Plans for London are well underway. I managed to book (and finally commit to) a flight to Amsterdam from Perth leaving 15 March (on Singapore Airlines no less!) and Dorcas and I managed to actually agree on and commit to booking a bus (hehe) back to London on 20 March. The bus fare was so cheap - 18 pounds each (!) - that I don't know how I'm going to be able to fly again! Best of all, Karina is actually going to be in Amsterdam for the entire period we're there and has even generously offered her house for us to live in! I was sitting there thinking omg what if she goes on holidays, what if ironically she decides to come to Perth for a holiday while we're there, etc, but I finally managed to contact her and she's going to be there! God, I haven't seen her in ages! Accomodation in London (for the first month at least) is all sorted thanks to Dorcas' sister's supreme generosity and I'm really looking forward to living there. Have a recruitment agency interview this Wednesday and another one at the end of February. Applied to a few recruitment firms online over the weekend. Found really cool sounding jobs like assistant to a 'high profile divorce lawyer'. Got excited. Spoke to the partner of the firm and he's even allowing me to take 6/7 months unpaid leave and still take me back at the end of my trip! Tenants appear to be happy with the house (well they should be with that rent!) and I'm pleased that my mortgage is being partially covered for a definite term so I have one less thing to worry about. So many people seem to be moving to or travelling to London / some part of Europe between March and December - it's so awesome I don't know when I'm going to find time to work. I've done some research and Europe seems to have the most awesome festivals but the problem is, who am I going to drag along! I know Glastonbury is all sold out, but apparently they're doing a second release this month. OMG I want to live in a teepee too and listen to awesome bands but I Have No One To Go With! Why did I not plan this all out earlier! I want to watch people roll cheese down hills, and toe wrestle, and fight bulls, attend the Love Parade, carry coffins down the main street, go to Oktoberfest and drink beer out of boots, and throw tomatoes at another 30,000 people and I cannot possibly go alone! I'm so excited about this tomato throwing that I'm researching waterproof cases for my compact so that I can take photos of tomatoes! Tens of Thousands of People Throw 100 Metric TONS of Tomatoes At Each Other!!! Sigh. I need friends. Would you like to be my friend... (by the way The Road has the lousiest ending ever. Garrs at it. Garrs!) |
