Anybody hear any London news lately? Big story this week, a man stood on a bridge for 4 hours before finally jumping, into the river below. Sure, it’s cold, grey, wet and unfriendly here, but it’s not really that bad!
Were staying in Bayswater, in a medium term hostel. It’s a great location minutes from two tube stops and short walk to Hyde Park. Looks like we will be here a bit longer than the 2 weeks we originally thought, but it’s not a bad place, full of aussies and kiwi’s who are all pretty friendly.
Christine’s agencies have been great, finding her 2 days work in the first week and a full week in two schools this week. Damien has spent most of the week online looking for work, as well as running around London for meetings with accounting recruitment agencies. They are quite mixed in their views, some say it won’t be to long before something comes up, others a bit more skeptical. Fingers crossed, here’s hoping sooner rather than later!
Other than that we haven’t done a great deal, we spent our first weekend visiting Shepherds Bush, to see the big shopping centre and watch Australia beat England in the rugby union , in a pub. We also headed down to the markets at Brick Lane to meet Kieren and Elise (Damien’s cousin), for lunch, since they were in town for the week. They have been living and working in Denmark, so it was great to see them before they head home for Christmas.
