thank goodness im irish

hello again, i know its been a few days - i do apologise! but havent really been up to an awful lot the past couple of days. the sun has been out so the beach has been veyr tempting! its beautiful, its not too hot, but just a really nice temperature to be out about about/lying on the beach and not totally sweating! ive found a nice wee running route so been trying to do that a bit in the mornings. it amazing how many people go running here, and how everyone looks like its no bother to them at all. i must admit im rather jealous and probably dont look like such a pro running along puffing and panting, thank goodness for some lady gaga and rihanna to keep me going thats all im saying!
the job hunt is going a little bit annoyingly, waiting on hearing back from a few places so its a bit annoying but im gonna call back into a few places on monday and hopefully something will come up really soon! until then im kind of using this as my holiday as i know once work starts im gonna be gutted if i dont keep busy/enjoy the sun now! I had a rather funny experience when i went to hand in a cv to a place which is a bit of a walk away, by the time id got there i was probably looking rather hot and flushed. i think this was maybe pretty obvious as the girl offered me some water while i was filling in my application!
today i went for a wander in and around stanley park too which was really nice, its soo strange being there, it feels like im no where near a city, its really beautiful too! so yea, think there will be lots more adventures there!we then set up camp on the beach for the evening after going to the "liquor store" aka the offy, for some beer - its soooo expensive here this was a luxury but i reckoned friday night, i think i can treat myself to two. so i was all nicely settled on the beach, waiting for the sun to go down, one beer nearly finished when i felt that there was someone walking towards us, but behind us - a nice cop! uh ohhhh! so yea, aparently its pretty illegal to drink on the beach in vancouver and i should have got a $250 fine, thankfully the irish charm worked a treat and i played the innocent eyes and got away with it. i think he just loved the fact that i live near the giants causeway!! so yea, lets just say i think il save my other beer for inside from now on!
so yea, not too much else happening here really, think im meeting up with some canadians tomorrow - all i seem to have met is people from ireland, scotland and england so far, not that there is anything wrong with that of course!
