Update

Sorry I have been a little quiet, but I have actually been having quite a quiet time. I arrived a little over a week ago. Since then I have been keeping a lid on things. Went to a couple of outings with KT over the weekend managing to not drink at all but ONE of them. Yes, the one where KT caught me with her camera. I found a lovely place to live last week. The details have been mentioned in comments, but I will repeat. It is in Brixton and just down the road from KT's house (nearer the tube!). There is a nice big park around the corner with rolling hills and coffee shops and an outdoor pool that the Brits call a "Lido". I have borrowed some sneakers from KT's housemate and it is nice to be out and walking briskly again.

I started looking for jobs on Tuesday. This is great, but now it makes me feel unemployed rather than on holiday, and makes my midday naps feel lazy rather than luxurious. Damn job hunting! I have applied for a couple so we will see. I have been rather ambitious in my scope with some of them so it should be intersting.

I am feeling a bit guilty about not rushing out to see all of London. I think it is a bit of a hangover from rushing around and trying to see all of Europe ... "Oh gee!! You have a church too! Who would have thought?" But I think that perhaps there is a more subtle reason. Unlike France or Italy where it was all very new and different, in London I feel like I have just accidentally stepped onto the set for The Bill. It all seems oddly familiar.

Anyway.. that is about the news to date.
