5ive Gears In Reverse

 THIS POST IS BACK DATED SOMEWHAT!  

VOID VOID VOID

Seems whenever I get up to Canada the posts dry up? Is it because I'm leading a dull lifestyle, one prone to being repetitive? Well, yes. I consider it a perk of the job. I mean to do the same thing every 3 days it has to be a perk, right? Or a curse? I do not profess to knowing!

Currently I'm injured and meant to be typing this with one hand but in secret I am typing with two. It's not so much the hand actually that hurts but the wrist. To give this story some context:

"I was taking a teacher tray (conical shape on the bottom, flat surface on the top; filled with goodies) up to the other building of the camp site. I managed that successfully but when I was returning down to the kitchen I happened up a wet patch on the stairs, slipped, regained my balance and then decided to slip again. Keeping the teacher tray in mind I moved it to protect it from me falling on top of it. Sadly that wasn't the case and I managed to collect the top of the tray with my nose and mouth whereas the bottom collected my thumb. The back of my wrist hit the ground fairly hard and at some point I've hurt my ribs from over extending in the fall"

So it kind of sucked for all concerned. I tried to work but turns out that is not the greatest idea for wounds. Every minute or two I would be calling for another of the kitchen staff to be assisting me and that was extremely counterproductive so out I was rushed. There's a little bit of frustration on my behalf regarding worker's compensation. No working means no money, right? I would like a little bit of reparation. As hard to believe as it is - I would much rather be working right now than typing this. YES. I would. But instead I am not to be working so I can recover properly. I don't want an X-Ray either. There's no such thing as good radiation. Unless the result is super powers. Political super powers!

Apart from doing the same thing every three days for the last month, I have decided to go back to England in the middle of December. It's a good time. I've found a job that will pay me nicely and, especially during December, the tips will be flowly quite freely. My main concern is not having enough mental time off. Hopefully I will be able to take a whole lot of pictures while I am there. That's something I want to focus on. I'm not usually one for them but I'll be damned if I'm going to let my location dictate my photography.

So it will come about in an ugly way that I am returning to England. I'm returning to the place I so happily fled more than 18 months ago. I will go back with my tail slightly between my legs but I'm also quite open to the challenges this new venture will take. I am curious to whether or not I should continue OCamnada seeing as it was a blog set up to recount my adventures in Canada. Should I continue it as a personal blog or WHAT?! I am curious to what people think.

It has been a good adventure.
