Sad Day

well, the last few weeks have been pretty eventful and a little (lot) bit stressful. Amanda has left to go back to the states to finish up school, so i am starting to try and figure out what my life is going to look like without a best friend around all the time. I am currently in the process of finding people to move into our sherlock court room and i am going to be moving into a different flat just down the road in chalk farm where i will have my own room and very reasonable rent.

since amanda was heading home we've been spending the last few weeks just soaking up every moment and trying to do all the things we love and the things she hadn't done yet. last week i had wednesday and thursday off which was really nice to have two full days together to do whatever we wanted. on wednesday we took the train down to greenwich and had a wonderful time walking around enjoying the beautiful weather. we went in the observatory where the prime meridian is, and also where they measure greenwich mean time. we mostly just mosied around and looked in shops before heading back into the city. on thursday we just hung around and enjoyed a cloudy day from a cafe.

amanda and i had set aside saturday night to go on a date together. so we went to primrose hill and had dinner at one of our favorite pubs whose food always sounds SO amazing. they have recomendations from the michelin list and other food tasters so we knew it was going to be good. i had pork loin -- amazing! it was really fun to just sit and talk and enjoy the night.

i had another day off on sunday so we got up and went to the columbia road flower market, which is absolutely amazing. they close down the street every sunday and flower vendors line the sidewalk selling any sort of flower and plant you can think of. it is gorgeous, and the weather was just as perfect. we then strolled over to brick lane which is a really famous street on the east end of london that has gotten really popular for university aged kids and there are lots of street vendors and shops and restaurants. we then hit our old stomping ground in central london and walked down to covent garden where she wanted to buy some shoes. then we ended up on primrose hill enjoying the last bits of sunshine. monday night we went and listened to jazz in camden and hung out, not wanting the night to end. then on tuesday i had to go to work early and amanda headed out to the airport.

i've been trying to keep occupied since then so i don' tget too lonely! and that's about it for now i think. love youall!
