All the stories about London’s bad weather have so far proven to be rubbish. Today was a beaut blue sky affair! It was nicer here than what it was like when I left Melbourne! The hangover meant I missed most of the morning but the afternoon was great! Got myself a mobile SIM so my phone works in the UK now. Spent the rest of the day outside Terry’s place on the grass eating pasta salad and drinking Italian beer.. tough life eh? 😛
I dunno what was going on exactly, but there were vans and vans of coppers and what appeared to be lots of people in red and red/blue soccer (sorry, I mean “football”) colours. I assume a game was on somewhere nearby??
25 quid for a weekly railpass is good, well, not when you buy it with Aussie pesos and it costs more than a monthly MET ticket, but good in that you get two days free travel and it can be used on all buses because it is a Zone 1,2,3 ticket.
It took about 1:45 to get from Terry’s to Grant’s using bus and two train lines.. I’m kinda doing alright on the trains so far.. finding Grant’s place once getting off the train was a little bit more problematic though.. One day I might try navigating this place sober and see what happens.. a map would help too..
No photos yet. I really wanted a shot of the blue sky today (and the cruise liner right outside Tezz’s!!) but I’ve been travelling light so far.
Ha! A gentle reminder, those islands are btw the North Sea and the end of the Gulf Stream. Just wait….
hehehe yeah I know.. but it was so funny sitting outside thinking ‘Melbourne was worse than this!’ hehehe
Kinda cloudy this morning (8:29am)
Welcome to London! We may have had clear blue this morning, but by the afternoon it’s gray and rainy…weather has become my tertiary passion since I’ve moved to London. Hope you’re enjoying yourself and settling in. (BTW, I’ve made my way to your blog through cfsmtb).
Was blue sky this morning.. now blue and grey.. might head to Oxford today. Grant reckons there’s some interesting things to see.
Are you in London?
Yup, for another 35 days and 22 hours at least; then it’s back to the States for some proper job-hunting! Of course I leave just as the weather turns wonderful, but it’s been fun none-the-less.
