Well it's been a week since my last post so I figured I'd fill you all in on what's going on. I finally feel like I'm starting to settle in here in Meavy. I have quickly taken over the bar and now mostly make drinks and only help with the table service when we're busy. The locals are quickly becoming friends, or mates as they like to say over here. Usually have about three or four drinks bought for me every night. I usually take them up on an Old Rosie, which is a 7.3% cider. After three you're feeling good. They are the cheapest and best tasting of all the english alcoholic products.
I've started to hang around more with this one girl named Michelle. She is the sister of the South African cook and she is really fun to hang out with. Really sarcastic, and really smart as well. We went to a dinner and a movie the other night. The only thing I have to do now is apparently ask permission from her brother if we can hang out more. Other countries are very strange about sisters.
St. Patrick's day is one week away and I'm really excited. The english don't really see the big deal in St. Patrick's day. They're all excited for St. George's day though. I don't think I've ever even seen that holiday on a calender.
I can very well see myself here for a long time. The only sad thing is it sort of feels like I'm setting up a life I can't live forever. Starting to think October 19th, 2009 is going to be a sad day.
Hope everyone is doing well
Bill
