This week has been pleasantly surprising. Not only in terms of taking new adventures and trying new things but in terms of my drinking habits – I’ve only actually been drunk once in the last seven days. Which is progress. That’s not to say I’ve only drank alcohol on one occasion, hell no, what I … More Day 32 in Marvel Loch
I’m halfway through my stint in Marvel Loch and I gotta tell you guys, I’ve fallen in love. Over the last three weeks I’ve been having a satisfying and delicious love affair. No, it’s not with a married man (contrary to popular belief), but it is in fact with something much more reliable and trustworthy, … More Four Weeks Down and I’m In Love…
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
The play areas in Marvel Loch strike a lonely chord; I’ve not seen one child frolicking on the climbing frames, not one hoop shot on the run down basketball court, and not one youngster swinging innocently and joyfully on the tyre swing. Granted, the current climate has probably had a lot to do with the … More Weekend number two in Marvel Loch – where are all the children? The play areas are empty and the roads desolate…
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
Remember the new gym I wrote about last week? The one I was told existed but I hadn’t had chance to find? Today, Trine and I found it! Now I know what you’re thinking, you’re thinking I’m about to enthral and dazzle you with a tale of how spectacularly hi-tech this gym is, how I’m … More Day Seven in 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
