10th - 12th July 1998

Friday 10th July
Woke up very stiff and twinging slightly.  Not a very eventful day.  Slept, talked, read, slept, wrote ....apparently we're an hour and a half late.  So we won't be in Toronto until 11pm.
Scott waited for us and picked us up and drove me to the hostel.  It was right opposite hookers corner but it wasn't bad.  It was kind of strange having Claire leave after all this time but I coped.  I showered and read and then fell asleep.

Saturday 11th July
Changed my wake-up call twice and eventually got up at 9:15am.  My plan was to go shopping today and then catch the later train to Niagara but Novella was working so she said it would be better if I go the earlier train.  So then I had forty minutes to get to the station. I checked out and hailed a cab on the street.  I had 10 minutes to catch the train and I made it.
Two hours later I arrived in Niagara Falls.  I called Novella and she wasn't there so I hoped she was on here way to pick me up.  She arrived about 20minutes later and I was so happy to see her.  We went straight home and soon Novella had to go to work. It was a hard life with the tv - Spice Girls on tv all night, and the pool!  We got some videos - I watched "A Life Less Ordinary" and chatted with Novella for a while.
