Yes, that’s right, we call it a flat. Ironically, the building is very old and most of the floors are not actually flat.
We’ve been here a few weeks now and are beginning to feel settled in. I continue to have job interviews, and Andy starts school on Friday. We’ve been anxious to get into a routine. Luckily, we’ve connected with some other students and have had opportunities to be social and enjoy what London has got to offer.
So back to our flat. Every week we add a little bit to it. It is “furnished,” but there are very few items in the kitchen, at least not enough for me to do any kind of serious cooking. It is a one bedroom apartment on the third floor. The living room/kitchen/dining room overlooks a busy street, but the bedroom is in the back and tends to be nice and quiet at night. We’re waiting to get some income before we purchase any decorations, but we have been slowly buying little things to make it more of a home. It has really made me aware of how dependent I am on material items. Tomorrow I’m meeting with a friend to go to the “Pound Stretcher” store to see if I can find a few more kitchen tools I’m looking for.
We were very excited last weekend to have some friends over for a small party. It forced us to clean all the things we were procrastinating on.
We’re excited to have people come visit and stay with us (the invite is open, just let us know if you’d like to come). We have enough room for some air mattresses and we have a short, but very comfortable couch. One catch, the water temperature is very temperamental, so be prepared for baths.

Hey everyone. I feel it important that I explain the top two pictures. THis is what happens when you mix a computer that has cool camera effect, MULTIPLE pints... I mean MULTIPLE, and a group of narcasisticly creative theater folk. I hope you enjoy. I am more than willing to e-mail you the other 358 pictures, just let me know.
