Back to work!!!

Back on the job at Magdelene Bridge, in a wet and sticky weather. According to everyone, I didn’t miss anything. Maybe a heat wave, too many chauffeurs, not enough tourists. In 10 days, not only was my tout board almost destroyed, but more than a dozen new chauffeurs got hired. Too many names to remember! It started raining real bad around 2 pm so we sat under the bridge for a little while, wrapped in blankets. A few Chinese tourists on self-hires came back from the pouring rain, soaked, without their pole. We should’ve made them go back and get it! Poor Natalie was on her first tour, on her first day. (“I quit!”) She also looked like she fell off her punt. The weather got better at the end of the day, and by the time I left (8pm) I had done 3 tours. Je suis allée voir la 2e joute de la semi-finale, avec Sal, Dan et Danielle, à Regal Weatherspoon. C’est gigantesque ! Supposément le plus grand pub/resto, à l’origine c’était un cinéma. C’est super beau et grand et la bouffe est cheap en plus. France vs Portugal, la game était intense, et ce sont les français qui ont gagné. J’ai hâte à la finale!! (France vs Italie). J’ai fais un tour au Granta Pub avec Danielle (la cousine de Sal). C’est super cute au bord de la rivière, j’étais jamais allée avant.
