Films and Grazes

The children that live here are pretty funny, in the way that they have zero life skills. A full day of tears is in order if the play station three breaks (which it did) and manners are a total no no. Brats.

Sam and I have been mainly watching films and staying in because it has been a bit stormy of late. We have watched: Avatar, Angels and Demons, Leon (well good), 28 days later, lots of Americas next top model (Sam too), Aladdin, Endless sunshine of a spotless mind, Point break, Touching the void, Toy story 3 - woah, that's LOADS!

We cycled to the lake again the other day, swam accross it and back and then baked and cycled back which was a nice day of excerise. Last Sunday we got driven to Englischergarten which is one of the biggest parks in Europe and watched some surfers surfing an artificial wave on the river that runs through it! So surreal to see surfers in a non-sea setting. The wave didnt really appeal to me because of that. We drank liters of beer, ate some different foods (white sausage with a disgusting skin which we found out you're not supposed to eat) and a coleslaw type salad. Another sausage drowned in ketchup with a sprinkling of some sort of curry powder and a mass of potato salad (shit) and a HUGE pretzel - really nice salty chewy bread in a cool shape.

We also returned to the Greek restaurant with the family and shared a seafood platter for two which was actually to feed the five thousand. We finished it though and it was proper buff.

My present from Sam arrived a couple of days ago (rubbish not having a fixed abode sometimes) but it was worth the wait. It is a SLR camera, with loads of cool settings and a big zoom lens and different filters and it came with a film inside and battery and although is old, is in mint condition so das ist good.

I just properly applied for the Spanish teaching job (fingers crossed). The family have been in Austria the past three days so we have had the house to ourselves, but it's cleaning time now as they are returning today so I better go (also Americas next top model is on)

haha oh yeah also the other day we went to the park behind the house and went on a zip wire and about 3 minutes into playing I fell off and grazed my entire leg on the wood-chip and it was bleeding and Sam had to run home and get antiseptic wipes and a big plaster and some chocolate.
