Random Update

Thought I should probably let everyone know what I've been up to over the last few days so here goes!

Basically I've been working like a maniac, it's very tough work but I kind of enjoy it, it keeps you occupied and the days don't go toooooo slowly. The one annoying thing is I get back after the only store in town closes so all grocerys must be bought in the morning... Damn.

Cycling to and from work everyday now, so soon I shall have thighs of steel. That's the plan anyway... Here it is law to wear a helmet, and the only one available at the hostel is bright luminous pink, with silver stars. So it's a very self-conscious journey to work every day. Want a photo of me wearing it? WELL TOO BAD IT'S NOT HAPPENING! Bad enough having the girls at work mock me twice a day.

My favourite little Frenchman Django

My co-workers (all female, but I'm well prepared after my times at Razor Research and Superdrug) are lovely and have a knack of making me feel very at home. Even if they do massively enjoy abusing my accent and asking incredibly personal questions one after the other. Today we had a long discussion about prostitution and whether or not it should be legal. I say discussion, but basically is was 3 of us trying to tell Anna it should be illegal. Oh and apparently I look like a pimp. Nice. Prince and pimp. Score.

Our very own (demented) astronaut!

Tomorrow morning Django leaves to go and camp at Pindars Pond (he can't afford rent anymore) and Kevin and Valentin join him on Wednesday. I'm very sad to see them go because I spend most of my time in the evenings hanging out with them, on the porch, playing football and basketball or having outrageously random conversations. Life is about to get much MUCH more dull.

I'm getting the hang of this cooking malarky too, tonight I made steak, egg and cheesy chips (using real potato) and dayum I'm good! Now I have to make cheesy chips for everyone on one night soon. Which is a real challenge given the very few decent pans!

Well that's it for now! I know it may not be quite as interesting as the past few weeks have been but I'm enjoying myself and I'll keep anyone who's still interested updated on my life of independence right here!
