I know, this is the second day in a row I'm complaining about the heat, and really I shouldnt because I miss it when it isn't there.. don't we all? Most of us seem to anyway.. Point is, that there are limits to heat, and I think mother nature is going a little overboard here. That's Canada or should i say Ottawa for you.. Work today was pretty much brutal. Working groundskeeping or any other job outside when it is 31 degrees, but feels like 41 because of humitity is just not cool.. and no, no pun intended this time :P.. One of the guys at work got actually sent home because of heat stroke today, I hope he is going to be ok. Probably nothing some cool air and lots of water cant fix, but he wasnt feeling to happy. The girls and I took it nice and slow today, had lots of water breaks in the shade, went for some icecream. Our supervisor left halfway through the day, and the other guy in charge basically told us to go hide somewhere in the shade without getting seen which made the day that much more enjoyable
So chances are we're going to be camping for the long weekend.. I am pretty excited about that, havent been camping in Canada yet. They say things should cool down a little bit over the weekend, which would be nice. we're going with a group of friends, to a campsite near Bellville, I'm not sure where exactly but it is on a lake so it should be fun. I'm a little bit weary of the billion hamstersized musquitos and dogsized horse and dear fly out in this country, but I figured I should at least give it a shot. I invested in bug spray and hopefully that will keep them "off" of me.. hahhaha...huhhh.. anyway.. So all we need to do is find a tent somewhere, sleeping stuff, and buy camping food and other stuff... Hmmm planning things a little further in advance could be good eh?
Other then that, I am slowly collecting my permanent residency info, takes a while but it is getting there. I called around for my physical, one doctor couldnt see me until august 16th! Fortunatly another could sqeeze me in some time next week, so that's good. appearantly they're going to turn me inside out, x-rays, bloodwork, even a psych exam...... dumdadumdum...

A billion degrees and counting.. upwards...
For some reason the first post in a weblog seems to be a very difficult thing to do.. or so I thought for a good two minutes... I had been staring at the computer screen feeling the pressure of trying to come up with something catchy, you know, amusing, funny, witty, brilliant, to start of this wondrous log of mine and nothing came of it when it suddenly hit me... I am sitting here in a little room, that after having been warmed by the hot afternoon sun, is now further heated by the radiance of two computers running, it is about 31 C in here, and I'm thinking, does it really matter how I start? Nope, I dont think so either..
So here it is then, my first post! Exciting stuff I tell you... I would like to encourage everyone to leave messages/comments to my postings if they feel so enclined :) Or even to start their own blogger, always fun. My weblog is still in the making, so bear with me for now, chances are the looks will change overtime, and hopefully some pictures will be added as time continous as well . I am hoping to use this log as a tool to keep people a little more informed about me, on a more regular basis then I have been updating so far.
Although I had to decide on what language to use for my log, for now as you probably have noticed, my log will be written in english as 99.9% of people that will be reading this know this language, but I am still not completely decided on the matter. Well that's it for now... Let the posting begin!
