Seperated at birth?

A few months before school ended, a young unsuspecting South African came to do some temporary work as a learning support assistant (someone that helps the special needs students). Now Meghan came during the time I was over-seeing cover which meant I was seeing her regularly (as I was signing her time sheets :-)
I barely had time to sleep and pay bills, let alone socialise before school broke up, so Meghan and I decided we'd meet up in the summer holidays. And so we did. We met up for a "coffee" this afternoon (which ended up being 2 smoothies, a cup of tea, a bowl of chips and a sandwich) and had a good old natter. Then we came back to my flat and watch a good ole Rom Com, Definitely Maybe, before she headed back to hers.

This is Meghan on the couch shoving some toffee popcorn in her mouth before I took the picture. I'm sure she won't thank me for this picture :-\

During the course of the evening it was revealed that Meghan and I are uncannily similar. Are humour was pretty spot on the same and we enjoyed making fun of the same thing, such as the Chinese I ordered from, get this, "Wok-u-like". On the walk back to mine it was raining and my flip flops had no grip so I decided to walk home barefoot. In hind-sight, this wasn't a good idea as I got a fairly sizable bit of glass wedged in my heel. I said to Meghan that she could look at my blog* while I preformed minor surgery on my foot. She wanted to watch me extract the glass first - I would have done the same! Weird, slightly disgusting, but true.

You can just make out the glass on my fingertip, my camera doesn't do close-ups so well.
Anyway, I had a great evening and it was good to make friends with someone who is so similar to me ... I know I know - the world can't handle more than one Karen G...watch out world, there's 2 of us!!!!
*I had mentioned my blog to Meghan earlier in the evening and suggested it would be a good idea for her to blog while she was away from home - it's a good photo journal and a great way to share experiences with your family and friends.
