Working Holiday

Not working, but a holiday with a lot of ambulance involvement. Only in dot form, as I am sitting in the Library in Flinders Lane, and need to get some things done later.

• Met with my first on road tutor and great mate
• Met with Taz, from http://taztheambo.blogspot.com
• Met with some paramedics from Paddington Station, who were kind enough to show us around
• Grabbed some dumplings for dinner last night, had to share a table as it was so full. Turns out is was a ED nurse from one of the local hospital. Random Cool :-)
• Going on an observer shift with a Melbourne crew tomorrow
• ACAP SPA conference Friday

...and living in a hostel is a little different, I am reminded. My locker seems to have come directly from the Rotterdam drug seizing authority. I opened it yesterday and nearly started flying around the room in a green haze, such was the pungent stench of Marihuana. I am now worried my clothes will soak up all the THC particles, and I will reek of weed on my flight home. Police will arrest me, lock me up and perform a deep and thorough full body cavity search.

Oh, and I wanted to share the view from my room:

PS: Girl in Green, where art thou? No escaping Squeezy....you said you were coming to the conference!

New ACAP website!

...since nobody else is going to tell the world (I only found out by chance the other day), here it is:

MegaMiles ahead of the old site (what a dinosaur of the net that was), this one is indeed quite palatable.
