Well, it’s been about 3 months and I finally have internet at my new house (!). It’s been an absolute mission trying to get hold of BT to get the phone line. I would suggest anyone avoid BT if at all possible. They are a nightmare to deal with. After about a month that was sorted, and then there arose several issues with our landlord not paying his mortgage, and the house being repossessed and then it not being repossessed anymore and it all being a horrible mistake. Again, a nightmare. But it’s all gravy now and everything is as it was when we moved in. Except that the fridge freezer doesn’t work, the Boiler is stuck at maximum and actually boils our water….on the upside, we have Sky for TV and internet. Who happen to be much easier to deal with than BT could ever hope to be.

In other news, Me and Charlotte have survived each other for 11 months now and had ourselves a little summer holiday last week in London. We seemed to get the only good week of weather this year, so we we’re happy. I took lots (read: over 300) photos with my shiny new Digital Camera – A FujiFilm Finepix S5700, more on that in another post. All those photos are in the Gallery under Holidays.

Over the two days we were there we attempted to “do London properly” and see the sights etc. We sort of got there. We:

• Saw Les Miserables
• Did The Eye and River Cruise
• Went to the IMAX Cinemas in the Science Museum
• Went to The Aquarium
• Went shopping!
• Walked a lot

Umm…think that’s about it. Either way we did a lot and were knackered by the time we got back to York.

So yeah, that’s pretty much been my last 3 months. Full time work, interrupted but annoyances like BT, and House problems and nicer things like Sky and Holidays.
