See, I told you I wasn't good at this whole blogging thing!!

Oh well, what's happening?

Summer has been awesome. I'm loving the summer. "Hot" is around 31 celcius, which really is about perfect. Above 40 is a little too hot, so I can do without it. Working in the heat has been a challenge, work doesn't have air-con, only a fan that blows in from outside so sometimes it's a bit like working in a hair dryer.. then I have people asking me "Why are the heaters on?". *chuckle*

I need to make some friends that are "my friends" preferably some witch friends. My spirituality has gone right down the tubes since coming here. I feel so disconnected. But when I have the time I lack the inclination - as happens with so many other things! - and Pagans are notoriously hard to track down.

It's been interesting at work with this boat full of refugees that have just shown up. Immagrants look at illegal immigration very poorly, and it's something I never thought about. They are very angry. They spent a lot of money and time to get into Canada (and in more than one case married a complete stranger who's language they didn't even speak) and have to spend even more money and work really hard to sponsor their families to come here, while these boat people just show up with their families and live off our taxes.

Really I'm not as vehimant about it.. Australia gets a fair share of boat people too. I don't know... like on one hand I'm as racist as the next person and I think the country's resources should be kept for its citizens, but on the other I'm compassionant. Their lives must be really bad for them to go to the trouble of immagrating like that, and who knows? maybe things are so bad over there the option of legal immigration is unavailable... I think generally people are too uneducated to have much of a say on the matter. And yeah, that includes me. Still, it's interesting.
