Goondiwindi.

That's where I am right now, in Goondiwindi Just arrived today from Goombungee which was a lovely little town. Was absolutely tiny but it was really chilled out and the locals were great. In these kinda towns where not a lot happens they really look forward to show day so when we all went to the pub one night they greeted us with open arms and bought us jugs of beer. They couldn't wait to speak to us.
Was also a more chilled out week work wise as it was only a one day show and we only had the canteen, coffee stand and fun factory to set up with 4 days to do it we strung it out.
We're really starting to find our feet now me and the English couple Will and Enya who started at the same time as me. There's so much to learn and take in but I feel like I know more what I'm doing. Courtney who's like a daughter to Jackie and Mick my boss and she's in charge when they ain't around is starting to be a lot more open and friendly towards me which is good cause I didn't like her at the start! It's a good group with Rumbo who is Justin's staff and the kiwi boys who work for little Jackie we all have a good laugh. Cooking and drinking together after work.
My friend Duncan who I met in Melbourne who's actually from Edinburgh came upto join the show on Saturday so it's great to have him here as he's a good mate and means I'm not the only Scottish on the showgrounds! We've renamed our camp 'Camp Scotland'

I've felt really good the past 6 weeks I've been on the show I don't have that need to or feeling that I need to move on and what am I doing next that I've had since Scott died. I was always looking for something or somewhere to make me feel better and happy. I've been that lost and sad, trying to hide how I'm feeling and channeling it into travelling. Working on the show I've not had that feeling of I need an escape route. I'm happy. I'm not 100% but I feel good. I'm busy constantly and enjoying the lifestyle and work its keeping me going. I feel healthy and look healthier than I have in months. My friend Duncan even commented on that yesterday when he arrived and its only been 6 weeks since I seem him.
I love being a showie! What an adventure it is. It's not for the faint hearted at all. I practically live outside as I only go into my camp to sleep, we eat, cook and socialise outside. We work outside except 2 days a week in the canteen. The sites always have toilets and showers but there not exactly glamorous. The last 2 towns in the toilets didn't even mirrors so I didn't look in the mirror for 2 weeks! I'm constantly either muddy or greasy from cleaning or setting up but I don't even care.
