Were heeeree!

Flight to london wasnt too bad at all - lots of teeev to watch - including Rick Steins France where he cause the ferry and raved about a great blue steak and how he know he could count on the french to cook it right! - SOUND LIKE ANYONE FAMOOOOLYA??

Singapore was mearly a loo (lav) stop; however we changed from jeans to trackies for comfort value (however not so comfortable for Rez when she punched herself in the face whilst trying to remove the jeans over the Doc Martens in a hurry - resulting in a fat lip)

Abu Dhabi was a beautiful airport, even at about 5am. All mosaiced - however the smoking somewhat ruined the ambience.

All in all the flight was quite bearable.

This morning we were in def need of a shower! he he

It is unseasonally mild - I think someone likes us! We arrived just before midday on Thursday but by the time we got to our accommo (shoe box inn) it was dark (3pm) however we ventured out to get our sim cards. Towsty (ex DECS friend) suprised us by showing up at 1st Contact! That was excellent! He was so excited to see us too. By that time we went to a pub and had a pint and some curry and a long chat. We walked back to our room via Sainsburys about 10:30 -11ish and they were throwing out chicken salad and egg salad sangers for 10p - so we have decided we will probably live on sandwiches for late dinners! When we got back to the room we absolutely zonked it!

Anyways, today we have about 10 degrees and sun!??? We caught the tube to Oxford St to go to the bank on Regent st and have tallied up a good 20 miles :)

We have just walked through Pic Circus, SoHo and back to Oxford St, had lunch (I had FISH salad drink AND CHIPS - which was ok for £3.50 $& Rez had a doner kebaby thing (NOT a yeeeros) and we are now on the internet looking up jobs, accommodation and writing this email! I am awaiting a call from an agent to look at a property tonight in Ealing - zone 3 west side. We thought we would have a bit of a look seeing both Nat and Andrew live in Ealing - what a coincidence - however apparently the west side is the best.
