greetings from the mainland
its strange to be off the island
ahh well i'll be back on the uk soon enough
so anyway
the victoria saga dun dun duuuuunnn
read the previous post for the prequel
im stood at the door to my old place in vic and i walk in hollaring
hunnnnnny im hommmme
only to find kyler isnt even home yet
but jer was
sooo we had a few beers
then the boys got home accompanied by jesse the white tooth! and Karin
it was really good to be home again and seeing the guys
we just kinda hit the beers hard and then the whiskey as jer's boss had given him a bottle for his birthday
and played a great game called apples to apples
its a game where you get an adjective card
and multiple noun cards
and play the noun that goes with the adjective
ok so that doesnt sound fun but
when you have words like
furious
and the nouns that people play include
giant squid
pirates
tommy lee
etc
it gets pretty fun
so we played this till i dunno was probably around 2 am
then me and jesse slept on my old mattresses in the middle of the floor
so woke up with a rather sore head
and had to mission it all the way to america ( with a stop on route to print off my flight details )
this was going all to plan until the us homeland security guy took a dislike to me
it went along the lines of youve only got 5 mins till the boat leaves
then you stink of booze
your drunk
my reply sorry im late officer i was drunk last night i havent had time to change and what do i need to fill in
oh some forms you wont do them in time
so i filled them out seriously quick then had my prints and photo taken and i ran and got the boat just as it left
beauty
coming back into canada was easy just the printer died so we had to go across to the vehicle check side
where i bump into some lasses who had been riding during the week and recognised me
so with 10 border guards around me we start having a laugh about how id been having to drag them out of the way when they bailed off the green chair
it was obviously a current office joke as everyone was pulling their legs about it
i then went for dinner with dani , our old couch surfer,
and it was awesome we went and got kd and made deluxe kd ( kraft dinner , its mac and cheese in a box ) with onion and real cheese and red pepper and fake chicken ( dani's a veggie )
and it was delicious!
then we sat and drank beers and put the world to rights before i headed off for my next engagement
it was a beer with brit ( a fellow sport checker ) actually she got my old friday and saturday night shifts poor lass
and it was great we bumped into kabuki colin from last summer and chatted to him for an age
then it was time for a beer in swans
and man id forgotten how busy bars in vic get on a friday night ( yeh i had completely forgot it was friday even now im on mountain time so i have no idea what day it is )
i still had my bag with all my crap in
we eventually found a table
and it was great we just chatted away had a couple of beers and it was such a nice evening
then i headed home
well got home at gone midnight
doors locked
no one in
no spare key
bugger
phone was dead so headed to a call box tried calling kyler and ohh it went to his voicemail damn it
so trekked back to dtown vic
grabbed a beer and decided to stay in the hostel for a night
rocked up at like 130 am
was needing to get up at 4 am so was like hey guys can i crash on the couches
no bueno i had to purchase a bed for the evening
so did and then stayed up chatting to the nice german and dutch girls in my room till about 2 30
then got a nice little nap
then up again and off for the bus
yay
so back up the mountain and i had a great days riding
well a morning boarding then an afternoon planking ( skiing )
i rode every lift and ripped it up
plankings easy me and simon found it a little more social able than boarding as we wernt just racing straight down the hill
saturday night had a fannntasstic sleep
it was awesome to be back in my own rock hard bed with no heat in the room :)
sunday woke up to go riding and it wasnt nice out
was even worse up the hill so did a few runs then called her a day
and that was the end of the season 107 days not bad really
when i got home me and tyler just hung out and drank some beers watched some how i met your mother
was good end to a great season
monday i started packing
tuesday
