Glenelg is a Palindrome, same spelling front and back. A lovely woman named Karen informed me of this at singing group last Thursday.
Singing group is wonderful! A whole heap of people, about 80 of us, get together and sing our hearts out every week. It's better than drugs! You actually get an endorphin rush. People don't sing enough these days. I hope everyone will go off and sing a song after you read this blog. I know I've had Bohemian Enrapsody stuck in my head this morning if you have trouble picking a song it's one of my favorites to belt out at the top of my lungs whilst running down the lovely beach that is literally a minutes walk from my hostel! Who could've drempt a better location? Sorry for that incredible runon sentence. I just feel like I have a lot to say today! :)
I have been hanging out with quite a few elderly people actually. I quite enjoy their company. They're (usually) pretty accepting and curious about me, unless they're feeling a bit grumpy (usually the men *coughcough*) AHEM! :D
I found most of my new friends at the lovely community center that has given me free range on their craft room. I'm currently making baby hats and practicing for when I'm older. Don't worry mum! Much, much older. They have also convinced me that I must come to folk dancing class on Thursday and Tai Chi on Wedensday AND Bingo on Tuesday, need I go on? They love their hobbies! I'm not complaining, it's keeping me well entertained.
I even gave a little computer class to a couple ladies who were wondering how to use in the internet. I found it requires quite a bit of patience, but I do enjoy teaching. Hmmm..career opportunity???
I made a friend, Karen, at my singing group. She's lovely and lives just around the corner from me so we walked her dogs on the beach AND I'm invited to Family dinner on Sunday. Boy do I love family dinner! It reminds me of home. Thank you mum and dad! Dad especially for all the lovely meals. I think it was one of my favorite things in the whole world. And now I get to enjoy it on the other side of the world, hehe.
Otherwise, I'm going to have new adventures every day and I will keep you updated. Key words: free internet. Gotta love the local library eh?
