X-mas and NYE





It's a leap year

One very interesting experience was having mom, Magnus, the kids AND their grandparents all over here at once. Had booked a "hotel" right near Bethnal Green tube, which turned out to be building site without functioning bathrooms; lit up by neon lights and conveniently located right next to a liquor-shop. Also was very neatly located right under train-tracks with only the minor disturbance of the occasional train passing and shaking the entire building. But since this only happened around every ten minutes, nobody complained constantly or drove me mad.

The first couple of days we tried Indian food and Chinese - with varying degrees of success and appreciation, so spent last two nights eating pizza. Which is also nice.

Have become a student, once again. Is like hate self and cannot keep from setting self up... At least seems really easy, have done more than half the course in one weekend - then will just have to wait until exam in June.

Work bit better but still a very tragic sales-job marketed as pleasant human resource / recruiting gig. Oh well. As they say - unbearable but we persist.
