Hey all, this is just a quick post - I have got 4mins credit left on my internet cafe computer.
Yay - finally found a really nice place that we are both happy with and the neighborhood is quiet and residential. We checked out a few and relised that there is alot of variety for the price range that we were in. We ended up getting a house that is about 15 minutes walk from the underground and its on the Picidilly line, which will be easy for all you that are planning to visit. Its a new house, with everything new so that was pretty good - no lawn though but a very cool balcony.
I am still loving the tube here - on Fridays they have buskers at one of the stations to provide the commuters with some music - today there was a guy there playing the harp - this week end is going to be a quiet one - its been a BIG week.
Hope you all have a good Sabbath
Love Natty

Buses
Hi every body... here is an update on whats been happening...
Yesterday we pretty much rode the buses all day - having missed the church service - we misread the website and thought it started at 12:00 - alas it started at 10:30. So we thought why not ride the buses...in doing so we did stumble across the biggest IKEA known to man - it was mammoth and we now know where to shop when we need some assemble yourself furniture... yay.
So last night into the West End we went -- (very sofisticated I know), and saw the Lion King... it was amazing... we were sitting near the front and had a really good view. The costumes were so well thought out, colourful and the way the perfomers melded with the costumes was art in it self. Needless to say I am now very excited about live theatre and I am looking forward to going to see Wicked some time this week.
Here is where I will add that we nearly missed the show, yes, nearly missed the show -due to our lateness... lets just say next time we go we will take our guide book.
Today we went and checked out where we will be teaching for the next few months, and also figure out how long it takes on the tube as we have moved from Euston out to Acton. The change means we are paying less per night and we are in the company of a lovely old sevie lady who is a real character. So after spending an hour on the tube, we searched out our school - lets just say it looks a little like Mount Druitt on a good day... and those who are not familiar with Mount Druitt it looks little like a prison... but we are not letting this colour our perception of the place! I am sure that it will look alot different when there a students wondering around!! Needless to say we are both aniticpating a fun filled day with lots of excitiment.
Still no news on the house front - considering building a shack on the bank of the river Thames!
Loving you and leaving you
