Monday/Tuesday:
Placeta. Kailtin bought a rugby shirt. i bought playing cards. susie bought An Education. rain. stuck inside so watched An Education. Free concert on the Costanero for independance day. go down. concert cancelled due to rain. it took us asking someone to reaise this. the fact that we couldnt here music and there were people walking away from the concert and the roads werent closed were not a give away apparently. went for drinks and went home. sleep. tuesday lie in then walked down to the centre to see the events of independance day - turns out they were in the morning. epic fail. got ice cream and sat in the square and watched lots of guys with guitars having a jam. internet cafe to upload photos. saw luni baluni in internet cafe but he didnt see me. took two hours to upload everything. went home. concert rescheduled for that night. went down. was late so only caught five songs. all very good songs. it was some old argentinian rock star. went home. sleep.

Wednesday:
Second day at el puma :] was much better than my first and i have lots of jobs to do [feed/water all the birds including a parrot that says HOLA and CIAO and the gammy toucan, feed/water rats, clean all of the above.] i then swept the whole avery room and took the rubbish over to where they burn it all. got home around half one. slept. bummed. went shopping with Vero and Kailtin. bought comfy black stretchy bumming things, eyeliner, mascara, a ring. came home. ate. bed. couldnt sleep.

Thursday:
Third day at El Puma. bit boring. fed and watered everyone. swept up. cleaned the bottom of the toucans cage and it got really freaked out, but i think it forgave me when i took it its fresh food and water, we´re definitely friends again now, or at least as much as two things can be friends when one of you has the other ones poo on you. also got some pig/hog poo on me, and bird poo. its been a very pooey day. then had to sweep a path and collect the twig/leafy things for the Chuchas whatever they are. involved lots of walking back and forth past the ostriches/hogs/a turtle. my view went a bit like this:
ostrich pooing-hog staring at me trying to freak me out-turtle lying there-hog walking towards me- ostrich doing what can only be described as checking its bum i still there-hog going mental when some men cut a tree down- turtle lying there- all hogs standing completely still for no reason- ostrich doing some sort of mating dance at me- one hog trying to have sex with another hog- turtle lying there.. and so on.
I madeabig old pile then did a final sweep of the whole path .. this had so far taken me about an hour and three quarters of sweeping and carrying and two men that work there came over to a]move the big pile id made and b] give me a rake as it might help me. i could have used you an hour and a half ago, but thanks. nobs. im pretty sure all the men there think im a well grumpy bitchbecausea tend to ignore them. i only do that because Norma told me not to be over friendlyandthey always seem to be laughing at me anyway so im taking the speak when spoken to approach. which they find even more funny. when i finished the path there was no one around so i just came home as it was twelve anyway. fell asleep on the bus. got home. had a siesta. went to fruit shop/bakery/supermarket with Kaitlin. in the fruit shop [in spanish] Man: what would you like? Me: STRAWBERRIES Man: oh alright, howmany? a little?? Me: no, loads, i love strawberries *man puts about ten in a bag* Man:is that enough? Me: NO dont be sillly... i like strawberries lots. i need more strawberrries. Man: do you like them with cream? Me: yessss Man: youll get fat you know Me: IM ON HOLIDAYYYYY Man: hahahahahahahahaha heres your strawberries. :] home. eat lots. dinner. ice cream shop. one kilo. woman thinks me and susie are hilarious for buying a kilo of ice cream every week but A] ITS AMAZING and B] its cheapy cheap cheap.
