A busy few weeks

So the last few weeks have been fairly busy.  Firstly at work my boss got left very suddenly. This meant that I had to take on a majority of his work until a replacement was found.  However, it was a short wait as a freelancer was brought in a couple of days later to help out.  Although he is now leaving to work in New York, alright for some, in the next couple of weeks.  So the work may pile up again in the next couple of weeks. 

One thing I thought Sydney would be great for is having lots of random things going on.  Much like Edinburgh does.  I was, however, beginning to think that I was wrong and even a few English people here have told me that not much goes on and they were slightly disappointed.  In the last few weeks though, things have been happening around the city.  Firstly, there was the Sydney boat show, which was great, but looking at some of these boats just made me feel slightly jealous.  They were amazing, and what made it worse was that I had to walk past them every day on the way to and from work.  The show was on for a few days at the beginning of this month in Darling Harbour.  However, I now have a growing ambition to own a catamaran just like this one. 

Then today was city2surf.  I will create separate post for this though. 

Also recently, my old lecturer Paula McNulty was visiting Sydney, and it was great to meet up with her and her travel companion, Andrew.  It is always great to see a face from home.  And since Paula is a veggie, just to annoy her, I thought it best to go to Sydney’s most famous Restaurant and Grill, Hurricanes.  This place is awesome, and are famous for their ribs.  Pork, beef or lamb, although I would recommend going for the pork, they are amazing and come in half and full racks.  This time though I went for a steak, however Andrew went for the full rack of ribs, and finished them.  Always impressive!
