Well I've been over here for two months now and have been very slack with updating my blog sorry!!
My contract with Bain finished up a week ago so have spent the last week in Scotland which was awesome, now back in London going through the interview process etc to sort myself out with more work.
I moved into a flat during the weekend, it was soooo good to unpack my suitcase and have my own bed!
The last two months over here has seen me celebrate my birthday, another year older! It was celebrated in style on the Friday night with Flavia and her workmates, drinking Moet out of plastic cups on the Millenium Bridge by St Paul's overlooking London after the bells rung midnight!! The Saturday night I spent out in Clapham with friends, great music, great night.
I can say that I've been up to Brick Lane and had a curry, went to a bar called the Big Chill (for those familiar with the Raumati local, it's nothing like that, just the name!) Saw Les Mis the other week which I really enjoyed but there are still heaps more shows I'd like to see. Went to Taste of London yesterday which was good, unfortunately the weather was horrible so we spent the day walking around Regents Park in the rain!
Will try and update a bit more regularly from now on, and keep you all posted on the job front.
Miss you all. xo

Scotland
I spent last week in Scotland, I got the train to Edinburgh and met up with Dave, Vince and Geoff. My contract with Bain finished up the week before so it was a nicely timed break from work and getting out of London for a change.
Scotland was awesome but with minimal darkness hours at night took a bit to get used to - With the sun going down around 10.30-11.00pm and coming up again at 4.00am, you can get heaps done with so many daylight hours but for people like me who enjoy their sleep it stuffs you up a bit!
Saturday night we spent in Glasgow with Dave's cousin Fiona and her boyfriend Keith, checked out the Glasgow nightlife, it was strange going into a bar at 10.30pm and it was still light outside and coming out again around 3.30am and the sun is coming up!
The boys had hired a rental car for their time in Scotland so it was a good way to travel around, they had already been in Scotland for a week before I arrived so they got to see more than I did but while I was there we managed to see St Andrews, St Andrews Castle, checked out the best Fish and Chip shop in Scotland in Anstruther, Edinburgh city, Edinburgh Castle, Dave and I climbed Scott Monument in Edinburgh for a great view of the city, Kirriemuir (birthplace of J M Barrie known as the creator of Peter Pan) and stayed for the majority of the week in For Far with Dave's Aunt and Uncle - Marion and Joe.
We drove back to London, stopping for a night in Liverpool. Big thanks to Dave who did all the driving (while I slept most of the way as I do on most trips!)
Scotland was well worth it and I'd like to get back there soon to see more! (Mark R - unfortunately I didn't get to try a Scotish deep fried Mars bar :( and we didn't quite get round to trying Haggis either - maybe next time ...)
