A view, my nose pieced and a sore foot

There is a nose piecing there if you can see it

This is not how my foot looks usually...

I see this as i drive down the road.. amazing!

Well the May long weekend here was everything that i had been warned about... busy busy busy..
We did record sales and it was flat out with a queue to the door.. it was fun though. So after working for 10 days straight i was so tired.. Joie i needed you to come and cook me dinner! Anyway i just had the last two days off and it was great!
I got up on Saturday morning and went to get my nose pieced. I was on my own but it didn't matter. I had been thinking it through for the past week and decided i should just do it. My eyes watered a stack but it wasn't that painful. Now i love it.
When i got back i was invited to a BBQ with some friends i had met. This was fun until i tripped over and landed on my foot which is now very sore! It's so crazy that i manage to fall and look silly mainly when i am meeting people for the first time. Anyway, I worked on it today and it was fine. So parents do not worry..
So lets do i quick recap.. in 7 weeks of being here i have misplaced my passport, over flowed a toilet, locked myself out of my place, run out of petrol, lost my car keys and hurt my ankle in front of strangers... i think I'm impressive! lol. Can't wait for the next 7 weeks....
The photos of the view are just a couple of places where i am living. I just get overwhelmed by this area! Its so stunning..

The last 10 or so days...

Well i know i havn't updated my blog for a while but i have been busy with work. This coming weekend id the May longweekend here and its the start of the busy season.
Work is going along great. It is a good place to work. Every workplace has its things and this is no different but the things are normal. I have been working on getting the customers to try different kinds of coffee local to this area as Steph wants to change the brand. Thats a little exciting! We are also getting gelato for summer and it is made by the mayor in his garage. He is 26, makes gelato in the garage, owns a cafe and is the mayor of invermere.. crazy hey.. also a little funny.
Today i had the day off so decided to go for a drive to Banff. It is so beautiful there. Its a bigger town than here but still small compared to Sydney. It was about a two hour drive and a fantastic drive! i bought myself lunch and sat and read for a couple of hours.. it was so good. then drove back and it snowed.. a little scary but light so it was fine.
I have settled into my place well. Day four after just moving in i did manage to lock myself out however. I left the rod standing in the sliding door and as i closed it, it fell. I also left the chain on the inter-connecting door. Sally sent me a u-tube video of how to unlock a chain from the other side. So my friend Jess and i set off to unlock the place.. it worked.. amazing!
I also ran out of petrol in my car the same day. It always happens to me! Anyway Michele my friend from work helped me out with that. These people have been so generous to me!
Anyway i will put up some photos soon...
I miss you all.
Mum i hope you had a great mothers day! and all my beautiful mum friends i hope you were all spoilt!

Snow, a moose and a funny trip to Cranbrook

My car with some lovely snow!!

Fernie's main street

On the way to Fernie..

It has been a good week.. there are a few reasons why... Firstly it was snow, i have already written about how excited i was but the next morning i woke up and it had covered my car! i thought that was great so i took a little photo.. (I did try and hide from the locals as i took the photo for fear of a few laughs) It was at this point i knew it was going to be a good week!

I had a day off work on Sunday so Sal, Aaron and I spent the night in Cranbrook with Aaron's parents. Sal and I treated ourselves to a girly night full of Indian food and a few beverages while Aaron and his mates played some board games. The next day we went to a small country town which is about an hour from Cranbrook. Its called Fernie. Its really cute and i had a fantastic and cheap breakfast!! we then had a great time just having a look in the shops and being overwhelmed again by how beautiful it is.

Work this week has been good. I am starting to feel like i have an idea about what is going on. At first i was really overwhelmed by all the cooking and baking that these amazing women do every day but now i think its great! i am excited to learn and bring these new skills back home.

Also this week i decided that i would change my name back to my maiden one as best as i can. All documents and official stuff cant be changed but my email and facebook etc etc can.. i will also checkout my blog and see if i can change that to... I feel free! This was a good call.
The funny thing was i decided to change my name as i was trying to work out what to do with a overflowing toilet. I'm not sure what the connection with wee and avis is, but somehow in my brain at 2.30am they were connected! hehe The problem with the loo was fixed by a plumber and its not a nice story but a very very funny one! ( i guess mainly for me cause i was at work while Sal dealing with the situation)

I also received a package from home this week which was so nice! Mum sent me some clothes but also a boomerang necklace to make sure i would come home. It is really nice and i love it!!! Thanks mum.

I am moving into my own place tomorrow and so tonight i drove an hour and a half, each way, to Cranbrook where the shopping is cheaper to get some things for the place. I took two girls from work who also wanted to go. It was a funny trip. One of them sung Celine Dion in french for us, i struggled to remember what side of the road to drive on because i was distracted and then driving home we saw a moose on the side of the road! Its scary driving at night with all the crazy animals around.

Tomorrow Sal and I are going to some garage sales to see what we can find and then I'm off to set up my new place!

This is about the end to my great week! Hope you are all well! Especially Ian Keast! I'm so glad to hear that the operation was a success!

love you xx
