I must say that secretly i do love London. OK, the people can be frustratingly rude on occasions and all public transport is an absolute hellish nightmare where you feel like rats travelling through sewers...but apart from that it really is a beautiful place to be and one i would recommend visiting.
The reason why i am currently here is because my boyfriend has a job interview at Sega Europe tomorrow and instead of a mad dash tomorrow morning to try and make it we decided that it would be so much easier to have a lazy day sight seeing and then reside here for the night...it was definitely a good choice!
To be honest i was not happy at all this morning though. I do not like this job that he has gone for. OK, it would be a great step into the games industry for him but unfortunately it's mostly night shift work for 4 days a week...he can't afford to live here just yet so he will have to commute and i believe it will just leave him too exhausted to do anything. I've never trusted night work...i really don't think it's good for the body at all. But nevermind, it's up to him so i'm trying to stay silent about it all and positive for him.
Either way i have ended up having a lovely day. I love sight seeing...even if i've done it all before! I've taken some pictures on my iPhone and they're not the greatest (understatement...they're pretty rubbish!) but i'm going to put them up on here anyways. I've had a fun day and what to share my sight seeing with everyone else!

Jenna, I know how you're feeling about the boyfriend's night shift job. It will definitely leave him tired (I know, I went through the same with my bf) but maybe his schedule will leave time for you?? My bf worked the night shift and spent the afternoon with me after I came home from work. And maybe it will be temporary?? He won't be working night shift forever, right? Anyway, try not to stress over it too much.(Easier said than done.) I'm a firm believer that things happen for a reason. Sending good and fabulous vibes your way!!!!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I've never been to London, and plan on visiting one day. It seems like a wonderful place to visit!
Yeah you're totally right, plus he's dead happy about working there...we don't live together anyways, i live 8 hours away from him so it doesn't matter for the moment anyways!
ReplyDeleteYou should definitely go to London!
Thanks very much for the good vibes...they must've worked because i feel much better about everything now!
