All the latest in London- Birthday Celebrations.

Heya to all you guys back home reading this, I want to wish those of you with HSC exams all the best of luck over the coming weeks and for those of you who are working well take a shot of cement and harden up caus its the real world haha. Seriously though guys I'm missing you all loads epically over the last weekend with my 19th birthday just come and gone, would have been good to celebrate it with some familiar faces. I can't believe its been a year alrea

The last few weeks has been HECTIC to say the least. After I got back from Hillsong Conference we began the mission of moving house. With less than a week to my birthday I was keen to get out of the old house and into the new one ASAP. With the help of 6 other men and 3 trucks we had all the gear shifted within 24hours but unpacking it was another story altogether!


As Friday loomed closer and with it my last day of being 18 I made some pretty rough sketchy plans for a good weekend out in London. Turned out to be the greatest birthday weekend ever! Compared to Sitting in a Mathematics examination this time last year it didn't have much to live up to. Friday morning I made my way into London with dad on route to the 'Metro Ski & Snowboard Show' at Olympia where I picked up some ace gear for this coming season in Canada but with sweet gear comes a hefty price tag. Thankfully it was my birthday though and so all my (birthday and Christmas) presents came from this show. Luckily too- with goggles alone costing $250 AUD and gloves a close second on $180 AUD. I also picked up some thermal gear and the best is yet to come I still haven't brought my actual board, bindings, jacket, pants or boots. The morning of the 24th before I headed up to London I got a Happy Birthday call from mum and with it some GREAT news. Tax man likes me this year with a nice tax return of $1157 AUD that will go a long way in helping me get kitted out with some more boarding gear.

Friday night I went out for dinner with the family to an Italian restaurant and retired home for some cake and champagne. It was about this time that I wish you guys were here to share some drinks with me! Even so we were up till 2am on the Wii talking the night away.

Saturday morning came...... and went. Saturday afternoon I arose from bed. (haha lame)
But after a nice sleep in I woke up for some breakfast left my cousins place and got the train over to my sisters place in Brentford (London). Where I met up with Jessicaaaaa 'ohhh chicka chicka'. Tonight was the night we had been waiting for... you know when your so desperate to see someting that even when tickets are SOLD OUT and sales staff tell you that your 6months too late for booking you still try to screw with the system and get what you want? Okay so maybe its just me but a show being SOLD OUT certainly was not going to stop me going! After a few days of serious thought of just winging it and telling them that I lost my ticket, or just simply jumping the baracades if they tried to stop me entering, I decided against my thoughts considering Brixton is one of the 'most dangerous suburbs of London to walk at night' I came up with a plan, a plan that might just work and legally too!

I grabed my trusty laptop and typed the letters E.B.A.Y into google.And there it was my answer to prayer 2x MIGHTY BOOSH LIVE ON STAGE TICKETS what more could I ask for on my birthday weekend. So Jess and I once again had the problems we had at Hillsong COnference with tube lines across London down, and so the trip to the Brixton Arena took about 40minutes longer than it should have but every second waiting on that tube line was worth it when Vince and Howard walked out on stage!

What followed was a night of crazy crimps "bouncy bouncy oh such a good time" extreme lighting, ridiculous costumes and endless laughs at the hilarious stupidity that only the Boosh can conjure!

But thats only Friday & Saturday! Sunday morning Jess and I woke up and headed out across London to Hillsong Church in Tottenham Court Road (but not before having the most AH-MAZE-ING breakfast ever cooked by the one and only Johny. It was like heaven in my mouth) At Church we met up with Danni =] After a great service and amazing worship from their new album 'Hail to the King' we were on the move again. This time a trio and on our way to Waterloo Station. Jess caught a train home for the Isle of White and Danni and I made our way back to my new house in the village of Hook. Where come Tuesday night it was SNOWING!!!! brrrr so maybe I should have been trying out those new gloves but I was to busy dodging snowballs from dad to even worry. And so the snow fight began, T-shirt, shorts and bare feet the true Aussie way!!!

And now I've finally settled into a job renovating our house, not without problems though with huge wasp nests found in the attics. "Ok so they are in the attic so what?" well picture this your in the shower singing along to your favourite tune (the mighty boosh crimps of course) and all of a sudden wasps start dropping down through the light fittings in the roof!!

Oh let the good times roll! And of course as usual all of this crazy mayhem (except maybe the shower) was recorded on video so keep an eye out I'll let you know when its uploaded!
