The better half began supply teaching two weeks ago with the phone running red hot for bookings for days to work while the other half combines his greatest love-coffee-with what seems to be London's greatest attribute-free wifi- by passing the days away in the coffee chain Nero studying and job hunting simultaneously.
Fortunately for the teacher, a week and half of work was rewarded by a week of holidays (the mid term week off that staves off the potential insanity of working a 12-14 week term!). This time has been put to good use though, investigating potential longer term dwellings. We've been scouring the web, making contact with advertisers and viewing places in the vain hope we might find something half decent and at a half decent price. So far, no luck but what a great way to get to know London and its suburbs.
We're able to tick a few more items off the England to do list including a delicious, proper home made Sunday roast, a not so delicious pub made Sunday roast, markets, markets and more markets and most notably for the male half of this couple- a proper football game, watching what seems to be one of the most disliked teams (unless you are a supporter of course which he is) Arsenal playing at their home ground, Emirates stadium. Arsenal won keeping everyone happy and positive but I just loved how Bolton (opposition of the night) supporters were relegated to a far corner of the stadium, fenced off and heavily guarded who then would have had to join the 55 000 plus throng of people exiting the stadium-imagine the heckling! The photo below shows the three sections they were permitted to sit in.
Needless to say, pubs have still been a significant part of our agenda :P
