one week
it's almost week since I moved to London and the experience so far has been pretty good. It was a crazy first few days with the Notting Hill Carnival taking place outside my window and heading off to Reading Festival to watch Radiohead perform. But things have settled down since. J came over to help me unpack on Tuesday and stayed for dinner while we caught up. She'd moved to London last year from Leamington Spa and it was good to listen to her experiences and comparisons of both places. Today, I'm off to The Berkeley for Pret-a-Portea where if I can't afford to buy an Alexander McQueen dress, I can damn well eat a biscuit made to look like it. :)
My friends in Leam have been fabulous with a couple of them coming up this weekend, next weekend and the weekend after! After which, I have to head back to Leam for the last weekend of the month to celebrate a birthday. I'm still not quite sure if London is the place to be for me, especially when I find out more about my fellowship and work commitments in the next couple of weeks but I think as LW pointed the other day- if anything a PhD prepares you for a life of uncertainty!
so now I'll just adopt a wait and see/ hope for the best attitude!
