The Island Life

This is Ronnie signing in for her first post away from the other Kwashikids. Its Tuesday and today is my day off! I finally have a job! Hurray! I am working in InchMurrin hotel, which is on InchMurrin Island in the middle of Loch Lomond. The island is the biggest island in Loch Lomond, but is still very small. The hotel is also very small (just a wee hotel) and I think my first week has been extremely quiet, so I haven't been working very hard. It seems that there are a few weddings coming up though so I will be kept busy and out of mischief. I have been waitressing mostly, but also doing housekeeping and being a KP some of the time, which sucks because no one likes washing dishes!

I am living in a rather shady little house with three other people. Rachael is my roommate. She is also South African and is from Durban. She is lovely and we have been having fat chats about home. Conrad is a Polish man who works mostly on the farm, but is the KP on the weekends when the kitchen gets busier. Then there is David the chef, who is Scottish and has been working in the hotel for 25 years. He keeps to himself and I'm not sure that he likes us all that much. Apparently there is a new barman arriving tomorrow, so we will have more company. Rumour has is that he is Australian.

That is all the news I can think of for now. This is Ronnie signing out. Ciao.

Me, Conrad and Rachael - I love an happy friend!
