Hi All

Well, where do I start? I had a great Australia Day (26th), we caught up with some friends from University. It was great to see them again, and to reminisce about the good old days.

Also, I had to get some injections to protect me from various illnesses that I could possibly get in Egypt. As my family know I have had an aversion to needles (and pain in general) since I was very young. When I was 7, I had to get some immunisation because we were going overseas, and I was screaming so loud the entire medical centre thought someone was dying… and the needle wasn’t even near me at the time.

In my defence I was about 7 years old. Then as I was growing up, my uncle (a dentist) decided that some baby teeth needed to come out, even though they weren’t loose. Then I was getting 3 needles in my gums for each tooth he pulled out. I can’t remember how many he pulled out, but to give you an idea, I don’t remember EVER having a loose tooth.

I guess I can’t complain, since my teeth do look very straight and nice. In fact I should thank my uncle more often. As I get older, I notice more and more people saying they wish they had teeth like mine.

And so the needle saga continues… This time, I had 3 injections to prevent a few things, and being 26 now, there was no screaming and so on. In fact it didn’t hurt very much at all. Soon after though (about 3 mins) I started to feel a bit light headed, and I thought maybe it was just having 3 foreign substances running through my body. Then as I was about to ask the nurse if it was normal to feel like this, I passed out. I woke up about 30 seconds later with my girlfriend freaking out, and the nurse laughing. Seems I can’t handle my meds.

The nurse said it was pretty normal, and I felt fine after that. I even got some candy. I have to get a follow up injection in 4 weeks, so we will see how it goes. Thus my ongoing hate-hate relationship with needles continues.

To add insult to injury, After the injections, we went out for lunch, I ordered Katsu-don, and my girlfriend ordered Okonomiyaki from a Japanese place. Mere seconds after eating, I felt something hit my forehead, and wouldn’t you know it, a bird SHAT on me. In case anyone is still reading this, and are not Australian, SHAT is the past tense of the verb shit. I doubt it is in any dictionaries, but we use it anyway.

I know it’s meant to be good luck, but having something green and runny land on your forehead does not leave me with a warm feeling.

Finally to the comic. Well what else would you buy a penguin for their Birthday?

Nothing more to report this week, I will keep you all informed if any other animals decide to defecate on me
