Here and Now

I'm on a Mac again. And it's in great condition, hardly any software, not much running, and still, it takes hours for the letters to appear on the screen. It only has one task, why can't it do it right? Seriously, it's like having Hugh Grant as a keyboard.

Why am I on a Mac? It's a long story. I'm not at Sarah's anymore. Most of you know my sister went on her Around the World Gap Year trip. So I said goodbye to her in March, and she's only back in England September 5th. That's a hell of a long time to not see your sister for (I was away seven weeks before and that was long, but this has been horrible). For her last two weeks, she's in Canada, for my cousin's 21st birthday (Roan, I went to Ireland with him last Christmas with Yunhae, you remember!). I've been wanting to go, but tickets were around five hundred pounds. Far too much. I found one for 400, but still, it was too much. Eventually, I found one for 275, and my father agreed that I should be there, especially since my mother was flying out to be there as well, a big family get together. Then I found the exact same flight for 210 pounds. Bargain. And I'm here, in Nova Scotia. And I love it. Canada's like the holy grail of countries for me. It's got awesome family, it's beautiful and everything is cheap. It's a very easy going lifestyle.

Anyway, I can't go into details, it's late, and I should be sleeping soon, but I thought you should know. Driving here, by the way, is horrible. The cars are alright (hardly any German cars apart from Volkswagens), but the speed limits are draconian, and brutally enforced by hundreds of police cars. Major highways, and you can't go more then 60mph.

I'll let you know more soon, like tomorrow, we go to a remote lodge for a few days. I'll be on soon!
