Good Bye Hyde Park

Good afternoon everyone! amanda and i just got back from strolling around in the beautiful saturday evening weather and we are about to go to primrose hill to enjoy it some more.

I thought today was going to be my last day at Hyde Park but when i got there this morning katherine (the manager) said she didn't have me on the schedule, so i got to go home and go back to sleep! it's been fun just having a day off with amanda. so i'll go in tomorrow for my last day and then i start at harrods on monday! i have four days of training and then i think i'll be helping stock shelves and stuff like that to get ready for the department to open on august first. i have enjoyed working at hyde park and have made friends with the other girls there but i'm looking forward to having a job with more varied hours and not such long days. and also not smelling like horse poop when i come home haha!

last night amanda and i decided that we couldn't eat pasta again -- i have had a bowl of pasta every night for dinner for about a week and a half now -- so we looked up some recommended restaurants and picked a little burmese place. we found our way there and it was SO good. we split some sweet and sour chicken (very spicy) and some chicken and veggie noodles. it was really fun to go somewhere and try something different and new.

the past few weeks have mostly consisted of working and then coming home and showering, making dinner (pasta) and then hanging out either here or going for a pint at one of our pubs. amanda and i have been having a great time together and i'm really excited to get even closer over the next few months.

overall the past few weeks of my life have kind of been a dream and i am so stinking excited for the next six months.

off to the park! love you all!

Thank you for the update! I've been missing you! Even though we don't live close when you're in the US, it somehow just feels different now with you all the way across the pond. Love ya!
