The Adventures of Bear and Butterfly

Teehee, our friend Gusti sent me this link.  It’s a mind reader where you choose a double digit number, say 28, add the digits 2 + 8 = 10 then 28 - 10 = 18   Then, you look up the symbol related to the number 18 & focus on it & then look into the crystal ball.  Then it shows the symbol!  Bodra is so clever, he worked it out.  Mum, see if Dad can work it out!

Well, I had my last day at HoF.  I lasted three weeks!  Not my shortest career however (3 hours at McDonalds).  They offered to put me in Menswear where I would’ve been working with an awesome manager & doing heaps, but the reality of earning money more than just to get by is starting to motivate me.  So Supply Teaching here I come!  I’ve just got to stay focused on our travel dreams of seeing all that we want of Europe & hopefully Egypt, South America, India, Tibet, Canada… ICELAND!!!

Wonderful news is, Bodra is going to have a telephone interview with Symantec this Tuesday.  He will be doing heaps of study this weekend to really impress them & get a real interview.  It’s funny, he applied for the job Thursday last week & has had such an awesome vibe with it.  I did too, but I get excited over any prospects.  He spent ages with the recruiter (via email & mobile) to prime his CV towards the position, & it was well worth it.  BUT they take forever to get back to you here- especially as it is Summer & people are on holidays.

So yes, everyone be thinking super positive thoughts at 10am next Tuesday our time.  So that is 9pm Tuesday evening!  It’ll mean us moving to Reading & everyone tells us we’ll love it there.   Yay!!!!

The weather has been awesome all week, today Alice & Matri took me to a grassy spot by the River Thames for lunch.  I sat in the shade.  Alice is part Maaori & is from Mt Maunganui- small world aye!  Her & Matri were enjoying the sun, I stayed in the shade.  I will really miss the lovely people I met at House of Fraser- it was like a little world there, so many different nations & languages.  I have an invitation to visit one of the girls in three years when she returns to Ethiopia.  Her name is Firehiwot, pronounced Freh-wadt (hope i got that right), but all the girls called her Fairy.  The language they speak in Ethiopia is called Amharic.  Oh!  & butterfly is Berabero!  Of course I had to ask.
Bo & I may go to Reading tomorrow, Hilary will be there as her partner Martin is taking part in a rowing Regatta.  We’ll definitely be getting out to make the most of the sunshine.
