Well, we have been recently blessed with some sunny days! I think spring is in the air. Joe and I both agree that we are much more motivated on the weekends to get out and do things. We still have not found another flat to let, but are looking. It would just be nice if we could take our current flat and just move it to another location.
Since the weather was beautiful yesterday, I took a trip down to Portobello Road and explored the famous Portobello Market. As you walk down the street, you are just surrounded by antiques, fresh foods, and groovy booths of clothes, jewelry, and music. There were venders making fresh Spanish pallea and rows and rows of fresh olives, breads, feta (three of the foods on my top 10 list). It was a good thing that I only brought £20 with me!

On Friday, we workout with my friend Joanna and her husband, Precash and then ate excellent Thai food. For those of you that live in Austin, Joe has been terribly missing Madam Mam’s Restaurant, so this was perfect for him. For Christmas Joe got me a Thai cooking course lesson. I have it next Saturday and am really excited. People keep asking Joe if it was really a gift for me or did he have himself in mind as well.
Last night we met up with some Aussie friends and went down near London Bridge. We went on a Jack the Ripper tour on the eastside of London and then ate on Brick Lane. This whole street is known as Bangla Town and is covered with Bangladesh restaurants. As you walk down the street people come up to you and try to lure you into their establishment with food/drink bargains. Our friends said that we didn’t experience the true haggling experience, but it was great fun anyways.
Living down below us our two of the cutest little girls you’ll ever meet
, Alighta and Jonsu. Joe and I go downstairs to visit them about twice a week. We celebrated Jonsu’s birthday today and here are a few shots of the little darlings.Work for both Joe and I has been going alright. I think we both have the mindset that travelling is our main priority. We are headed to Madeira, Portugal on Feb. 20th, and then plan to go to Pembrokeshire Coast National Park in Wales with a group.
