My Blue Heaven

One Step Back

Bad news. I lost my flat. Or rather, the room in the flat. The guy called me during work last Fri to arrange a time to meet to do contract stuff (but I have no mobile reception at work whatsoever, so he left a msg on voicemail). I was busy and out of london on the weekend, so I didn’t get back to him till Sunday night. And then he msgs me back and I find out on Monday that he’d given the room to someone else (who came to see it over the weekend and signed the contract on the spot).

Not. Happy. Jan.

I was pretty shocked/suprised. Didn’t realise it could happen like that. And that he could do that.. thought it was set that I would take it.. though I hadn’t given deposit yet. Was a bit upset at first.. but I’m ok now. *sigh* Anyway… guess I’m back to square one. It’s not so bad… I’ve seen some positives… I can save on rent for a bit longer for one. 😉 And it also gives me the chance to look around a bit more. I really didn’t do much research or looking around before deciding on that flat.. so perhaps its a good thing I didn’t get it. I can probably find something better – like a bigger room.. newer furnishings. There are so many different places to live too. So many suburbs in london I haven’t been to yet.

Weekend

So anyways. The weather today is absolutely beautiful. Very much summery weather… hot and sunny. Am wearing my havaianas and new H&M shirt dress. 🙂 I had a pretty good weekend in Canterbury. Visited the Canterbury Cathedral.. built by King Henry VIII (wat was his role in the reformation again? I can’t remember). It was beautiful and kinda freaky at the same time. They had a service on at the time, with a choral choir singing.. they sounded so perfect I thought it was a recording. It was kinda eerie.. gothic sounding, and added to the scariness of the place. I remember walking into the cathedral main hall (which kinda reminded me of the huuuge dwarven hall in the mines of Moria in LOTR FOTR.. you know with the huge columns and ceiling) to the sound of their choral voices rising up, filling the place with that gothic feel. Took some pics. But what’s with the gargoyles and scary statues and bones/skulls? *shudder* Anyway.. photos will err…. go in the queue behind all the other photos I still have yet to upload. My bad. I’ve been too lazy/busy.

Anyway, really need to do more exercise. I ate sooo much over the weekend. In the words of Cher from Clueless… I feel like such a heffer! And haven’t been to dance class for a while too, so am really missing that. Think I’ll go to Fusion Funk tonite. Yay!

New Toy

Oh and I have a new toy too. Well.. sorta… I have an Orange SPV M2000 pda/phone… for the next 6 months. I’m kinda looking after it for someone whilst they are overseas. And I can use it. 750 free mins a month.. plus the full PDA functionality. Yay! It’s got wireless capabilities, phone/video, mp3 player, microsoft office etc etc. I’ve been keeping myself amused trying to connect to random wireless networks about London. Hehe. So far I’ve managed to tap into next doors unsecure wlan. And briefly connected to some network in the square outside my work at lunch. I could sign up to TMobile and get connected at any Starbucks hotspots. But thats like £5/hour. Ouchies.
