Karma on the beach

Maybe it's karma for you, but after yesterday's entry a Canadian lady emailed me and promised to have a look at my resume. I have to say, there's lot of good karma in this country - I'm constantly humbled by the generosity and friendliness of these people. So I sent her my resume and she emailed back to me with a long list of improvements - basically nothing wrong, but lot of little details that will hopefully make it easier to grasp. My warmest thoughts go to Outi who suggested this, and Joan who took the time to look trought the resume.

Also our new dishwasher arrived today and our handyman Frank installed it promptly. It's new and shiny (well, white actually - but shiny white!) and most importantly it's very quiet. Which is very important because the kitchen doesn't have any doors, so with the old noisy dishwasher watching TV was pretty much out of the question - the new one should make life easier. After checking that the first wash went ok, I headed to the beach.

It's actually better that the coast is cooler than the inland - especially in a weather like this you really need the breeze. Lots of young people on the beach - students! I know the type! and besides, all respectable people were at work. It was my first day of sun worshipping, so I had decided ahead of time that I wouldn't stay longer than an hour - I had sunblock 30 on, but still. I kept dozing off, only to be awoken by the next song starting on my iPod, and after an hour and a half I finally managed to get up and go and buy some ice cream from the beach cafe. Ben & Jerry's Cookie Dough, I might add - very nice and sweet, and totally forbidden. I don't think I burned though, but if I did it would so be my fault.

It was even too hot for yoga - I went, but pretty much no one else bothered to come. So we sat there chatting, and I got to meet Jack, Jason and Kelly's six week old baby. He was very cute, although very tired and cranky, probably due to the weather.

It's still hot, and I've been trying to drink as much as possible all day long. I made some cherry rose rooibos ice tea - about 1,5 liters, which I drank, and I've probably drank as much water too. I love this weather.
