... an awesome roast dinner which we were so excited for, not having a home cooked meal in a while, plus pavlova for dessert, YUM! Her parents and brother Antony were super nice aswell, richard had never met them so we were up till quite late sharing storys etc, Leight thought it was weird that they were exactly the same as Richs family, Rich felt quite at home, very funny night. Then went to bed cause we were feeling quite jet lagged and hadnt slept properly for 20 days!

... all got "chips" at another shop. The next day (Wednesday) we had lots of orientation meetings and things to do at Faraday house. We attempted to go to an Indian restaurant for dinner, but didn't realize until we got there that you had to order a minimum of £10 of food each, so instead of eating most of us went to a pub called Shakespeare's head and had a few libations instead.

... home at Christmas! We'll let you know the plans! Today Kieffer, Sarah, Erin, and I headed to the Borough Market. It was HUGE! They had everything you could possibly think of ... Chocolate, Beer, Dead animals, Sea food, Baked goods, Sandwiches, Fruits and Veggies and a ton more ... As you may have guessed, I only took part in the first 2. Then we went on a bus tour of London.

... I WAS IN LONDON~! I quickly left my bag and turned straight back around to head for the Norbury train station this time taking the 20 minute train into London Victoria station.

Good: My job ...

Well Life has been continuing on, as it does. Winter has gotten it's claws into everything again. The trees are almost bare, the coats are on, and we have been plunged into darkness. But Christmas is on its way, and this keeps people happy for a bit longer. We have been lucky enough to catch up with some people from home, which i find very exciting. It is funny how once you start talking ...

... a lecturer there. She took me on a tour around the training college - built in 1929 and the lift is one of the oldest in the country - it's actually hired out to filmers sometimes - then to a nearby pub for tea. Veggie burger!! Yummo! Parted company here and then went to southbank with the aim of taking some evening happy snaps. The picadilly line (goes to the airport) was out of service due to security concerns. Got a couple of night shots ...
