Bangers and mash for lunch

With leeks, and Eton Mash to follow! (NZ twist – manuka honey and kiwifruit, yum!)

My life is governed by food at the moment. Had a really good South Indian curry last night though! Better than some of the ones in Delhi suprisingly.

I’ve also caught up on last month’s wine and chocolate allowance, thanks Jenny!

This is the view I woke up to yesterday morning.

And the view of the graveyard – you would never know you were in London!

 

See the car pulling out with frost on the roof after a night in a garage? IT IS THAT COLD. Apparently it got down to –15 in some parts of the country, Wales has a foot of snow and Jenny and I had to have some whiskey last night to get the chill out of the air.

There is a tube strike tonight for 24 hours so I’m busing into Oxford Street tomorrow to finish opening my bank account and get some jobs like a railcard done. Finishing my CV in the meantime and applying for temporary nannying jobs for December/January period while I look for some longer term work. Things seem a bit dire on that front to be honest – the strikes on the tube are against 600 people being laid off, and it seems that left right and centre people are being made unemployed. But I am optimistic and think that with the right attitude and a can-do approach I’ll find something. I’m not too picky!
