Toasty Warm in Palmy :)

Have a house sit for 2 months. The incentive was being able to keep warm without having to worry myself sick about trying to find the $$s to pay the power bill.

Also means that I can get some part time work, the money from which does not get totally annihilated by the travel costs to same.

Those that 'know' me from many years ago will not be too surprised about what I am doing to raise some dosh. (No, NOT that, haha!!) Doing the baking for a cafe. Long time since I did any serious baking - the last time I think was when I was still cooking for the shearers way back in the late 80's. But surprisingly I am really enjoying myself. All the 'produce' is selling OK, which is the true assessment of the quality I guess. When people come back for seconds or ask 'have you any of the *whatever* you had last week' you know that you have something 'right'.

Other than that, I like many others, am awaiting the results from 1st semester exams.

Off helping to scan ewes tomorrow. It would be 'nice' if isn't raining (fat chance). Haven't really seen the sun for over a week now. I am like any self respecting merino - grey skies make me depressed (not really as far as I am concerned, but true for the merinos).

Already had two music sessions since I have been here (5 days). Having to work the callouses up slowly or I will be unable to play for a while. Hope to get in some busking to augment the commisariat, which is barer than Mother Hubbards these days.

Exams all finished for this semester

Last one was on Saturday.
Will be off house sitting for a couple of months, next week. At least I will be warm, which has been a problem over the last while - not being warm that is. There is no heat source in this flat and I don't have the funds to buy a heater, never mind pay the resultant power bill. Also have a wee part time job lined up for while I am in PN as the travel costs will not kill the point.

Those of you who are email buddies I will send you the details and contact ph number as well, then you can ph me up (haha).

Two exams today, phew

Six hours of writing has really strained the wonky finger - the one that Bridgie munted.

Hard brain strain especially the first exam which was Cell Biology.

Piked out on one whole question in the second exam - required the use of formulae and algebra and maths. Decided there was NO point in even going there...The time was better spent doing the other questions
Thought that this might appeal - very topical :)
