Slack

No blogging for a LONG while now. It's been a busy few weeks - my fiancee is now back in Canada which is fantastic, I've got two markets under my belt, we've had another heatwave...

Life is good. We're a good team of workers, getting through the jobs quite quickly and efficiently. My body feels great - sure there are aches and pains, but nothing serious. And yesterday we had a great market - we sold out of most things, people were interested and enthusiastic about what we had (though many had some of the things in their own gardens that we'd had for a while - less interest in lettuce, for example, but more in cucumbers. It's about having things that people here don't have in their gardens yet).

Today, my day off, I'm trying to organise visa, work permit, residency application stuff. I got ripped off getting passport photos at Black's Photography. $20 for the first PAIR then $10 for each pair after, amazing!

It's interesting what is cheap here and what is expensive compared to the UK. Lots of stuff is "service-expensive" - such as buying or selling a house, getting photographs, etc. Coffee is cheap... :)
