June Update

So Paul was going to update the blog a couple of weeks ago but he must have for some reason decided not too, or he possibly forgot!

On Thursday we went to the musical 'Wicked'. Based on Gregory Maguire’s novel it tells the untold story of the Witches of Oz,and why one came to be called ‘good’ and the other ‘wicked’. It has won over 20 major international theatre awards so as you can guess it was really good.

Today we went to Hyde Park for the Red Bull Flugtag day. This is where people invent things with the idea that they will glide further than other teams when jumping off a bridge into water and it has to hold a team member. As well as that they are judged on a short performance before jumping into the water. There was the giant swan that did a giant nose dive and then sunk, a plane made of balloons and a yellow submarine. We had a good day sitting amongst the 80,000 other people. We have a video of the day but I will have to pester Paul a bit until he puts the video software onto the computer.

Over the May bank holiday we went to the Gatecrasher summer sound system which is a music festival we saw The Prodigy, Paul Okenfold and lots of other DJs. It really felt much more like a winter festival than a summer one with the amount of wind, rain and mud that was there. Was great to get out of London for a weekend. Sorry bout some of the pics, turns out that copying photos from facebook doesn't give the best result......ill try to get Paul to replace them with the originals off his laptop!

London Update

So I have finally gotten around to charging the cameras and putting the photos onto the computer. We really haven't been up to much, just attempting to get sorted and more settled. In saying that we have seen a few pubs which is always good. I (Kelly) have found a job and start on Tuesday. Paul has been working for the last couple of weeks. We were supposed to have moved into our new flat on Thursday however that has not worked out so well. Hopefully we will be able to move in on Monday!
Some church. There are churches everywhere over here and they are all massive, the buildings are amazing.

At the pub in Hammersmith

Proof that it has snowed! This is the back garden of Edwards house. And I was expecting it to be getting warmer!
Paul at the Candam markets.
Me and Kate at the pub...same night as the photo in the pub above.This is my new work. OooOOoooo fancy building!

So Far in London

So far we have just been spending the last week attempting to get things sorted. We have found a house which we will share with Tim and Kelly. It is a cute 2 bedroom flat. Located in Shepards Bush above some shops and 2 min walk to the tube station, very handy to everything.

We went to the Oxford boat race over the weekend along with 1/2 of London. It would have been good but it was cold and rainy (which is why they are wearing rubbish sacks).

In Paddington.
