Training, Time Off, and Too Much Laundry!

I don't have too much to report on. I'm still training, but I've also been thrown into the regular rotation which means I'm busy, busy. BUSY! I can't say the work is any too much fun, but it's better than I expected. I guess we'll see how I feel 5 months from now ;)!

I was off on Friday & Saturday which was great! Friday I went to Hampstead Heath with my "mate" (as she would say) Christa who is from New Zealand. The Heath is only a few minutes walk from where I live and it's a great place to go when I need to clear my head. We managed to find an amazing playground which we will probably visit again :) After that we cruised down to Oxford Street for some window shopping. Saturday I planned to head to the south side of London, but the northern line on the tube was closed which left me few options. I haven't really figured out the bus yet and I decided I'd rather save that for a day when I know I can get home on the tube if I need to. Instead of getting myself stuck on the south side of London I walked to Camden (30-ish minute walk). Camden has a huge market that is 10x better on the weekends. I had a nice day people watching and I got my sister a lovely birthday present.

This past weekend we had International Adventure Days here at Pax Lodge. Most of the kids were Brownies & Juniors from USA Girl Scouts Overseas (stationed at Lakenheath I believe). It was cool to spend the day playing games with them. What a perfect excuse to procrastinate laundry!

Now for some pictures!

Up my street (Rosslyn Hill):



Our beautiful next door neighbors, AIR Studios! Google it if you want. Coldplay, U2, The Black Eyed Peas, Paul McCartney, & Joni Mitchell to name a few have all recorded there. Cool? Yes!

Camden Market - It doesn't look very crowded, but I promise it was packed in the main markets!






Last but not least - One of my many lovely piles of laundry in need of washing & pressing:
