Boo!

My apologies guys and dolls… it’s been forever since my last blog! For those who don’t know, neither Mark nor I got the job we applied for. He was too smart and over-qualified and I couldn’t handle the male environment, apparently. Needless to say I was royally pissed off at such a bullshit excuse, but hey, it’s their loss and someone else’s gain. So, what now you may ask? Well, since I’ve sorted my visa and am allowed to stay (and considering what I paid for the damn thing) we’ll be staying here and try to make a go of things. I’ve got quite the clientele set up in the horsey industry… both training horses and coaching other riders, so I’m not really struggling. And Mark has gotten in with his old mate/boss (Chris) who he did pest control work with in his gap year. Apparently Chris has more work than he can handle, and Mark has given him a proposition to take over the work in town; an idea Chris was very happy with. It’s a little goldmine! It’s a field he has experience and knowledge in, and to top it off he’s pretty much walking right into a solid client base too. So next on our plans is to get a car and move out of this house. We have a mate who’s just moved back from the UK to his folks’ old house (they now live in Zambia, hence the house is empty) and he’s keen for some house-mates, and since it’ll be rent free, how can we say no! Hehehe Other than that, life carries on as usual… improvements are happening here, albeit slowly, but a change is brewing. It’s a great time to be here, on the gradual upswing… so who knows how things will pan out. But it’s exciting!! Hope all is well with everyone! Till next time (and hopefully not in such a long time), catchyalater!
