The one thing I forgot...

...in the last entry... the strangest thing of all about finding a flat in London is...
3. Negotiating your rent. BIZARRE! The ad says "studio flat in Swiss Cottage, £200 per week" and what they really mean is, actually, we will accept offers from about £175 per week and depending on the type of tenants you seem to be, will accept your offer.

WEIRD.

Anyways, again on holiday mode today. We have been fortunate to completely avoid the tube strike thing. The line we travel on (Jubilee line) is run by a different company. All good.
So today we went to explore Regent's Park.
It's big.
And green.
And nice.
And there are birds.
Big birds.
And a wedding.
On a Wednesday.
Odd.

All well here. I am feeling better and Alex seemed fine all along (grr...)
Photos will be up soon.
I promise.

Trust you to be the only one to get the bot! All the best for first day @ School and for moving digs on Saturday. All your combined posessions should fit in one taxi! Mum
