hello from london [part four]

hello friends

first, i really miss you. it feels so strange that everyone i know and care about is on the other side of the world. i miss having a drink down at the cricks, games nights with the girls, lounging about with d at home, dumplings and noodles in chinatown, working with only the best shop girls ever. right now feels so foreign. i know it will pass. i think i feel strange because second, i found a place! it is a huge room in a very homely house right next to london fields [major park with lots of eye candy bicyclists] and broadway markets [a foodie market on saturdays]. the room is big enough for a bed, a little salon area, and a studio space, and it is within budget [mostly]! my landlady owns a toy shop, i am going to ask her if she will sell my big felt owls with the bells inside. i know, i have to stop being precious about them. i have been staying with my friend jon and his two very funny and lovely housemates. i have felt like one of the gang since i got here but now oh! all out on my own! the good thing is i am just moving around the corner and am a ten minute bus ride from my two other sydney friends. quit complaining, too easy! third, umm i think that is about it. just lots of little things like the uk has the trashiest tv shows ever. i got a real education last night watching "super botox me". google it, it was sort of sick. my sleep routine is as follows, sleep at 9pm, wake at 6am. i can live on less than 10 pounds a day [excluding rent]. so proud of myself! oh and london water is recycled. apparently it has been through twenty bodies before it gets to you. i like the idea of recycled water but one can definitely taste the difference. hmm tasty!

any juicy sydney goss? tell me!

lots of love
