just a little update

just realised it has been a while, so here is some news...

on Sunday it was start of BST (British Summer Time) so yay and another yay, it isw 7:25 pm and still light, i know, it is crazy!!! I am still lazy and eating a whole heap too much. all my housemates seem to be losing weight, but i have found it all in my room and on my body... hehe, nah, it isn't that bad yet, but it will be if i don't start exercising more and eating less. but that is the english life, and i am having a good time.

what else, well, 1 week and 1 day left of school. I am loving my kids and will really miss them, but at the same time i am really looking forward to doing no marking and assessing (and no schoolwork on the weekends).

my parents come to london this weekend, and i am very very very excited. can't wait to see them. and hopefully they will spoil me rotten cos they miss me, nah seriously, will be good to travel with them. (and get lots of birthday presents from them too... hehe, well hopefully)

the other weekend i was meant to go to Leeds to see a friend matt, but i stupidly missed my bus on the friday night (love the tubes being delayed) and so stayed at home, but that meant i got to spend sunday wishing a very happy birthday to tami, so worked out ok!! will get to leeds another time.

don't think i have really done much else because full time teaching in a autistic class with lots of planning means davina becomes a bit boring, so the photos are london by night from the eye, me and tami at the peak district national park sign (and if you look hard you can see snow), joyeux anniversaire tami (me and her about to go out for brunch at cafe rouge) and me and katie and stpeh from the london eye (written about last posting)

so, some happy snaps of me... hope that you are all doing really well. i am having a great time over here mostly, except for those days you don't have such a good day... if you know what i mean...

love you all
hugz a million

LONDON EYE

whooooooo, so, anyways. Steph (a friend from gangshow living in London) and Katie (another friend from gangshow visiting london) myself and a few of stephs workmates went out for a night on the London Eye last night. It wasn't too bad. Steph works for a borough council over here and got a great deal for the night. we had a night trip on the London eye with complimentary wine, a cruise with the mayor of lambeth and mayors of other boroughs and had a 2 course meal with nibbles and yet more wine. the food was fantastic, the Thames was beautiful (even though it was hard to see as it was dark), i even got to play the trumpet of one of the band members (they had live music). I am so glad that i went. nmot every night you get to hang out with mayors and poobah around. fun fun.

and was great to see steph and kate again, as well as london by night. it is pretty cool looking out from above over the city lights and westminster, houses of parliament, big ben, st pauls, nelsons column, oxo building and whatever else we could see.

only problem was it was a thursday night, so we all had to go to work the next day.

just felt like sharing that little adventure with you all.
tami and i are off to sheffield on the weekend to meet up with a friend anna. should hopefully be a good weekend (i think it might even be snowing there, yay)

love ya, a great big hug from here
