Greetings to you!

Well it snowed this week and boy was it cold. It was great to wake up to the calm of the snow and it was quite a surprise. I thought it was only going to snow in the north. Depending on who you talk to...it either gets tons of snow and the temp drop to -10 or the flip side states that it just never gets too cold.

I have found the downfalls of having a slightly larger flat, it is rather difficult to heat...one small radiator, a wall unit fire place and a heater in my room. Who knew that the vents in my room actually pumped in heat. It really good to find out the morning after it snows! I'm now a big fan of the Japanese heating toilets. Not that I have one, but it would sure be nice as I walk into the bathroom with it 4 ft drafty window. Now I know why they were actually invented.

Work is starting to move along. I finally got out of the office and was able to network and begin establishing my contacts. I had my first off-friday and spent it with Torrance City Attorney, John Fellows. We managed to good pub crawls, one along Euston station closer to my stomping grounds and then another on the south side of the river, next to the London Bridge (the new one remember!) My next off-friday I am headed to Bristol and Bath. I am meeting up with two of my girlfriends for the weekend. It's the start of the 6 nations rugby...not that I'm too interested, but people will be descending into the area. I should have some pics to post too.

Family update, Ted and Joni are having another little girl. Hannah is starting to walk which my mom forgets every once in awhile. My dad had his debut on You Tube... which I found hilarious. And the Trifecta is still going strong and crazy fun.

Talk soon.
