sooo the sun was shining, the bikini was on and i went to hit the beach. i decided to stop by the supermarket to get myself some nice fruit to accompany me to be beach when i decided i should ask for jobs in there. its pretty much across the road from my house so super close ie roll out of bed and go to work style! so i thought hey, no harm in asking. so i asked, chatted to a really nice and friendly guy called brian, i think the irish accent worked a treat and ive got myself another job!! woowoo! so after my little rant yday about not getting enough hrs in veras i think im gonna be able to work both jobs together and will hopefully be plenty! so yea :) that was a pretty good start to they day. I start tomorrow so we'll see how that one goes! karen the cashier will be trying to work without 20/50c coins! i do miss these a lot - my mental maths will be on top form when i get home!
i spent the majority of the rest of the morning soaking up the sun, stopping by the library on the way to get myself a book to read, very closely walked away with a gay novel (its crazyyy how open people are to gayness here, theres even a section of the library dedicated to gay/bisexual books - i found this pretty strange in comparison to home, but yea, there you go. I suppose i cant really expect anything different in the west end) and yea then went back and sat on the patio while munching some lunch and catching up with some radio 1! headed back to the beach in the afternoon and was meeting tina for a while at the beach so that was good! i decided to set up camp on the grass nearby the beach as it was a little breezier there. i made a new friend too - a little girl called julia, she was one and a half and a little cutie pie! she started hoking in my beach bag to which caused her dad a bit of embarrassment but it was fine. i chatted away to her and she loved my ipod, she even knew to put the headphones to her ears etc and bopped away to the music! had a bit of a blether with her dad while she hoked away. he was very freindly and asked if i wanted to go for a drink that night. slightly awkward as i was like ehhh you have a daughter - where is the mum?! but then he mentioned that the julia stays with her mum and night and him by day which i presumes means they arent together. i made a few awkward excuses about seeing freinds etc but then he asked for my no. he was nice and chatty but i dont think il be rushing for any drinks with him! but it was another example of super friendly canadians! soo yea, then tina came to the rescue so i had the excuse of ohhh my roommates coming to visit so julia and him headed home!
then last night i headed to a youth event at church. the speaker guy was called paul becker - hes a dance choreographer for the jonas brothers, miley c etc. so yea that was really good, apart fromt the slightly embarrassing incident when i was standing behind him through the service and when we were saying hello to people around us i said hello, introduced myself as karen, him as paul and then it clicked that he was the speaker/famous! i felt starstuck a little for the first time. it was an occassion to remember!
after this, i went to an outdoor cinema with kerry, got myself some amazinggggly yummy yam fries (sweet potato fries) and sang our hearts out to mamma mia as the sun set and the stars came out! perfect day if you ask me! lots of fun with lots of freinds!
