Not much to report today. Still tired from the Banff trip.
I went to meet with a lady in an ice cream shop about potentially working there, but I'd have to give up my sunday long runs. no chance.
It was really hot again so it feels like summer to me and it looks like I got a bit burnt.
I still seem to be acting like I'm just here on holiday, but it looks like I will now have a place to live and will probably move at the weekend. I think unpacking and having to pay rent will maybe make me realise I'm here for a year and on a budget. It was a relief to get an email about this (on my phone 'cos that's what I can do now) as I was starting to get a bit disheartened about house-hunting. Now I'm looking forward to moving and settling properly. Yay!
Still can't get used to how friendly people are! someone on the bus was giving me advice about how to get rid of a cold (i've been a bit snotty and sneezy today, probably caught due to lack of sleep this weekend) and someone in a shop was talking to me about tattoos having spotted the henna on my arm. This is just today and just people I don't know. People I've met "properly" have been incredibly generous. Like the Brazilians and Couchsurfers for example. It's just not very British!
I still feel like a lost foreigner but Canada is definitely making me feel welcome. I can't imagine how depressing it must have been for Cecily when she first arrived in the UK!
