She turns up trumps sometimes
My friend who has a special place in my heart and who also has itchy feet called me last night just to tell me she came back home from France. She failed to find some physio job in St. Tropez. She was able to prove her foreign praxis in physiotherapy as she had worked in New Zealand and Austria for plenty of months but despite of speaking English almost fluently no one wanted to employ her for her lack of French. Would you employ anyone who doesn't speak your mother tongue even though you need a physiotherapist for you guests? I don't think so. Instead, her belongings got stolen from her car. Her passport, a cell phone, credit card, driving licence and other things just disappeared when she she didn't keep an eye on her car for a few minutes. She noticed one of the car doors was slightly open and shortly afterwards rushed to the police. Apart from that she said St. Tropez was a nice place.Well, this trip was really worth making, just another dent in a row of her adventures. But to be honest, I wish I had her guts to travel, all alone, able to find a job, usually well-paid as physiotherapists are needed (except for France). Sort of like life would be way too boring if she should spent it only in her homeland. The truth is that compared to her three older siblings she earns much more.
I wonder what her next destination is going to be. She could make a bit shorter trip and see me at my place for couple of days. I sort of deserve it for promt blocking her cards after she desperately phoned me to do this. I did it sitting on a tree stool in the woods far away from civilization and was lucky (oh yes, she was lucky) that my mobil phone was able to catch some distant signals. It looks like this girl only remembers she has me when she needs something, but she turns up trumps sometimes. Of course, she knows I'm still around and that my phone number hasn't changed. When she phoned me from St. Tropez for help she just said: You are the only one whose number I remember by heart. And I wonder if she remembers it only because of knowing I'm still around.
