Quick update

Well, as mentioned in previous posts, I am now back in England. There is something truly wonderful about returning to a country that speaks your lingo, as opposed to high pitched, high speed hand waving.

For the time being we're staying in a place called (and I'm not lying here) "Barmy Badger's Backpackers." Some people swear by hostel living but I can't see the appeal. My plan is to find a job, and move into a share house somewhere in London. Regarding job hunting - I've decided to try and hold out for an office job of some description for a week or so, and if nothing comes up, I'll just jump into retail or sales and eat the proverbial shit sandwich until something does come up.

Despite this somewhat melancholy beginning I am enjoying myself here - London is a remarkable place. So much to see, so little time. Ideally I'd like to try and keep my hand in at all my old pursuits in Australia, so that means finding an indoor cricket team, a band that has a tuba and needs a player, a decent library and so on and so forth.

However, all that has to wait until I find a job. I've been firing off job apps like a madman online, this afternoon I thought I might head to an employment agency in the city, and finish off by visiting the Churchill Museum.

I've also got photos from Italy, which I'll post this afternoon when I bring the laptop down.

Must dash, later all.
