The sun is burning on the back of my neck and I'm glad John B reminded me to put on some sunscream beforehand. After all, summer holidays have finally started last week and the temperatures aren't getting any lower. But because I was able to get a job during this time, I also earn something and can get us something to eat at this beach market. 

The dogs on Figure 8 may be untrained and I have a lot of work to do with them, but I also get paid a lot of money for it; the most important thing. And their owners are always extremely happy with me, so much so that they even recommend me. 

Emma Rose Routledge, the Pogue Princess and now official an Kook dog walker, how ironic.

 "Hey," I greet the blonde woman behind her stand, who smiles at me in a friendly way with her green dress. It is common among pogues to not be seen. "I would take two bowls of strawberries, bananas and half a watermelon." She smiles, types it into her analogue cash register and wraps a little newspaper around the strawberries so that they don't get crushed or tumble around in her bag. I gratefully stow away my purchases and pull my small wallet out of the right leg pocket of my beige cargo pants. Something I also have left over from my mom. 

"Because I like your orange top so much and you're the first customer today, it's enough if you give me five dollars for everything." Out of all the flattery and random happiness, I beam at her very gently and tuck my front strands back behind her ears. As soon as I make a braid, they just fall out again after a short time because I cut them much shorter than the rest of my hair. 

"The day is getting more and more beautiful. Thank you, really, that wouldn't have been necessary." But she just waves it off. "That fits. Give my regards to your brother." 

I put my wallet away again. "I'll do it! See you soon." 

At the beginning it was new to me that everyone here knew each other so closely and my brother was probably a star in the cut. When it was announced that his twin sister was now living with him, people suddenly recognized me when I was out alone, which wasn't too rare. 

There are a few other stalls at the market that I walk past to check out. Including one who sells a lot of jewelry. I notice a necklace with shells, blue and green beads, like a gold starfish pendant. I also see a dolphin anklet that reminded me of Kie, but I prefer to make my own gifts and have decided to save a little. Plus, it's JJ's birthday next month, so I have to think about what he might like that doesn't turn into a stupid idea at the end. With my thoughts of him, I probably look amused and keep walking, not that the salesman still thinks I'm making fun of him.
