perspective

We had a recent "snowfall" in the UK, with eastern Britain getting the worst of the storm. A whole 2 centimeters of snow fell in London. Brilliant. And while the weather forecasters were all warning of the dangerous road conditions, I couldn't help thinking, This is soooo much better than Boston!

Point being, it's all about perspective...how things appear from different people's point-of-view...I'm finding that my perspective on many things has changed in just the few short weeks that I've been here in England. For one, I'm actually imagining myself making this place my home. Of course, I'm still always dreaming of Paris. ; Secondly, I'm discovering that I haven't quite mastered the English language as I thought I had. The Queen's English is all together different. But I'm adapting... Thirdly, Britons are far friendly than they give themselves credit for being. Obviously, they haven't met Bostonians. Hmmm...what else?...oh, before moving here, I thought I'd never meet another attractive and intelligent guy over 5'10". Happily, there are quite a few "fit" gentlemen strolling through London, all of them well-dressed and tall. Granted, I only watch from a far, but at least there's plenty of eye candy to enjoy.

Yep, I definitely fancy life in London.

At last!

I'm here. I'm settled (sort of). I'm broke.

It's been such a rollercoaster, but I finally made it to London. Worked for two weeks and am now "on holiday" for Christmas.

There's so much to say about this place. But to be brief, I LOVE IT! If it just weren't so darn expensive.

Ah, I would write more, but I'm typing this from an internet cafe...and I have only 7 minutes 37 seconds left on this login...

As soon as I'm wired (or rather wireless-ed) at home, I'll do a proper post with all my usual random musings about life. And there are so many things to comment on here...I know you just can't wait, can ya?

More news to come soon...until then, "cheers!"
