Not so much travelling. But still a foreigner. Kind of.

So I haven't posted anything for a while because I'm not a traveller anymore. Well not really. Although yesterday I did go to Oxford. Also about 3 weeks ago I went to meet/visit my family in Cornwall.

I've been in London now for.. heck, almost six weeks. What a time it's been!

Firstly I have to give a big shout out to my good, dear, kind, generous and good-looking friends Tom and Charlotte. I can say good looking because after staying in their living room for about a month (with a few small breaks) I, unintentionally, have seen both of them in their underwear. I don't believe it happened the other way around. Win! We did a lot of eating together, cooking and more eating, they introduced me to the repulsively addictive 'Made in Chelsea' and Tom and I drank a lot of percolator coffee and wine (not together). Good times!

Now, fortunately (only because I really wanted to have my own wardrobe) I am no longer taking advantage of their hospitality but I am now living in my very own room with my very own wardrobe, with three Kiwis. One of whom refers to most other people as Brett. (or 'Britt' more accurately.) You get two points if you get where that's from. (You should so that's why you only get two.) I feel like I've hit the suburb jackpot because my flat is about 2 minutes from a tube, a good coffee shop (this is actually miraculous in London) and about 4 mins from a big park where you see squirrels! I also live above a 24 hour shop that sells most things you would ever need 24 hour access to.

On the work front, as predicted, London is not exactly brimming with jobs that are throwing themselves at me. That said, it really hasn't been too bad. I'm working casually at one language school and have had bits and pieces of interest in other places too, so hopefully more will develop soon enough.

I'll write a list of random things I've done without any context; Jack the Ripper walking tour, lunch at home of people I met at a church, ate an ostrich burger, met someone off gumtree, stayed in the Mercure (and heck no I didn't pay for it), made a pasty, had dinner with two spaniards, taught a class of 8 Italians for a week and now I'm editing someone's first novel.

Who knows what's going to happen next, I definitely don't!

Here are some pictures just for funsies. (These are all of Cornwall but when I put more up I'll put more up!)
