Movin' In

Yesterday i moved into my new room. It has a mattress, a boiler and a window. My stuf looks nice spread over the floorboards.

Yetserday i went thrift shopping (that's what they call vinnies shopping here). I found that it is way more stylish to go to vinnies than it is to go to a thrift store. I found that they didn't really have the real retro aspects as we do in australia, it's mainly 90's stuff. I managed to pick up an sx-70 polaroid for cheap, in a nice leather case and was considering a typewriter, because i am practically dying without one!! It's good to feel a little more settled.

At midday each day they fire a canon from the top of a little hill in the middle of the city here, i haven't heard it yet, i think i must be too oblivious, people say how loud it is and how it always scares them. I'm starting to think it's a conspiracy.

Some other history about Halifax, the bottlo closes at 10pm, Sobeys (big supermarket) is open 24 hours, you cant get into clubs after 12:30pm, Kitchen Partys are very trendy.

okay, i'm going to find me some sx-70 film and get some photos processed, jeuj! (as they say in dutch)
