Time keeps on slipplin, slippin...

Whoa, it's been nearly a month since our last post? Sorry about that folks, we hate do disappoint our faithful readers (all three of you.)

A lot has been happening. I'm driving now, and at this point, I'm pretty comfortable with it all. Car parks still confuse me for some reason, but I think I've done ok. Here's our new (to us) car, named Jeff, at my brother's request.

I don't know what happened to the bottom of this picture. I blame Anna's phone.

Our Honda Jazz has taken us on many adventures now, we've driven to Box Hill, Penshurst Place, Bromley, and Esher... all without killing ourselves or anyone else on the road!

Speaking of Box Hill, here's some pictures from our hike. The views were pretty fantastic.

 

 



Penshurst place was also amazing, though we didn't really take any pictures. We met up with the Longhursts though for an excellent picnic after touring the grounds and garden, so if they send some pictures our way we'll be sure to post them.

 

Lets see, what else have we missed... we went to see a ridiculously amazing play called The Drowned Man near Paddington Station in London a couple weeks ago. It wasn't a play in the traditional sense though. The production is spread out over a number of floors of an old postal sorting facility, and you're free to wander and follow particular cast members throughout the performance. Audience members wear a mast to distinguish audience from cast, though it has the added benefit of making you feel very anonymous. The lighting, sound, and acting were all phenomenal, and I managed to have a one-on-one experience with one of the cast members. This was the result:

 

I got a bit of red on me.

Other than all of that, things continue to go well for us here. I'm really loving my job (despite us having to fire someone for literally drinking whiskey at his desk,) and Anna's job search continues to progress with more and more interesting opportunities (I'll let her touch on that.) We've continued to discover local pubs, the most recent being The Cricketers, where we met up with one of my coworkers and his girlfriend on Friday night. The night ended with a cab ride home at 2am, and a promise of Bushmills delivered directly from Belfast. All in all, a great night.

 

I suppose that's enough for now... we'll try to be a bit more regular in our updates, promise!
