PASSPORT, PLEASE....THANK YOU, WELCOME TO LONDON!

Welcome To London! Please direct yourself to the map above and try and find your way around town...no, not kidding - its doable...eventually. I've actually gotten better at it yet on occasion, I'll find myself lost - but hey, that's London right?

So the first week has come and gone - all in all a stranger in a strange land - but its been moving along at a fine pace - arrived last Sunday morning, went about town, been doing some extremely mild sightseeing, most of the time's been spent finding accomodation other than on Saul's sofa - kudos by the way, to Mr. Z (and his flatmates - yep, I'm learnin' the lingo here...more on that in a bit) for allowing me to grace the surprisingly comfortable pull-out sofa (in fact its probably the most comfortable one I've ever had this misfortune of sleeping upon - though in this case, were it not for this sofa, I'd probably be broke (which I nearly am) or homeless - so, can't complain too much!).

When I'm not making and re-making the sofa-bed its up and down the tube - if you can navigate the map here's how it works for me lately: I'm presently in Putney Bridge (SW or bottom LH-side of the map off the green line - District Line. I travel to work towards the East or RH-side of the map, off the red line - the Central Line - to Stratford station. In between, I've been house/flat-share hunting - and have found something for now - in Finchley Central - on the Black or Northern line (towards the top in the North of London - the RH-side of the two Upper lines...follow???) - all in all makes for a long commute.

I have managed to see Big Ben, St. Paul's Cathedral, the beautiful ladies of London and of course a few pubs here n' there...there's plenty more to come for certain but alas the task of sorting out my life remains priority number one.

As for work...well...that's going to be a bigger, badder, blog of its own!!!

Cheers Mate,
