Margo's Birthday

I had another shift at the Beacon Hill Children's Farm this morning. My task today was to clean the chicken barn, which turned out to be quite fun. Cleaning the chicken barn sounded easy enough, however, it was quite a challenge since there were still several chicken in the barn. The chicken weren't too happy about me cleaning their barn: They didn't really want to move when I needed them to and in addition to that, they were making a lot of noise. Somehow, I still managed to finish my task and just when I was about to put clean sawdust into the barn, I discovered an egg. For some reason, that egg really surprised me since I hadn't expected to find any eggs.


Afterwards, I walked Downtown in order to pick up my paycheck. I got a little more money than I had expected due to Labour Day, so this was a nice surprise. After putting the money on my bank account I took the next bus home.
Back at home I took a shower and had some lunch. I had to be at work by 5 PM so I was happy to have a little bit of time to relax before then.
My shift at work went by quite fast as I was busy tidying up the store and cleaning some shelves. There was a customer that actually came back about three times today to buy some more stuff. I ended up chatting a bit with her and found out that she was actually born in Germny but had been living in Texas for quite a while now. I was working on the Garden side on the store, which was kind of new to me since I usually worked on the Royal side. Thus closing on this side was actually a bit interesting as I didn't really know where to put all the different items.

After work, I walked to 'Canoe' in order to meet up with Katrina, Margo and Tuulia. We were celebrating Margo's birthday. The others had already been there for a while and were just finished eating dinner when I arrived. I didn't want to order a full meal anymore since it was already past 9:30 PM. However, I had some leftover fries. Throughout the evening, I also had two ciders, which were really tasty but quickly made me feel drunk. There was a live band, the "Electric Sex Panther", playing and they were really good. Some of the band members were also really cute.
During the intermission, I asked one of the band members if they could dedicate a song to Margo because of her birthday. In the end, they dedicated a song to three different girls whose birthday it was today, but it was still kind of cool (although they mispronounced the name). I also decided to dance on the dance floor sometime during the second half of the concert. It was super fun and after a while, I convinced Katrina to join me. Margo and Tuulia didn't really dare to go dancing at that time. Nevertheless, the two joined me on the dance floor for the last song of the evening. All things considered, the evening was super fun and when I left, I felt totally drunk because of the two ciders I had drunk.


Back at home, I had some macarones which Margo had brought from her workplace for dinner. By now I had figured out which flavour of macarones I liked best: Strawberry cake.
