So after a nice relaxing extra night in Lake Amelia and I headed up to stay the night with my Clinical educator and i have to say it was such an awesome experience. First of all Cindy and the Family were such wonderful hosts, and amelia and I really enjoyed ourselves.To set the picture Cindy lives with her husband and three kids on a property which is about 7000 arces, which they use to grow

first of all this photo was from my birthday with the two birthday boys (tom and myself) but back to business....So 151hrs later all I can say is my first prac of year three: just done it!And the good news is I passed! This placement is marked just as a pass or fail with comments from my educators and in the end I complete 116hr in Bathurst in 4 weeks dead, with 5 visits out to Lake Cargelligo

Ok so I know I haven’t been posting much and that’s my bad! So I’m typing this up in a word document and when I can post it either via email or what ever.But over the weekend was my birthday, from days gone by at camp it was declared this day (the 30th July) Garner Day, where fun and celebration should be had by all!Just wanted to wish my ‘other half’ (chris my baby twin brother) a happy

So I've just arrived back from Lake (Cargellico), the 4 and a bit hour drive away from where I am staying in Bathurst and just wanted to post my very unique and interesting experience. After the usual morning exercise class (cardiac & pulmonary rehab) I joined two nurses from the mental health team and went out to a local Aborginal settlement called Murrim Bridge.A bit of back ground about the

as promised here are some photos my bad, when i tried uploading them it just wasn't working then i never got round to it. So this picture is of the three sisters, 'they' (clever people who enjoy studying rocks) believe that these three formations were part of an 8 formation orginally, bloody errosion! Water freezes, it expands I sure we all remember our geography lessions! This photo was taken

So last week, over breakfast with Penny, Graham and Lyn they decided that we should all take a trip into the mountains to a place call Katoomba to see the three sisters. Its only about a hours drive from Bathurst. Sorry to sound like a bit of a history lesson but it makes it much easier to understand: Historically the Blue Mountains were once thought of as the barrier to freedom, as

So I think birthday greeting will likely become a regular fixture on effundo, and today is no different. Katie Banks congratulations 26 years old today!! This photo was recently taken from our camping trip up to Scarborough.I think i should open this up to a quiz style caption competition..........."How to tell you've been watching too much buffy!"Happy birthday Katie x

Well it has finally begun, after a week attempting to get over the jet lag i have started my clinical placement. For those who don't know as a part of my training, all physio's need to complete 1000 clinical hrs. At the University of East London this is divided up to 1 placement in the first year, three in the second, and three in the third year. This prac is the first in the 3rd year and

Hello guys and girls, even after nearly week I can report that the jet lag is nearly done with (although i'm writing this at 6:34am, and have been up for a while now!).Generally i'm doing well, still bitterly disappointed with the football, 'bleeding Ronaldo' should be interesting next season esp. first day back! But anyway enough about ranting on about the football.I've had a nice few days,

Well folks I would like to introduce you all to the newest love in my life.......... and as the title suggests by gosh she is a really beauty!A 1972 1.4 VW beatle. Now not that i'm a complete car plonker, but i openly admit my limitations I know that i'm no where near the level of Bob and his red mini project (congrats on the trail fit, hopefully u'll be able to find those few more cm!).

To answers Karls comment on the doors which appear in the photo of our stuff in storage, as much fun as it would be to steal people's bathroom doors i'm affraid with age I feel i'm becoming less adventouras and more worthy of wearing a cardigan: they are doors from an ikea wardrobe which when some way towards storing the many of Amelia's clothes, although the 'floordrobe' always seemed to be

Well now officially the summer (or winter) begins!!! I flew out of Heathrow on sunday evening after watching yet another poor England performance, granted at least we're gettin the results which is more that the US, Australia and Czech Republic can say! But poor performances aside at least I get the chance to watch a match over here at 1am with my England shirt on!My flight wasn't too bad but

Well after a tough week all i can say is 'yes i've finished!'.After getting back from boating I took 'monday off' and had a much needed boy day doing all the essentials: beer, x-box, and football with JP. We even had time to try the diet coke & mentos challenge! (The link is to my brothers blog, shameless promotion i love it!) But after saving the world and bit of fifa (still prefer pro

Wow, so after a crazy few weeks I should now hopefully have a bit of time to dedicate to this project and get the blog up and running. Although once again I find time is at a premium (nothing new there!) I’ve just finished a clinical placement at a special needs school in Islington which was an awesome experience, but a lot of reading to boot! But that all finished on Thursday, with a ‘

Hello ladies and gentlemen and welcome to my brand spanking new blog effundo.The reason for this blog is quite simple, by using the power of the inter-network of computers I will hopefully be able to keep in contact with the many people that I just haven't keep in contact with and let you all know where I’m at, and maybe at some point meet-up!Although I must thank Karl as it was he that suggested
