Update :)

Hi guys,

Sorry for the lack of blogging but we haven't really been doing anything too exciting. Sam and i have spent the last few weeks starting work and generally getting into the swing of reality here so we can make some more money and continue our adventures.

Sam has been doing a maintenance electrical job that his agency got him which he is finding quite easy and a bit boring at times. But i think he will stick it out for the next few weeks until this job is over and then try for a construction job which is more like what he was doing at home. He is working on buildings right in central london so is learning alot about the city.

I have been doing day-to-day agency nursing shifts which have been going well. I have been to 2 different hospitals so far and people have been pretty friendly. It just takes a bit of getting used to new equipment, paperwork and drugs for each ICU. But it's all part of agency work and people seem to be quite understanding. I am joining a couple of other agencies as well so i can have a bigger option of shifts.

We had lunch last Sunday with sam's cousin Claire and her husband Marc who works for the London Symphony Orchestra. They took us to a concert at the Barbican (concert hall) which was a great experience. I had never been to an orchestral concert like that so it was nice of them to take us.

A couple of weeks ago we had our friends Rowy and Christian (who we stayed with in edinburgh) visit us for a night. They came down to London for the weekend to see some of Christian's friends as well. We went to the British Museum with them which was cool. It's an amazing building and you could spend all day looking around there (but we only spent an hour or 2!). The Friday before Row & Christian came was Australia Day so we went to an Aussie pub of course called the Hemisphere Bar. It was just Sam and i but the place was soooo packed and the atmosphere was great. Definately worth celebrating. We had a fun night and got free T-shirts which are a bit of a souvineer now because they say 'Australia Day, London 2007'. Not bad 'eh!?

Last week we went and saw Wolfmother play here in concert. They're an Aussie band who were touring here in London. It was a good night but we only knew their main songs. Sam is a bigger fan than me!

hmmm, what else? Last Thursday London had an amazing snow fall. The biggest in 7 yrs or something! So here are some pics. Unfortunately sam had to work this time so i took some photos.

This is our street.....

And the back yard where i made a snow man.....

You might remember one of the 1st bloggs we did has pictures of the forrest down the road in Autumn time, well here it is in winter....... it was beautiful.

We are very excited to have mum come and stay with us for a couple of weeks at the start of March so we'll be out and about alot more then and we'll have some more interesting things to blogg about.....lots of love from Anita & Sam xoxox
