who would think

Who would think that working would take up so much time! Well it does and ultimately takes my time away from doing things that I can blog about! But all in all it is going well, have been buying uniform, helping people with 'the Duchess dress' and partaking in two equally massive nights out making me feel 18 again but then reminding me that I am not.

Looking forward to the next month filled with visitors from home, getting ready to move to a permanent home and hopefully more drinking sessions.

I'm back..and what a busy few weeks!

Wow! It has been some time! And firstly I apologise. We recently moved move to our first share house accommodation in Finchley Road and all the amazing creature comforts we had at AM's were not there and this included internet. So due to not having the internet I was unable to fill you in with all that has been happening.

So what happened when I left off last??

Well as you heard above we moved to our first temporary share house accommodation in the North West of London. Such a convenient place to live, so close to work...ah that's right I got a job! Have been working there for a few weeks now and have been training, meeting new people and just trying to enjoy London working life. In between all this we managed to get a weekend away to Brighton. Brighton is great! I love it there. It brings you back to your childhood playing arcade games, eating fish and chips, searching around for ice cream and digging in the antique shops in the area (where I found art deco plates - score!)

We had another few 'firsts' in the last few weeks - we went to our first music gig (an American band called Mona), saw our first football game (Fullham vs Arsenal) and put a deposit down on our first permanent rental flat! Fingers crossed all goes well and we move in mid July. In time for a few of our visitors to stay (Marija & Brando) but just missing out on others (Mum and Dad included - whoops).

The next few months are looking to be busy from visits from friends and family back home and hopefully potential trips away, which will all ultimately depend on work giving me the time off.

Here's to the next few weeks and lots of interesting reads for you ahead!

Dangers of living in London!

I started my job this week and can I tell you it's been a long week. Why did I want a job so desperately? Oh that's right I need to survive somehow. Actually working isn't that bad at all, its just that when you are not working, you kinda get use to it and somewhat lazy.
After making it through my first few days of peak hour tubes, business people barging you in the street and oh my favourite -cancelled tubes, I was shattered! You see I've experienced it all within 3 days. At least I am prepared now of what London work life can throw at you.
There was one thing that I have also worked out about London tube travel though, it can be quite dangerous! Did you know that travelling tubes can lead to deep vein thrombosis, otherwise known as DVT?? There is actually a whole week dedicated to awareness so it must be bad right? So I will now add DVT into the danger list along with hair loss from the terrible British limescale water.
What have I gotten myself into?! I'm going to come back bald and wearing circulation tights...eek!

This is the East

London's East is soon to be my new home seeing I am now located there for work (yes, they count St Paul's as East). The East holds quite a diverse range of people from hipsters to tramps (homeless in the UK sense) from bankers to artists.
We spent a bit of time on Sunday searching the stalls at Spialtfield markets and discovering the independent stores on Brick Lane. Oh and enjoying the amazing foods from around the world.

Walking around the streets showed to me what London is all about. It is about culture, music, fashion, trends and being into life.

Royal wedding wrap up

The Royal Wedding - a day filled with loads of eating, drinking, beautiful people, the happy couple, hot Harry and Pippa in that dress!

Hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!

So English - Pimms!
