It's The Little Things

I've now been living in London a little over five months, or rather 21 weeks and 1 day... but who's counting?  I've sacrificed a sister's 18th, a niece's 12th and a brother's 25th birthday.  I've deferred a year's worth of study (not that it really mattered as it wasn't something I was fully interested in and committed to) and I've left a bunch of really good friends waiting in agony at the mention of my returning to Australia.  Some days have been a bit of a struggle, and at times the days have been pretty breezy too, but I left Aus to fulfil my individualistic ways and I'll keep on fulfilling them until I'm finished (or sick of it)!

Housed and Hired!

As you may have read in the previous post I have had a few weeks of stress and worry in regards to jobs and living arrangements, however that has now all been sorted.  In fact it was sorted last Saturday after a sad departure from the Chilled Rd gang.  It was especially sad that I had to leave my roommate and the beautiful roof view that Tooting gave me.  So I took it upon myself to spend a good two hours standing on the roof watching a storm roll over and taking many photographs of all of the different cloud formations and colours.
