A White Christmas?
Sunday, December 25, 2005
Well, to tell you the truth it’s not very cold in London yet, although they say that there is a cold snap about to happen any day soon, but for now it’s still very pleasant - in the sun at least.
Since the last update we have been very busy doing as much as possible, we have been to Swan Lake in the Royal Albert hall, to a theatre performance of Blood Brothers – was fantastic, went to the lion king, been to live comedy shows, went to see a concert of The Prodigy and seen the inside of a hell of a lot of pubs - I tell ya London keeps ya busy.
We are currently on the plane heading to Ireland where it is a mild 3 degrees. It took us bloody ages to get out of Heathrow, we had to get up at 5.30am to make our 9.00am flight and to be honest there wasn’t any time to chill out other than the one and a half hour tube ride to the airport. As soon as we arrived it was straight into the queue and that’s pretty much were we stayed until ten minutes ago when we took off.
We have decided that we are going to go to Scotland for the New Year party so our Christmas ‘time off’ is going to be full on. We are in Ireland for four days, London for three and then Scotland for the night, then its back to work on the 3rd. On that note Sarah and I have now both managed to settle into fairly good jobs, but are finding it a bit difficult as our jobs keep getting in the way of our social life. Luckily our bosses are quite accommodating, and getting time off is rather easy. Although I never wish the joy of getting a National Insurance number on anyone, all the stories that you here about the British Government are true. They make WINZ look stream lined and efficient.
We have also booked a trip to Brighton on January 14th, Berlin at the begining of February and are planning to go to Stonehenge mid February but have yet to book that one – we have to see how rich we feel after Christmas.
Right were about to land in a bit so I have to turn off my laptop, So Merry Christmas and happy new year to you all and make sure you check out our site for photos of Ireland and Hogmanay (the Scotland New Year party).
