So days have settled into a routine more or less… I’m still looking for work, and average an interview every day or so. I still go dancing; went last night and it was good.
I’m beginning to think I should get a job as a kitchen hand, wash dishes, prep chef, basic stuff like that. The job market here is very tough right now.
Ken Burns Jazz is on TV right now, Sunday evenings!
The trees here are very different - their foilage stretches up, like half-exploded fire works. I guess not having snow really changes a plant’s view of life and getting sun. Parrots are here, too! I saw some in a tree at a cricket match - I went to two this weekend, and now I know how that silly game works.
Also, went with Garry (host father for Ariel) to a pub on Saturday night to watch the Rugby World Cup final between Australia and England. ‘We’ lost by 3 points in overtime. It was fun, warm and dark pub, lots of beer drinking in the place, lots of cheering and booing, it was good.
Oy, Kobe Bryant is in the papers here as well. As well as Jacko, and Mr. Cali hisself: Awhnohld.
If you ask for lemonade, they’ll give you a sprite equivalent. Uf.
