Mouldy blankets
Hi peeps
Our new flat is all sorted! Claire and I are moving into a brand spanker in Fulham on Saturday. Its such a beautiful flat, renovated earlier this year so its ultra modern. I met some of the roomates last night who seem like my kinda people. There are two males from Australia and NZ and one English girl. It is so ideal, its about a three minute walk from Fulham Broadway which is my favourite spot in London, where all the great pubs are!
It’s getting really cold at the moment, they say it may snow on the weekend. I was listening to the radio and they were speaking about the homeless and how a large percentage will die during the winter months. It really makes me stop and think about how awful it must be for them. Its bad enough walking to and from work, these people are lying on the freezing concrete, wrapped in carpet off cuts and mouldy blankets in minus degree temperatures. I want to do something to help but I feel afraid of them. Not that most of them are threatening in any way but a lot are drunk and out of it. There was this one little homeless man that used to sit in an alleyway where I passed on my way home. I haven’t seen him for ages; I gave him a few of my groceries once or twice. I sometimes wonder how he’s doing; he was so skinny and frail.
I just realised I talk about homeless people a lot! I think its because being from a small city like Hobart you don’t really see any, then you come here and the streets are full of them.
On a brighter note, work is going fabulously well. This coming from the girl who claimed she wasn’t a "career type." I got some great feedback from my bosses who want to put me on a manager’s course at the beginning of next year which is an internationally recognised course! Sweeeet. I may actually have a promising career after all. It would be so great to stay in the television industry, as it’s such an interesting ever-changing environment to work in.
My social life has taken a nosedive for the past couple of weeks because I’ve been stuck with the dreaded flu. It should be back on track this weekend so I’m sure to have more news to report on that front.
Hope that everyone’s exams went well and your all readying yourselves for the party season! Have a cocktail for me! Keep me tuned in on all the goss.
Also wanted to make mention of a blog I wrote back on 29th June regarding James Blunt and my prediction for him being big in Aus. I hear he is? So happy for him, hes a bit of a hottie eh girls?
Lots of love hugs and a long overdue ass slapping
