what I learned in london in my first week...

Never leave home without...
- the tube map - az street guide aka "the bible"
- a jacket / layers as the weather is schizophrenic..sunny, cold, windy...just like washington /home
- obviously an umbrella
-Tube or Oyster Pass which gets you on buses as well.
-lots of money as it flys out the wallet, very expensive but similar to sydney

I am working on banks accounts, getting set up at a doctor, gym, etc. Embracing this time of transition - the excitement bit is the best. I feel like everything will just fall into place...friends, life... fingers crossed. so far again megan has been amazing she reminds me a lot like my aussie sister Jen...sniffle. i feel so grateful and lucky thus far.

Ankle is stiff, annoying but ready to get back to norm. cant wait for bikram yoga!

Its funny as the transition isnt so hard as there are so many similarities with australia. As I did in Oz I am keeping track....here are a few thus far:
- the "boot" in australia was the trunk of a car.....here it is the pharmacy (known as the chemist in Oz)
- not so many new words yet:
US/AU/UK
*lots/heaps/loads
*really/bloody/jolly nice

more to come...

Hi there!

Really cool blog, I hope you've settled into London! It's fun for me to read as a born and bred Londoner, your first impressions of the city! Like you say, I don;t imagine it's too different culture-wise from Australia, apart from the weather perhaps...

I have actually developed my mailing list of addresses for Christmas much like the video shows making use of MS word 2010 without issues.
I can print one label per web page or I can publish
the very same label on the page 30 times. I wish to publish
my list of different address on the page so I have 30 different tags to mail.
I can easily not get that finished the label part.
If I print with the regular going to file, then print, I get the file to publish out however not formatted for
the type of labels I am making use of. I merely do not see exactly
how I can do the various address tags to publish in the tag tab.

Thanks,.

Switched out the cartridge, exact same concern with grinding.
Don't know just what to do since its 6 years aged, and no real repair work spots. I might tear it apart and look at it. Many thanks.
