Journal #7886

Hello thar from Australia!

I've only got about two weeks left in the country.
I haven't been checking TWHL really as I've only had sporadic internet access, but that is about to change...
For the worse. We had a little mobile broadband thing which ran out yesterday and my parents have decided not to top it up.
No more internet for me, so I can't talk to people at home.
Right now I'm on an internet kiosk in Canelands Shopping Centre in Mackay, typing on a rather crappy keyboard.

I met one of my two best childhood friends yesterday. His name is Joe Balma, which is kind of funny. He's changed a bit since then, mainly that he's now about 6 feet 4 inches now. I was kind of nervous before meeting him, as I hadn't really made any contact with him in about a decade, but it wasn't really an awkward meeting. We were talking for about 5-6 hours.

I had resigned myself to not meeting my other best friend, as he moved down near Brisbane shortly after I moved to Ireland, but it turns out we'll be spending the last week of the holiday in Brisbane, so hopefully I should be able to meet him.
We'll mainly be going there because my mother's best friend also moved down there. Most of my family were good friends with most of theres. Some of the family had come up to meet us in Proserpine, but we'll be going down to meet the rest of the family.

Anyway, I have to go soon, as the internet time at this kiosk is running out. I probably won't be able to go on the internet until I get to Brisbane at least, so I'm just explaining my absence really.
Bye bye.
