London, safe(ish)

[matgb]

Right, got to London last night, met with nhw, sammymorse and others (um, liadnan, were we sat next to each other for quite some time without realising it?) and am now at nadriel's. Flat hunting, job huntig, all to start, um, tomorrow. Tonight, I'm going to enjoy the benefits of London, starting with a bit of pointless bureacracy, registering my intention to join a protest. All organised by Mark Thomas, not maanged to make one before now (Mass Lone protest - Voting TaKtiX - I've decided to protest against discrimination against men with ponytails).

Fun fun. Details and links there, if anyone wants to joing us; registering your intenet to walk through Parliament Square a week in advance? Wonderfully stupid, thanks Tony...

Welcome to the Big Smoke.

I thank you sir. It's nice to be here, shops actually open after 6, museums and galleries to wonder around, quite nice really.

So when you going to come and see me then? Bearing in mind that i only have a bed for you to stay in that isn't an air bed til Feb 18th-ish.

I can give you your books and DVD's back.

Not sure, will depend on house/job hunting commitments, but anytime convenient to you next few weeks.

Basically, need to find a place to live, then start moving stuff up, have to be out of flat in Torquay end of month, so whenever suits; LMK when you're off work is probably best.

Good Luck with House & Job hunting!

[matgb]

I thank you; should be fine as you said but it is a little scary...

have you actually moved to london then? did i miss something?

[matgb]

Moving. Am staying at Mike's to look for a place. Old job finished, am now starting looking for new job. Nothing really missed unless you didn't see the "last day" stuff December/November.

Er, I was there too, and it seems that we both know susumu (as does liadnan) :)

[matgb]

Actually, at that point I didn't know susumu, we'd spoken online, but I've now met him. I also didn't know the person I was sat next to was liadnan until the next day either, because I really was that switched on. Met both via the culturelist, who you seem to know a lot of people from.

The 'and others' bit was really because nhw put the list up in a locked post, and I hadn't really spoken to many about who they were; benefits of very late arrival. When I've settled in, definately want to get to know people up here better, but still looking for a place to live currently.
