Well, here goes.....
The first four weeks in London was made up of a hectic schedule of interviews, job hunting and generally looking around and settling in. I stayed with Darren, a good friend of mine for the first two weeks while I got my feet on the ground.... very nice of him. Darren lives near West Ham tube (see the tube map here... http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/pdfdocs/colourmap.pdf)
I have ended up moving into a house with some very nice people at East Ham which is not too far away, still on the east side, on the boundary of zone 3& 4. When I moved in there was a 24 year old British guy, (Chris) living here with Sam the guy that owns the house. I ended up chosing a job as a Technical Product Manager. In the following week, another aussie guy (Daniel, 24) moved in and then Laura, 22 from Melbourne has also moved in. And we have been getting along like a house on fire! Litterally.
We were all fairly quiet until Laura and Daniel moved in, but we all went out one Friday night and since then, we have not stopped having a great time. A couple of weekends ago, there was a really nice Sunday and we had a "few" drinks should I say on the Saturday night. So we decided we would have bacon and eggs for breakfast outside in the sun, then we dragged the TV outside for the F1 Grand Prix, then we thought, why not stay out all day....so we lit a fire to keep us warm through the afternoon/evening...see below:
Chris is on the left, Laura in the middle and Daniel on the right. And the awesome fire we made... I think we burnt everything that was not nailed down in the backyard that day. We ended up staying outside til 9pm. So a good day had by all.
