27 and all grown up
Well, I don't know about the grown-up part, but it was my birthday last Saturday so now I'm a year closer to 30 (which is when I'll probably have kids - help! Three years left of my own life!!!).
As I said before, Canadians will celebrate absolutely anything, and this included my birthday : ) The whole family came round for dinner, and I got presents and a cake and everything! All we needed was goodie bags and I would have felt five again : )
Another random Canadian celebration is Victoria Day. When I said I had no idea what this was, people here were pretty surprised - it's actually the Queen of England's birthday! So it's pretty weird that Brits have no idea when it is, let alone celebrate it. Honestly, we're such a dour, party-less lot. But here in Canada we had fireworks and more cake and a day off last Monday! So it was a pretty good weekend all round.
Other than that, not a whole lot has been happening. I was housebound with a pretty harsh cold for most of last week, and because we had Monday off this week has been slow to get going (although I have written another article - but this one's for the free paper so it's not paid).
So it's a pretty short blog today (collective sigh of relief). I'm working on getting more stories/a job, but both are kind of slow in coming so I'm a bit bored. Oh well - if anything life-changing happens I'll be sure to let you know!
