Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to London

This is it.
Arrived ar Heathrow Airport yesterday and headed into town to meet Joona and buy myself a duvet so I'd have something to sleep with last night.

In the afternoon I headed back to the airport to get my bags which I had left there over the day and to wait for one of my new housemates, Alex, who was kind enough to come and pick me up from the airport.

The house which I live in now is actually not that bad, fairly new adn the surrounding houses are all quite similar. As it's quite close to the airport, the surrounding area of course isn't super nice or anything, but I'm sure it will ba allright, at least for 6 months (the length of my tenancy contract!).

Been using today to try to sort out some things like banking and telephone things. The hitch is though that I can't change my bak account address 'till I get a document confirming where I live, and in order to get a telephone contract, I need a bank account! So haven't been able to do much today to be honest, except maybe to explore a bit of central Slough (the nearest 'big' town to Langley, which is where I live). Jesus Christus, very English it is... High Street and all, a bit depressing actually. Oh well, don't need to come here often anyway, if ever.

Can't wait to start training, which starts on Monday 18th.
Getting very excited already.
3 of my housemates (the girls) are hosties for British Airways and had their first flight yesterday. They came in last night quite excited and said it was generally a pretty fantastic job.
My other housemate, Alex, started his hostie training at BA yesterday.

Oh, and surprise surprise:
It's raining today!
