Woohooo got a home AND day work....

Well good news... went back to Peurto Portals today as got a call from an agency for day work 2mrw as a chef on a 22 metre private motor yacht. So off I went, had a chat with the skipper, really nice English chap, he´s a yachtmaster teacher person, used to work in Amble near UKSA. The owners are English too and spoke to the wife, its them and their friends on board 2mrw BUT they are Jewish. So no, pork , thats proscuitto out the window then... no meat unless kosher, so no... and no seafood... but they do eat salmon but only cold, but as they have guests they will have it hot if its a pain... er too right.. well anywhere the yaacht is lush and the skipper lovely... ironically he took out the Nando´s partners on a trip a few years back...pissed heads the lot of them! He said... not wrong.. Not only is it just 3 courses for 4 of them but I will be getting 150 euros for the day! Very good rate as average is 80-100... if it goes well too they are looking for someone for the season next year.. so thats cool. Well my other news is after spending so long doing the dockwalk and getting my cv out I ended up getting rightly hammered in the corner bar which is the yachty haunt to network and get drunk, met some cool people and swapped numbers with 2 kiwi chicks who were great fun and been in the industry a while so lots of tips... anyways they both said they scrapped the hostel thing as was too expensive, i am spending 30 euros a night and i donñt have cooking facilities so having to eat out etc, plus washing i have to do elsewhere as they don´t have a service for it.. yes its been great as its rustic and has a bar... but practically... nope... anyway, told that i would pay about 100 a week for a flatshare so looked at the boards today and called a few places and viewed two but bit damp and grotty, didn´t feel too safe and would be leaving my stuff daily and sharing with complete strangers... well, went to portals to see this skipper and popped in to see Linda, the chick at the internet cafe who i know quite well from being on Gemini and using her shop often.. told her I was looking and she made a call to her friend who has a spare room... she just called me now to say , you can move in 2mrw, drop your stuff here before you go for your daywork and you can stay there up to a few weeks... she is English and in her 40´s so can trust her... plus this is the area that Sid Owen lives so increasing my chances of seeing him again.... Rickaaay!! The only negative is that it means getting a bus into Palma town each time to see agencies and do the dockwalk but I guess thats not the end of the world...
