nearly able to unpack my bags

thats right ladies and gentlemen-- come thursday I will be able to unpack my suitcase for the first time since September, yipee! Sad to leave Aleem and Clara, who I'm living with at the moment in Eddie's room up in Belsize Park but will invite them round for dinner when I'm moved in to my new place.

So yeah I'm now staffed on a proper project, working proper (i.e. long) hours and all that good stuff. Was travelling out to the client in Surrey a lot in the first couple weeks but have been able to work from the office this week which is nice (and saves the 3 1/2 hour commute to haslemere!)

Saw Yelena this morning (afternoon) for coffee which was really nice, haven't been able to hear how she's doing for... a while! I am jealous though that shes going to the killers concert tonight!! Coincidentally I'm going to the same venue (Wembley) on Wednesday night to see Keane so at least that softens the blow slightly.

Last night saw the boys (Nic, Joe, Markus) and Caro, Eric, and Lizzie (2 of Caro's friends) which was nice and ended in a lot of rain and mad scatter for various means of getting home (I stumbled onto a nightbus which left me at King's Cross before very luckily finding a taxi). Friday night was the standard (highly entertaining) fare: King's Arms followed by the SE Asian restaurant across the road (Straits).

And a while ago we went to Venice which was loads of fun, check out photos on picasaweb. Going to Austria in a couple weeks for the ski weekend which also promises to be a lot of fun. Need to find a wallet that fits english money (am having to fold everything and its all very cumbresome!) not to mention one which isn't falling apart at the seams.

Anyway, will try to post again sooner than last time
