Fully knowing I haven't posted an entry about why I moved from New Zealand to Sydney, here's this anyway.
I've been spending the last day with my Uncle Leon, and his wife Jo (my other aunty). Their house is a bit of a mess, but it's a hot mess. They have a six year old kid who has dyspraxia and his name is Ryan. It's pretty inspiring actually, because the doctors told his parents five years ago that he would never be able to speak. He learned to talk last year and I can understand him perfectly, he's just not as eloquent as other kids are. I actually rang my uncle's wife yesterday afternoon because I was growing sick and tired of listening to my Aunty (Hela) and her partner fighting. I've been staying with Hela since I got here. It's not good for them, for me, or for their six year old kid (Madeline). Jo and I were on the phone for a good hour and then I asked if I could stay with them for the night and so here I am now, about half an hour away from Hela's place.
Found out some really interesting things about my mother. One awesome thing, one terrible thing, and other tidbits that bit in between everything. I am still unsure if I should tweet about it but I probably will soon once I wrap my head around one fact I can't stop smiling at and making jokes about. My mother was a crazy person, is all i'll say right now.
Anyway, my Uncle Leon and his wife Josephine are both so placid and calm both with eachother, with their kid Ryan and also with me. Not a bad word. They drink beer a lot, have two dogs, a hamster, a kitten and some other animals i haven't discovered yet. The weird thing is, they haven't spoken with my aunty in three years. Hela (who i'm usually staying with) and her brother Leon, just don't communicate and it's a bit sad. But there are some fun jokes we make about the entire situation. I am not sure what's happening tonight. I might stay here again. I mean, they have WiFi because Jo is an accountant, and Leon owns his own welding business. It's pretty laid back and I don't have to worry about going to bed at a certain time or not making noise and waking up Madeline, Hela or Tony back home. I'll see what happens anyway I don't want to intrude but they seem to really like me.
I'll post a bit more later, but yeah, in summation: I am currently with Uncle Leon. I am usually with Aunty Hela. Hela and Leon are siblings, they're the children of my Grandmother who I grew up with. Confusing? Not for me but yeah. More soon. Take care everyone! I know I do.
