Collect the Country

Next month I will be beginning the next phase of my adventure in the UK, as I have been offered a job in Northern Ireland! It's a job in my field, pays more than the my 2 jobs here do (combined) and it also includes a place to stay and food! Plus, I will get most weekends off!

Sounds too good to be true, doesn't it?

Only time will tell and all I can say is that I am looking forward to this next adventure. Tomorrow, or more accurately - later today, I will be calling the company to accept the offer and confirm my date of arrival. Hopefully, it will all go smoothly!

So far, I have worked in Scotland, England, and soon . . . Northern Ireland! I will somehow have to find a way to make it to Wales for employment of some form. Really, I'm not doing too bad - not including UK countries I have also worked in Canada and France. I wonder where life will take me next???

Stay tuned for a funny/typical story about me, the interview, and procrastination!

Badgers!

I went badger watching at the weekend. It was only the second time I have seen a live badger . . . although I have seen lots of dead ones! They probably don't count though. The first time I saw a badger, it was so dark it was really hard to see it. This time though I got pretty lucky.

Here's a video of one of the badgers coming out of it's sett:

Random Fact of the Day

My home province, Prince Edward Island, Canada only has 1 escalator. It's in the Charlottetown Court Mall and goes up one flight of stairs, so really, it's a bit unnecessary. There is a rumour that there may be a second escalator in Summerside, but as far as I know, this has yet to be confirmed.

I feel like someone should take a picture of our province's only escalator and promote it as a tourist attraction. JenMac, what do you think?
