#207: Clifton Magician

207. This was the number red double-decker bus I used to get from Hayse, Middlesex, where I used to live when I was little, to Ealling, to visit my grandma, where she still lives now.

Although today wasn't about traveling around London, I did travel a little bit today, and was invited to do a lot more of it!

I was invited out for drinks with Cpt. Jack Sparrow, in Clifton (my favourite place in Bristol). He also happens to be a magician, so pretty much astonished me with card tricks like no other. I found out he used to work in Las Vegas, so you can only imagine just how good these tricks were...

More to the point however, the first bar we went to, had a spectacular view of the sun setting behind Clifton suspension bridge. And the second, was a place called The Fleece. I got chatting to a girl behind the bar, and we instantly warned to each other. I plucked up the courage to tell her how I was desperate for a bar job in Bristol, and to move up there, and ask her if she knew of anything that was available. She then told me that she was planning on leaning this place and that they would be looking to hire someone ASAP. She also mentioned that she was going away for a couple of weeks on a course, and was happy to loan out her room to me whilst I looked for an appartment. I could not believe my luck! We exchanged details and she said she would get in contact with me with more details.

If you want something enough, you've got to snatch up every opportunity you get.
