Settling into London

Hello Everyone

Progress has been made I’ve started working at Fortnum andMason until Xmas.  This means shirt, tie and shave for me everyday.  Which you’ll all appreciate is a bit out of character J.  Not finding it as bad as I thought I would actually.  Anyway I’m working through an agency that supplies Fortnum’s temps for Xmas.  The work is easy if monotonous I’m entering corporate orders in the database.
Unfortunately this working carry on doesn’t seem to agree with me as I’ve only done 7 days and I’m already sick.  Unfortunately 5 of those 7 days I’ve been sitting next to people that were sick and there has been a lot of sickness through the office generally, so I’m a bit low this weekend.
We had a great night out last week at Nicky’s work Xmas function, met some interesting people.  Nicky has settled into her new job very well and as the weather has been okay she has been walking to work.
We’ve mainly been getting into the routine and getting things sorted out in the last couple of weeks but we did visit the Imperial War Museum with our last day off together till Xmas.
I had a disconcerting experience the other day when I came out of work and went to walk through Picadilly Circus and saw police everywhere and cordons and a helicopter.  I found out later some of the Occupy London protesters had got into a building and onto the roof.
Guess your all gearing up for Xmas.  Stay safe, all the best from Dale and Nicky.
