday the people who were around got to munch on Nachos. And boy did they get munched, never seen something get inhaled so fast! I have also become addicted to chocolate whilst being over here, I keep going shopping and thinking, no! NO BECCA! don't buy chocolate, you'll munch it all. Only problem with that is I come back desperate for chocolate and I can smell it coming, like a crazed meerkat when a wrapper goes, "chocolate?!" Again, on the topic of food, Luca, an Italian, works at a place where he makes pizza and often comes back with some of the most delicious pizzas I've ever eaten and I keep having a slice or two - I will soon start to look like a pizza slice, I'm already red for the base. 

Yesterday was Mat's birthday, he's French, so he, Jeremy (he's also French) and I, went to Simmo's for an ice cream, the Emu's didn't get fed this time. Then I went fishing with Rusty, we caught all of one fish, and when I say we, I mean Rusty, as I had gone for a wee when all the action happened. It got particularly windy last night and I got a free sand exfoliation. After fishing we went off track in his 4x4 to see the lighthouse which was fun. Then I came back and with Matt and Jeremy, went out for dinner at Meat People, the food was delicious and I think the three of us could have eaten twice as much. Once we got back, it was party hats, drinks and chocolate brownie I had made, luckily it was a ready mix so not much could go wrong with it, apart from the too large a tin meaning the outer parts turned out to be more of a biscuit.

I also went to work today, and my goodness it is far too hot! I've chosen to lie on the bed with the fan on my because it's melting weather. A customer at work said "Oh wait until summer does hit"... I'm going to burn. You'll catch me skimming along the walls for shade! It's that hot I'm too exhausted to reach less than two feet to the bottom of the bed to reach my cup of tea that has been sat there for about 30 minutes and I bet it's not even cooled down one iota! 

What about the dilemma I hear you cry?! Well.. my choices are, stick around here and get all my seasonal work out of the way and spend a heap of money on a car for getting to the vineyards, or go with a guy towards Port Augusta SA and see lots of beaches and national parks along the way... I have to do 3 months of regional work, and the travel crew are leaving around the 6th of February so I haven't got long to make a decision on what to do there. Your answers on a postcard, or comment, or WhatsApp... hell, just give me your opinion! I need some help in making my decision...
