Sunday - First Day of Work

I had a lie in this morning. It was very pleasant. No David Hasslehoff, no Chinese Lady Shouting, no ironing to do (actually there is, but I’ll do it later in the day). It is the first day of work, and it’s a night shift. I start at 6 p.m. and work through to 8 a.m. tomorrow morning. Luckily I am at a place known as sleepy hollow. Like I said, it is out on the very edge of the desert.

When I did rouse from my bed, and ventured out, it was only a cool 30 degrees outside. Haven’t taken up the national pastime of running in the park yet, so I drove up to where I have been going to church.

After the service, I thought that I’d venture to somewhere I haven’t been to visit yet, (I didn’t go to the moon) I drove to a place called Hilary’s Boat Harbour. After looking at what time the ferry to the little island animal sanctuary leaves, I thought I would have lunch. The only other time I ate in a restaurant was two Sunday’s ago, in Cottesloe, and as that was so enjoyable I thought I would do similar.

People sitting alone in a restaurant always made me laugh, because they always seemed to be fiddling with something, or reading something. I now know why. It is very boring while sitting waiting for food, if there isn’t anyone to talk to. I used the time to start typing up today’s diary entry on my little PDA.

The food today was Salt and Pepper Squid Salad. (It was more battered squid, and not a lot of salad, but still very tasty). Squid salad is getting to be a bit of a habit, as both times I’ve been to a cafe to eat, I’ve had squid salad. It was very yummy.

As soon as I post this online, I’m going to have a little rest before work. I won’t need to worry about an alarm clock, because Sally, my landlady, gets free calls on her mobile phone beginning at 4 in the afternoon, and all this week, without fail, my mobile rings. Guess who.

I’ll let you all know all about the first night at work tomorrow. Keep in touch.
