Tooting Bec!!!

Gday gday!!!,

Well its wednesday the 5th, goin to pay my bond for my new flat in tooting Bec tonight!, pretty random huh?, its in the south west of London.

Nothing to dramatic goin on here, went to Hyde park last night anf played sum touch (Kiwis vs Saffas) it was 8-8, then went and had a beer and crashed out.

Hostel is goin alright, for the moment me and julian have had a 4 bed room to ourselves, so cant complain, it is £89 per week but its all just a stop gap measure till i get my sh*t sorted.

New flat is pretty mint, a lil outa the way but its clean and ive got my own room!!!.

Anyway, im at work and nothing else really has been happening, Italy won last night, was cool to see their fans pour out on to street singing and dancing with their flags.

Be good and take care guys,

30 degrees (London in July!)

Morning/evening whatever it maybe,

Feeling pretty sorry for myself after a fairly big night to be honest, didnt get back in until 5am this morning or there abouts, we were just at a mates flat.

Quite confused as to what and where im goin to be living, went to the hostel that we thought would be finr today and they were fuill, so got a bit down as having a roof over my head is something i consider important. So we came home, looked up 3 hostels around us and went to see them, on our way we banged into a girl we knew and she said to try hers, so we walked inside and it was sweet, 89 pounds a week tho but at least its a roof and i got another email form somebody that i had applied then not telling me its 70 pounds instead of 80 pounds, so may go and check that out tomo.

Of course its a year since the bombs went off here in london, so its goin to be fairly topiucal over the next few weeks, its already in the news.

England lost!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really wanted to be here the year england won it you know! i was geniunely sad to see them lose on penalties. Just watching the brazil vs france now.

Quite interesting coming up with Julian heading up to Scotland to live, to see how i go, not living with people i know, maybe living away from one of the only areas i know here in London. Thats all just goin to be a challenge though, i cant lie, sometimes when your tired or whatever you can get down, not the easiest thing sometimes when you think you wouldnt mind been at home and you know its so far away but its all character building i spose, hard to always see things positively but its normal to be happy then sad and back to happy isnt it? Plus when you first come here its all about the countries your goin to visit and the things your goin to do, reality is you need money to do all those things and even when your earning money it you still have pay for your living in London and get all the normal day to day things, not trying to be all negative just realistic, ill listen to those that disagree.

Off to spain in 19 days!!!, BARCELONA IS CALLING!!!. Cant wait ay, nbot goin to ahve a,ot of money over there, but will just lie on the beach and chill out, sounds soooo good!.

30 degrees here today, so hot but i dint get out of bed till 12 i think went to look at a flat in west kensington but i was late and knowone was there, my fault to be honest weve only really been motivated at looking for other places to live in the last wek or two, so its our own fault.

Anyway, keep in touch guys, i know ive been slack and i apologise, things can get hectic here, please dont be offended, I will try harder!

Luv,

Trav
