spiders, mozzies and no electricity
Hey all. a quick update - will post more specific stuff later.
moved out of Alder Valley this morning - thank god - we had a huge infestation of wolf spiders / hobo spiders or whatever tey are called, which are poisonous and a few girls have been bitten and it swells up. i have had them crawl out of my shirt, towel etc... and its not very nice.
I am doing day camp - starteing next wednesday morning until friday night - that means i get saturday, sunday, monday, tuesday (all days), wednesday and thurs and friday evenings after 6pm, and then friday night to sunday lunch time off - which is soooo good. i will be staying in nicer cabins hopefully, still with no electricity, but hopefully not as many spiders, although in saying that they did have to bug bomb the cabins next door last summer. plus the mozzies are bad there.
the last few days have been a bludge - the girls are old enough to not have to be told what to do all the time, so we have just been staying up really late playing clue and hanging around - and going nuts playing spoons on the cabin floor. last night there was a coyote sighting, which hasbn't happened in years, but we heard it just by our cabins. i am glad we didn't go out pranking last night like we had planned (to tape up the cabins) - just like off the movies esp the parent trap.
the yongest girl burnt her hand trying to pick up a banana boat and it blistered. so we did a skit about it at camp fire. it was pretty funny and i will get the troop leader to send me a copy.
so yeah, its really "hot out" as they would say. i am sleeping in the troop \house until wednesday so that means i have access to dial up internet and hot showers and electricity, and movies, and a kitchen - lathough there won't be much food.
haha when i moved cabins i lugged a HUGE wagon full of 'trash' and my suitcase up a HUGE hill and fell on my bum, slipping and sliding, and scared that if i let go it would go down the hill into the bushes, which it very nearly did. I was gonna get someone to help but i coudln't once i was halfway up. but i did it and burnt off the fatty food they feed us. it has improved a little bnit thoguh, we had sloppy joes last night and a good salad bar each evening.
on my break most of the international students are staying here - there will be a 4th July parade which i will go into carnation to see, and will probably go out for dinner to eat some real food. its canada day today so we sung its anthem, yay. fourth of july should be fuunny - apparently fireworks are really easy and legal to buy, but the best ones are the illegal ones from indian markets.
hope you are all well.
Love, mii xx
