England 2010 - 2011

I find myself in a place called Datchet which is 2miles away from Windsor.Berkshire England
My job situation is not the best and I am feeling that life is difficult and throws many challenges at you some challenges which are so real that you wish you could be back at home in OZ with your feet up on the sofa(even though mum says no) and watching the TV or studding music .

Well the job situation is proving far tougher than I expected or hoped but I am thicked skinned and lined with purple velvet on the inside of my heart. I love the people despite the
uncertainty I am in at the moment.

My last Job was paying me £35000p.a and it only lasted 5 months. I was sacked because i didn't accept a contract change which was 1/3 < salary and an extra days work being 6 days in total.
I was the development Baker for many of Britains largest Food Caterers and Over seas Caterers.
1 week before I was sacked I had made a 1.5 million pound contract between Waitrose and Montana Bakery.

Now I am in the middle of discussion for a business proposal in Windsor re establishing the last bakery which closed its doors 2 years ago. The bakery has been there and is famous since 1859.

The Merry Widow Operetta. Windsor Eton Operatic Society.

Well this was an enjoyable production staged at the Farrer Theatre Eton. The Theatre belongs to Eton Boys College and is a semi professional theatre. Never the less it is very adequate for the needs of the Operatic Society. I would however of like to seen the technology of bringing subtitles to allow the audience to hear a diverse range of repertoire in Foreign Languages.

27th October 2010.

My Audition was successful and I have been asked to sing the role of Don Curzio in the Msrriage of Figaro next year in April 2011.

How my life is changing and I cant stop it I have tried to alter the course but have failed.
I am still clinging onto the idea that Vienna is in sight and that it will be ok. But there are buts associated to that.

How am I going to survive, I need to practice my German again and I am going to have to study for the Life in Britain test which I believe is causing anxiety amongst the people who want to become a uk citizen.

These are the hurdles that are in my way to get to Vienna.
I keep saying to myself that the hurdles are only there to test you and that they are only as big as you make them.

For myself and for anyone else that is reading this post. If you have a goal in your life and you believe that you must do it, do it fight for it, don't give up
, diversity will stare at you until your are worried but don't succumb to this. Instead grow and learn, change if you have to do what you have to do but don't give up

Well I have decided that while I am waiting for the Bakery Business Opportunity to eventuate I have decided that I make a career move and retrain. I have now completed my first lot of training to become a carer and there seems to be a great need of sincere people that are able to help other people in need.
I am now looking after people who are incapacitated through car injuries, accidents and old age. I again have a real sense of personal wealth and worth and I can imagine that this career will improve my stability and helping me get to Vienna. I have only 1 year and 4 months left before I can apply for citizenship and maybe just maybe if all else fails with the business Caring will see me employed in Austria as well.


Friday 7th January 2011.

Flat out told by the Windsor Berkshire Council and the Job Centre that there was no financial assistance for me and that I should contact the Australian Embassy to organise a flight home.

What got me about this was that there was no concern or an attempt to help and that immediate response which could be so critical to other peoples lives would be just to toss them out on the streets. Remember I am resourceful, I come from a caring family and I am not in any real danger. After hearing this I went to my employer and they have agreed to provide a pay advance in housing assistance for me.
So I have come to the conclusion that the state of the UK economy and aid for its residence and tax payers is very minimal and that the stability of the country is being treated like putting credits into a slot machine at a casino
