Internet at home

I finally have internet at home. Ahh... so nice. I really have nothing much new to say. My life is fairly boring since I got a job and flat. I still like my job, it's a bit hectic now and again but in a good way. Alastair spent this weekend painting his room, it's now all white with the frame around his bay window painted red. It's a cool eye-catching effect. Soon he'll be putting up prints and other things on his walls to help spice up the room. It's funny how quickly things can become habit. Alastair and I have a nice routine in the morning where whoever is up first, usually him, will put on the tea kettle and make coffee in the french press. We eat breakfast (he has a strange habit of combining several types of cereal in one go, but then again I guess I'm weird too for not using milk) and listen to public radio (which I think may be part of BBC, seems like all media here is somehow connected with them). Then we leave at our respective times and go to work. I have memorized pretty well the street that I walk down to get to the college and have been buying fruit and even a Boston fern from a little kiosk on the corner. Then we return home. Usually I make it here first and get to watch some tv in Alastair's room before he gets in, I have the "early bird" dinner at about 6:30-7pm and Alastair eats eventually around 9pm. He reads every newspaper he can get a hold of, which in London means a lot of newspapers. I read bits from one or more of the several books I've bought here (all for 3 pounds of less) and then time for bed and get ready to start again tomorrow. There you have it, my life in a nutshell. ("Help, I'm in a nutshell. How did I get in this nutshell?" -Austin Powers)

I will be going on a trip with Bunac this weekend to stay in a medieval castle near York. Apparently we'll also be going to Sherwood Forest, where Robin Hood had his 'hood. (Ha ha... terrible joke) I'll be leaving late Friday night and returning Sunday night, so no worries if you don't hear from me for a while. I'll be dressing in 16th century costume and running around the north of England. Wait.... maybe you should worry about me. Well, now that I have my computer up and running I think I'll find some photos to add to the blog.
