Keep it going.

I am back at full time work now, waiteressing in the Family Lounge again for the Paralympics - so there isn't much to report on what else I have been doing seeing as serving meals to athletes and celebs is pretty much my whole life right now (hard life, I know)

I saw Steven Hawking and Ian McKeller (Gandalf !) on the day of the opening ceremony which was pretty cool and the other day I was graced by the presence of the beauitful Kate Middleton once again. I had to "clear the way please" as I was waiting in the corridor for the elevator and she walked past right in front of me! (no, I did not have a panic attack again this time)





Every night once finishing work, Red Mel and I have come to the conclusion of "why go home when the casino is so much closer", so we have been spending a far amount of time at Aspers Casino (so much so that we are now Bronze Level members haha)


Also, we have had held two 'Bacon Parties' at our house this week which is basically where everyone comes back to our house at 4am and we cook up lots of bacon, baked beans and eggs and it on the kitchen floor eating bacon sandwiches.

Yesterday's bacon party started at the Casino (surprise surprise) where we met a bunch of paralympian rowers from America and Great Britain. A couple of them had won gold medals and one of them (James Roe, the rower. Oh the irony) even pulled out his medal, which he'd been carrying around in his pocket for the past three days - just so he could rip it out to show everyone in conversation. Needless to say we were very impressed and spent the next 20 minutes taking photos of us holding/wearing/kissing/biting the gold medal.
FYI, those medals are really heavy.

you can taste the real gold

Other than that, nothing much has been happening lately. I am super busy planning my trips to Europe for the next couple of weeks. It's crazy to think that my time in London is nearly up (well, for now). I've had a fantastic time working and the Olympics and had so many incredible experiences- but I really do feel like it's time for this surreal dream to end. I am looking forward to doing something different, like go and explore what else Europe has to offer. This time next week I'll be in Swtizerland getting a visit from my mama, I can't wait !
