Dadaaaaa

As you can probably tell by now, Mondays have become my chill out, get jobs done, fluff round home kinda days. So thats totally what I did on the 4th haha.

Tuesday was Guy Fawkes. The family went out for dinner to a mates place to watch some fireworks from round London, so I was at home alone, hearing bangs but seeing nothing. A mate who lives round the corner finally got off babysitting at 9ish, so we went exploring then for some, but when we got to the hill we wanted to watch from, the cops had closed it down...lame! We ended up just having a very long walk home, but a good chat so that was nice.

We agreed to meet at the Zoo on Wednesday, cos she nannys for a 18month old, so it was something fun to do. Awkward though that her host father came along so we had to pretend like we had just met or something, but we still ended up having a fun time, even if it was bucketing down by the time we left the zoo.

I got a call that arvo too, from another agency offering me some temp hospo work, so I had to nip down the road to Primark to get me a black shirt to wear. And on the way back, I found Abbey Road. And then I found this. (I didn't realise it was so close to where we are/quite a far walk at the same time. Wasn't quite prepared for that one)

Abbey Road Studios.

So Thursday, I had to traipse out to this hospo place to meet the guy and chat over the work. Turns out he gets people for places like Twickenham, the O2 Arena, Lords....all the fun places! Sweet! I am in! I was pretty stoked with that. He seems like a really cool guy too, and will try his best to get you into work when you really need to. Thats gotta be helpful!

On Friday, I had a bit of a chat with Emma about how things are going. I'm having a great time in London, but I'm finding that I'm getting pretty bored and lonely during the day when Jake is at school. We chatted about it for a while, just coming up with some ideas as to what I can do and how to deal with it. That was good, and it kinda got a whole lotta stuff out in the open as well, which is always a good thing! Its nice to know I can talk to her about stuff.

The rest of the day was pretty standard, went to the gym, did nothing special in the afternoon. I was going on a big day the next day, so I cooked a packed lunch to take with me and then just chilled till Jake came home.

I had to babysit that night, and so Jake and I went out to Pizza Express for dinner, that was something fun for us to do together. He had a great time! When we got back home, he wanted to play cards, so he got into his snuggly PJs and we played Uno in bed haha. It was ace!
