The weekend is here!

This week I started working again for an IT company, so life if getting back to normal for me now. Lisa and I just have to settle into our more permanent apartment, where we know we have a more permanent base, we'll be happy. The new place is West of London in Chiswick Park. It's a little like Leichhardt, where there's heaps of little shops/restaurants in the area, so it'll be just like home.

We were starting to enjoy living in Kensington, but prices here are just a little crazy. On Kengsington High St, a new gourmet organic food hall called Whole Foods (http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/UK/kensington/index.html)just opened up and it's a massive complex. Lisa and I went in last night to look at the food, has lots of food, good cheeses (plenty from France), a good selection of Wine, even some great brands, like Brokenwood, Cullen, Katnook, etc. Very impressive. However Lisa and I are hear to get stuck into the European wines. Pity we're not going to living in to live in Kensington much longer, or else we can just go and stroll down to the store.

Tonight, we'll hit town, go out to dinner and see the city at night. We haven't done so for a while because we've been old farts and usually go home before the sun goes down. Maybe try and do some night photography tonight.

Some new photos have been added to the web.

London Week 4

Another weekend has just ended, and the weather was a hot 24 °C for both Saturday and Sunday. Quite amazing that London could string 2 really good weathered days together. Lisa and I spent the days exploring London city, walking around near Chelsea & Brompton, Oxford St, Regents Park and Marylbone St. We also went to Harrods to get a bacon and cheese role for lunch. It came straight out of the oven, hot and steamy.....yum!!!!

I think we’ve seen most of London on the north side of the River Thames, we’ve just got the south side to go. We’re getting used to the bus and tube lines so have become not so reliant on maps.

I’ve been offered a job as well last week, so will be starting work this Wednesday. It’s good to know I will be working again..... maybe that’s because I was not working, but somehow when I am working I wished I enjoyed my time off, but I couldn’t enjoy my time off without money to spend. One great thing about this place is it’s quite close to where we will be permanently living on the outskirts of London. I should be able to cycle to work in the future. The only problem is it’s so far from the City.

I can now enjoy 2 days of unemployment, knowing I have a job to go to, and earn some important mula!
