at long last
tonight i sit on our brand new bed filling out the last bits of my visa form. toby and i have waited a long time for both of these moments. this visa is the last bit i'll need to stay here in england with toby for as long as i want. we shouldn't have any more i'm an american in england type problems...all i will have to do is flash my visa. i better not lose the dang thing. after a year i will be allowed to apply for a british passport. not convinced i want to give more money to the british government yet though.
in other sweet news, our bed has arrived. to toby's calcuations, we've slept on a mattress on the floor for 140 nights. we finally had our bed delivered this sunday and boy were we happy to see it.
we purchased it from www.eatsleeplive.co.uk
all handmade from reclaimed wood. it's a beautiful bed, you just have to be patient about the delivery....
i know we'll be sleeping soundly tonight.

the holiday dust has settled...
it has been the longest 3 day week and i'm very tired. so what do i do, first thing, when i arrive home after a miserable, wet walk from the train? i grab a glass of wine, some breadsticks and turn on the computer. like i haven't been staring at a computer all day at work...
but you see, i have to hurry to play with the internet before toby because he's often on it looking at bike forums and the such. we really should get two airport cards so we can be on the internet at the same time.
anyway. we took our brand new shoes out for a walk last saturday to buy some cheese at borough market. as expected, it wasn't that crowded due to the cold weather and the holiday timing. we got three fancy dancy cheeses. i say fancy dancy because they were quite expensive. we got a extremely strong, smelly brie, a capherphilly (very locally made), and some french cheese called beafort (i think). still have them, so we'll get another saturday snack.
we also purchased a lunch/breakfast wild boar sausage sandwich. yum. yum
after that we trotted over to whole food in kensington and ate our way through the store.
no. really. we didnt' buy a single thing. we were actually pleasantly full when we left, after our free samples of pantettone, bread, cherries, pineapple (wow), melon, cheese, guacumole, tortilla chips and i think there may have been some chocolate too. seriously lovely. we've bought stuff in the past, so we felt it was OK to stock up on the samples that day. very highly recommended.
but now, after all of that lovliness of the time off of work, we are back. having to take down the christmas tree and trimmings and pretend that we like january.
boo.
