Back to London Soon

The last week has been pretty quiet. I've been helping Linda get her school ready for the new classes, so I've been painting a lot. It's looking really good now!

I also threw my back out a few days ago which caused me to be an invalid for a little while. I think I got it from a few things: carrying the crates of grapes and containers of grape juice, painting, and to top it off I went for a long run along the boardwalk and it's cement (not the best material to run on). It's pretty much back to normal now and I finished all the painting today!

Work has been going good too. It's pretty laidback and quiet at the moment which is nice when it's a new job! It'll pick up once October comes around though.

I'm going to see "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" tonight. It just came out and I liked the first one, so we'll see how this one is.

Tomorrow I leave for London for a week! I'm going to stay in my previous flat with Gareth while I'm there. My aunt and 3 of my cousins are going to be there too; they'll be the first family I've seen since I left Canada in March! I'm excited! It's not going to be much fun getting there though since I'll have to take an evening ferry and arrive a the Athens airport at midnight-ish but my flight doesn't leave till 5:30am! Darn, another sleepover in the airport!

I'm not bringing my laptop with me which means I won't be able to post pics until I get back. I can post text though. There may be a possibility of meeting up with Tony next Saturday on my way back! His base is near Athens in Magalo Pefko so we'll meet up if he gets some time off; he won't know till Friday or that morning whether he gets the time off.

I have tomorrow off work so I'll just pack and get a few snacks and a magazine for the ferry and flight.
