From Ginger Spice to Posh Spice!

Well it seems that the cauchemardesque flathunting may be over! As long as nothing goes horribly wrong tomorow when we go to sign the lease, weve decided to take a foxy place in West Kensington (West Ken!) which is a two bed, very modern flat in a converted Victorian mansion yolk. Its just beside some Queen´s something tennis club which is supposed to be famous. So its well situated and about 5 mins away from West Ken tube, and 5 mins from Barons Court tube which is on the Picadilli line and brings me straight to Holborn (LSE tube stop). So that's all very exciting! As soon as we move in and i figure out how to compress my digital pics, then ill add some fotos of our new gaff. Apart from that, bloody annoyed that we got beaten by France on Wednesday, when they quiet frankly didnt deserve to win! I went to see it in a little local with Yan and some of his french friends, who were really nice. I arrived early and stepped into this weird old skool irish expat bar, where everyone was over 50 and called Tommy or Jimmy. They even had Tayto crisps! Have to say i felt quite home sick that night (of course the fact that i keep listening to Christy Moore's "Missing You" isnt helping matters..) but im slowly getting accustomed to the ridiculously large throngs of people, the two showers a day cause you just feel so darn dirty all the time!!, and the fact that money LITERALLY vanishes from your wallet without so much as leaving a note! Im now well into series 4 of Sex and the City, which has pretty much been my surrogate family in the evenings/my entertainement since theres no telly in apartment im in at the mo. Anyway, i gotsta go get me some foodage before i collopse!
Its so cool that you guys have been leaving me comments! Its nice to feel like im still in contact.

West Kensington sounds rather more in keeping with your D4 track record. Pity Diana isn't around any more.

Look forward to hearing the bad news about la douloureuse.

ps for pics, you should be ok if you use broadband in an internet cafe - just have setting at lowest resolution when you are taking the pics
