Heat wave

I'm meant to be going to the Maritime today but it's 28 degrees or something stupid. I did my first catalogue walk today and the heat was unbearable. It was horrible. I'm not sure how I'll go doing it again if the weather keeps up like this. Also, there are far too many streets to cover. I'm doubt I'll keep going. I have a fair few left over too. I thought I covered almost all of the streets in the allowed area. After I got home I jumped straight into a cold shower and I'm feeling better now but I don't want to go back out into the heat. I shouldn't miss the volunteering though as I said I'd go and Rona has probably got some tasks for me written down. I don't have long to decide either. I might be needed at work tonight and I really hope I'm not because of the weather. It'd be packed. Knowing my luck they'll get me in. I don't have much time to decide if I'm going to the Maritime or not. I wouldn't do much here at home. I'd eat as I'm hungry, and try to escape the heat while reading my new museum book Making Museums Matter. I don't know what to do. I'd have to call up at some stage. Ahhhh I may as well go. Once again I'll die of the heat but whatever. I may as well go. I just hope I don't have to work as well. Ahh.

Getting paid to walk

I got a new job! A while ago I applied for something I saw on TV about making money while you walk. Today I had a missed call and called back and was offered a position taking out catalogues in the Snug, Electrona and Conningham areas, not too far from Margate. I'm going by the place tomorrow, I guess to pick up the catalogues, and then on Sunday and Monday I'll go a-dropping. I won't make too much money but I may as well make a little extra while getting fit and doing something productive. It might only be $15-$20 a week but it's better than nothing and it all adds up. I've been getting tips too. Haven't been saving them as much as I should as I love having gold coins in my wallet.

Speaking of walking, about 45 minutes ago I started on a walk with Katie when it started to rain really heavily. I had to run back to the car with her and drive up the big hill back home [only takes 1 minute if that]. Now it has stopped but I wonder how long for. It was intense rain even if only for 10 minutes. I think it's still pitter pattering slightly. Another time. Might go watch a movie!
