What follows are a few questions that Vicki Tough, friend of Roo since 1995, asked me. As you can see they are vital and probing and will provide an as yet hitherto unseen personal insight into my travels thus far!
- Q. What is your favourite Canadian chocolate?
- A. Wunderbar I think. It's like a peanut Boost!
- Q. What is your favourite Canadian food?
- A. Homefries are a cross between roast and sauteed tatties and you get them with breakfast; they are delicious.
- Q. What is your favourite Canadian word?
- A. So far it would have to be the classic 'Eh' after literally every sentence. It's so funny.
- Q. What is your favourite Canadian animal?
- A. I really like raccoons but although I can claim to have seen two, they weren't much more than skidmarks on the highway : (
- Q. Where are you right now?
- A. I was in my office at work when I read it but right now I am in Bill and Kath's dining room typing away, with Ceri sat beside me doing sudoku and intermittently looking at the AMAZING LIGHTNING out the window.
- Q. Have you seen the new Clash of the Titans movie?
- A. No, as yet we haven't been to the pictures but they are everywhere and really expensive. I trust I shall find a bargain somewhere, though.
- Q. What is your new address ?
- A. I shall send this privately to anyone who wants it. You never know who's listening - Mum's the word!
(I really fancy some Robinson's no added sugar Orange Squash...)
Today was my last 'Commute of Evil'. The last couple of days certain buses refused to turn up which meant I got home around 8 pm. This is not good since I was waiting for these buses from around 5pm. Ceri and I are spending our last night in Ajax tonight, however, and moving into the city proper tomorrow afternoon so this should be much better. My commute should be shorter and will be cheaper, Ceri will be able to hit the streets for work (not in that way, tsk - although I have already suggested it) on a daily basis and we will have our own space. Not to mention the fact that we can start to get to know the city and feel like we're actually independent (and snazzy).
To supplement my income I have been accepted as the voice of an iPhone cooking app which needed a British male to lend his dulcet tones for 20 lines of dialogue (in turn for $20 and lunch). This should be happening next week so I shall let you know how that goes. I think I'll be a natural. This weekend I'm going to try and earn $150 taking photos of three supermarkets for a retail research company in Massachusetts (it's random but worth 2 hours of my time). I am dragging Ceri into so we can split the money. I am well kind.
(I'm craving bourbons. Please help.)
My next blob will likely be from my new desk in my new room in my new house in downtown Ronters. I shall take photos and I'll show you; I'll show the lot o' ya!
Look after yourselves, and each other.
Peace out.
Sounds like you guys are having fun! Keep it up, skip Clash of the Titans! It looks good but it was a bit of a let down. Hope Ceri has some luck getting a job! Faye xxx
ReplyDeleteNice to see new place, and your neighbours seem friendly too.Might try and send you biscuits but they will likely get broken in transit. What are you drinking instead of ROJ?
ReplyDeleteEnjoy exploring wish I could see all the places you talk about so I could have the picture in my mind.
Say Hi to Ceri please.
Talk tomorrow. Now my questions:
Are the shops much different from ours?
What biscuits do you eat there?
Have a good sleep in your new place, talk tomorrow.
