I have been on here on the Barrier for abou two weeks now. My initial intention had been to leave on the 21st which is Thursday, but... i have been offered a paying position, made good friends and just become too attached to this little island. so i think i am going to stay on for a bit with my absolute deadline for departure being the end of this month.
I live across the street from the beach here so i have been spending a fair amount of time there.
I am finally off of doing dishes and working behind the bar and waitressing. Both are fun and tonight was my first night. I did OK but I didn't know how to make a lot of the drinks. But I have the beers down anyways.
Lena and Francie from Germany have left and gone to see more of New Zealand. Nina and Dave have gone to South America. Ashleigh is going back home to the north island tomorrow. I am the last wwoofer/seasonal worker now. I think we are getting a new wwoofer this week.
But i am getting on well with the locals. i know most of the regulars now buy name and i know their strange little stories that follow them around. Like Harry that wears a helmate, creepy andy and bad teeth beard guy. Just to name a few of the notable. There are others with more flattering titles and reputations, they just dont have fun names.
I have moved out of the backpackers where i was staying and have moved into a deluxe shed at the bottom of the property. It is quite nice.
There mosquitoes here are really really horrible and are loving me best. it is turning into a problem. i look like i have something of a fatal disease.
I have not really done anything notably exciting here. i just kind of hang out and live here and try to stay out of trouble. which i am managing fairly well.
This is the beach that is across the street from the Currach Irish pub where I live and work.
This is work crew at a staff breakfast before they all left me. We are at the Wild Rose Cafe which is just next doot to the pub. Really good/expensive food.I love and miss you all. Bye bye.
