Too tired for a Fun Fair?
I'm at Pascale's place in London now.
Emily and I went out last night and met some of her friends at a bar where some excellent jazz musicians were playing. It was so cool; we drank Bailey's and Amaretto, and then I almost fell asleep in my chair, so we went home and crashed.
This morning we bludged a ride on the tram and Emily saw me off at the train station. Ar, I was really sad to say goodbye, cos I had such a wicked time, and it was so good to have an ordinary friend around who knows you really well so that you can just relax and not care about anything. Miss you already, Emily!
In Amsterdam I took another superb ezyjet flight to Luton, paid too much again to get the train to Lewisham (very easy) and bowled on up to Pascali's house just in time for dinner. Roast kiwi lamb! Also met about 15 of Pascale's friends and was totally overwhelmed, watched a movie with them, and now they've all gone out to a Fun Fair (it's where you go to have fun) and I've started crashing like a downhill wheelie-bin race.
Tomorrow I check out the local church and leisure centre (these are of equal importance) and sort out my UK sim card for my phone. Pascale's house is really nice, and is super close to the train station, a park, and a shopping mall. I can't wait to work out tomorrow, I feel like a rubber band.
Wish me luck with the job hunt that starts this week!
