Chugging Along

The summer is slowly coming to an end here in England. It is rainer and colder than it was when I got here and winter is just around the corner. This weekend is something called the Bank Holiday Weekend. Basically everyone is off for one last weekend of the summer and the bars and restaurants are all packed. But after that things should quiet down a bit. It will be interesting to work in a pub where it is not crazy busy most of the time. I think that it will be a nice change. Hopefully I will be doing a few less hours (though not too many less as I still need money).

I finally have some pictures to put up. There is one of my house and of my room. I finally got a real bed last week, which is nice. Before that I was sleeping on a thin matress that was little better than sleeping on the ground. I guess that means that I am really settling in.

I also found a Stanley Street in Weymouth! And it intersects with Cresent St. The Montreal connections around here are just scary. Actually I was in a book store the other day and I looked at a travel book about Canada. There was a picture of Montreal taken from the observation deck and you could see our apartment building! It made me miss Montreal, but only a little :)

It has been great having Dzido on the bar with me these last few shifts. With our good Aussie friend Nicole on the bar with us, we have a lot of fun.

Next blog post should have some good pictures from Bath and Oxford!
