My lack of regular updates recently perhaps reflects the lack of activity I’ve experienced in Marvel Loch over the last five days. Not much has happened. At all. Monday night was thoroughly interesting and enjoyable as the weekly shift change brought a busy night to the pub with lots of laughter, some debaucherous behaviour and … More Day 23 And It’s All Quiet On The Western Front
Friday came and went…blah blah…a tedious morning followed by a pretty boring afternoon…although I did manage to get slightly sunburnt on my face so every cloud and all that. But Saturday…well…Saturday was just spectacular. Having never fired a gun, rode a dirt bike through crop fields and over a motorcross track, having never driven a … More It’s Day Nineteen and I Lost Four Virginities!
By golly, it’s Day 17 already and I’m sorry to say I don’t have a lot to tell you. Well, that’s not strictly true, I have loads I “could” tell you, but I think divulging my extra-curricular activities could maybe prove a little too saucy for this blog, and for fear of alienating a younger … More Day Seventeen in Marvel Loch
It’s been a tad drab here lately. The weather hasn’t been living up to my Western Australian standards, in fact it’s been slightly bi-polar which is frustrating (constant rain, wind and bitter cold, speckled with short bursts of sunshine) and I’ve been feeling particularly lethargic and lacking in energy. Instead of wanting to get outdoors … More Day Fifteen In Marvel Loch
On Tuesday night we had a fire. Don’t worry though, it wasn’t an actual “my house is burning down, save the kids and that photo of Aunty Beryl” kind of fire; exciting things like that don’t happen in Marvel Loch. No, this was a pit fire. A pit fire in the bush…with alcohol! Trine and … More Days all blend together in good old Marvel Loch
It’s the end of my first week in Marvel Loch (The Town Midas Touched) and any pre-conceived doubt I had about coming here has been well and truly eradicated. In fact, I’ve quite enjoyed being out in the country away from the rat-race, cut off from society; and despite my tendencies to piss and moan … More Week One in Marvel Loch – Content and pleasantly surprised
So today I had to get up early. And by early I don’t mean like 5:30am, haha, oh no, I of course mean 7:30am (which is early enough). The reason, you may ask, as to why I needed to rise at such an ungodly hour when I only started work at 5pm? Well well well, … More Day Four in my new favourite place – some light reflection in Mining Land…
In coming to Western Australia during the height of winter, I thought I’d made the ultimate choice; I thought I would’ve hit the jackpot in regards to the weather, as everyone knows Perth and a lot of WA are renowned for being hot all the time, right? Erm…WRONG! To say I have been unpleasantly surprised … More It’s Cold: Day Three in Marvel Loch
You know when the weather during the Great British Summertime decides to do what it usually does and blow an almighty gale and insist on pissing down with incessant rain to the point where you fear your chimney pots might blow off and your fence panels will end up in next doors garden? Yeah well … More Day Two in Marvel Loch: a daytrip to The Big Smoke and a hell of a lot of rain
Ok, so it’s far from being the actual “outback”, and it’s about as far from the Red Centre as Manchester is from Warsaw (don’t quote me on that by the way, I ain’t GoogleMaps), but it’s the “outback” to me…or it may as well be. Marvel Loch is a small mining town situated 33km south … More Day One in Marvel Loch
