strange things happen


I am a little excited and a little breathless.  I have just received an email informing me that a job I applied for 'is now available'.  I'm hoping that this means I get to go to a interview - please keep your fingers crossed for me.

In other job news, I was offered two jobs overnight last week.  On Wednesday night, a customer at work offered me a job at his cafe.  Now, either the world has become really cut-throat or there is a shortage of good waitresses in Australia.  The second happened whilst I was at the GP's on Thursday .  After my consultation, the doctor offered me a receptionist's job at the surgery.  I'm hoping that this is a run of good luck or divine intervention rather than coincidence - especially since that email arrived today....

The yummy things in the picture are pastizzi.  They are, according to Wikipedia, 'the most popular and best known culinary export of Malta' (surely that is opinion rather than fact?  Unless there has been a study regarding the fame and popularity of Maltese food around the world, I guess).  They come in savory and sweet versions and are very satisfying after a lazy Sunday spent browsing for furniture.  I highly, highly recommend them for being tasty and cheap (but not the kind of cheap where the price makes you think they're more delicious than they really are - I'd still recommend them even if they cost more).
