Tourist time!

Hi everyone,
I'm counting down the days until my technology problems are resolved but in the mean time here's a new post!
As of today I've been away from Orkney for a month. Since I've left there's a couple of people who I've missed like crazy - you know who you are - but I'm also really enjoying the chance to be back on the road, see new places and learn loads. If I can just figure out how to teleport my favourite people over here then it would be perfect! But on with the show...
The weather on Thursday morning didn't look too great so it was time to take a break from the garden and move to the office for my first attempt at telesales! Now luckily the people I was calling were all already French Locations clients or were seriously considering signing up - so no angry replies or people hanging up: success! Unfortunately a lot of them weren't actually home when I rang but the ones that were were very nice. By early afternoon it had brightened up so it was time to get back to the garden and it was a great chance to get the strimmer out! I do love as bit of strimming, you can just stick some music on, zone out and as long as you avoid the cable you're fine! Before I knew it it was way passed time to clock off so I finished up and went for dinner. I then spent the evening failing to find a home for after this week and watching a documentary on how difficult it is for Indian women to get by there even in these 'modern' times. Having spent some time there last year I already knew quite a bit about it but this documentary was much more in depth.
Friday followed a similar pattern to the day before. I started with phone calls and finished with strimming. In between the two I spent a little time re-waterproofing my jacket. Unfortunately I managed to forget the part where it said to wear a mask for the fumes. It wasn't a problem until I went back in for dinner and the place was still full of it leading to a rather loopy skype call thanks to the fumes - won't be doing that again.
Today has been day off no.2 for this week and I decided to spend it being a tourist. I walked the 2-3km down the coast to Paleospace L'odyssée. The nearby cliffs have given some amazing fossil specimens, especially from the Jurassic period, including over 30ft long pliosaurs (marine reptiles) and dinosaur remains. The museum entry ticket may have been the most expensive thing I've bought over here so far - 7,50€ - but to be fair I've only spent the equivelant of just under £20 since I've been here!
Fortunately I'd say the museum was definitely worth it; there were even English translations!
When I finally left I bumped into Peter and Jan - two of Anne's tenants - right outside. We went for a coffee and they invited me to a nearby market with them tomorrow.
Once we'd finished I went for a walk by the lake next to the museum but after almost having to defend a stray child from a rather thug-ish looking swan I called it a day and headed home to rest for more exploring  tomorrow.
Stay tuned and I'll speak to you soon!
