After my last weekend I had to go back to work. Joan was still sick so I have been taking over her shifts as well, which means I have been working long days. I don’t mind it too much, I love my work and it’s not like I got much else to do anyway. I just go to the gym in the evening.

This time Russell did not give me the day off on Friday, so I was glad when the weekend came along again. I slept in, did another swim lesson with Dakota and Cordell on Saturday, watched movies in the evening and spent most of Sunday on the beach with Pete. Fortunately Joan has come back to work on Monday so it’s back to my normal morning shifts this week.

Life is just rolling along at the moment. The only difference is that I have made another friend; Pete. Lately we’ve been hanging out with the three of us; Lee, Pete and me. I never thought that when I would make new friends here on the island that they would be male friends. But it comes in handy every now and then; I don’t have to worry too much about other guys hassling me or trying to hit on me.

Tomorrow night we have another BBQ night with the three of us; this time at my house. I have after all a BBQ in the backyard, so I might as well start using it.
