G'day darl'
After a "gruelling" 40 hour week I have been granted 3 days off!
Spent the day strolling some of the 70km uninturrupted golden sand of the Gold Coast watching surfers drown/ being eaten by sharks. Golden sunshine and top lifeguard totty certainly completes the spectator value.
Jim opted to lie around the flat in his underwear, resisting the outside world even when lured with pasties. I'll keep you posted.

The chap we rented the flat from kindly left us some references for Australian slang. It appears they have more words for vomit than any other nation. Chunder, Crook chuck, Heave, Technicolour yawn, Yodel and Yack to name a few. It makes me doubly proud to report that today an Australian mistook me for a fellow Australian. Just goes to show how quickly and naturally I have acquired the accent and turned into a toned blonde surfer chick. No, really, I have.

Hello all! Day 2 at work and a patient turns up having been bitten by a snake. And he brings the snake along too. Dead fortunately. We fixed him up ok but the snake is on the critical list...

By the way, I didn't think the evil eye effect was at all funny.
(For those that haven't run your mouse over my picture on the home page). Join my fight for freedom. E-mail your vote to have the evil eye effect removed to jim at jim@jimmoriarty.com - or post your abhorence of such cheap website trickery on the guest book.

Apparently some of the smaller dogs out in australia are actually CATS in drag. Everything is topsy turvey here.

Hello! My first proper day in the EMERGENCY Department. Or as they call it here, CASUALTY. No, really. However, no sign of Charlie, Duffy etc, disappointingly. Startling musings for the day -
*My first 4 patients had a combined DAILY alcohol consumption of 67 units.
*Australian doctors swear a lot. Sorry, I mean they FUCKING swear alot MATE. I was shocked and appalled. Really, I was. Fuck.
*There are approximately twice as many shop floor docs and shop floor nurses for the same number of patients. Yet everyone looks as busy and stressed. The only possible explanation as Frenchay/ Southmead team worked at SUPERHUMAN speeds.

More earth shattering observations soon. Missing you all.

Hello. Off to the hospital for first time today. Apparently we have to be induced. If you haven't had a personal e-mail from me I may not know you're e-mail address. Please send it to me!

Hello. Jim has set me up a web log. Sounds like the ideal place to find a very scarey venomous spider.
