London News
Hello!
Thanks so much again to everyone who has commented and taken the time to read my blog, its been a long time since I updated and I have been away from home now for two weeks! I have been applying for places to live and been sending out my resume to job networks during times when I wasnt sure what to do next!
I have been having fun riding hte double decker buses and have just been jumping on a off to see where I would end up and then seeing how I would get back, I have to say the tube is a lot more easier to use than the buses though both are very regular. A couple of times I wasnt even sure where I was but whereever I go there are always good shops to look at if nothing else.
I didnt go to Hyde Park as planned because the weather was miserable and so was I with a cold which was inevitable given the long travel times and the changes in the weather but I'm glad i got sick here rather than Vietnam!
So the last couple of days have not been terribly exciting and I probably should have rested up more on Monday and Tuesday rather than bussing about, mostly going to the shops and taking short walks.
On Wednesday morning it was quite warm and I decided to walk rather than take the bus and managed to end up in the Kensington Gardens which adjoins with Hyde Park, the area is huge and would take longer than I had to be explored completly. I saw the Peter Pan momument which was really nothing special and also went to a small art gallery which was very abstract and very boring sorry to say, I wouldnt have paid to see it. I also saw the huge big gold statue of Price Albert which was apparently erected because of "services to the people" he must have hand fed starving children to a earn a momument that huge because it was incdredible and extremly detailed and well crafted, I want to know what I have to do to get one.
That afternoon I caught up with Sally Cleary my older, fantastic, beautiful, kind, giving (well you get it) cousin for those who dont know and she and I went to Trafalger Square which is the area outside the National Gallery and took some pictures. Then we took the bus to her friends Kellys house and we made spaghetti and stayed the night. The next morning ( Thursday 6th) was quite lazy and we got ourselves up and moving to first pick up keys to Kellys from Tim at the BBC and he gave us a tour though all the studios were empty...maybe they knew we were coming but it was still fun. Then we went and had burgers at the pub and started on some op shop exploring in Hammersmith, Sally bought a lovely suit and I bought some rad shoes because all I have are my runners and thongs, these are like sketchers only brown and pink and they are practical but also cool...I'm pretty happy...then that night we met Sallys mates Erin and Dave at the pub which was smoky so we moved on down to pizza express and we both ate a salad....no really...and we all had a good time and I hope all goes well with their wedding!
Well I hope I have more adventures to right about soon, Sally still has lots she has to show me so I will keep everyone informed.
thanks everyone again for commenting and I hope everyone is well!

SISTER!
Met up with Sally in old London town eh... sounds good, sounds good... you two should have a ball but remember what Adam said! No mis-treating our Sal or he'll get mad - i think i heard he'd say he'd fly over there...
Anyway, two weeks into it and you've only just begun, there's still entire England to search in which i hope involves a tour of the Hogwarts castle! Until then, stay away from soccer matches, Buckingham Palace (jk) and alleyways.
Also, come onto MSN so we can chat!
Love ya
James
