We have a 'flat' !

So... got to London yesterday. Trains were good. People were all very polite and helpful. We made our way to Willesden Green station without getting lost (yay us) and then stepped outside... OMFG London's 3 degrees is so not the same as Canberra's 3 degrees! Absolutely freezing!!! My guess is that it's something to do with the humidity making it feel colder. Anyway, we stopped at a cafe, had some breakfast and waited to be picked up by the accommodation people.

Our studio apartment is actually much bigger than I expected it to be. Nice floors. All clean. Great cupboards with lots of shelves. Comfy bed. Only problem is that the section for hanging stuff isn't very high, so dresses and Andy's shirt kinda hang, but the bottom of them sits... if that makes sense :P Shower works well. Water pressure is good. Heater works incredibly well, which is something I was really worried about. Looks like we might be spending a lot on electricity, though. But at least we have no other bills.

We're very close to the high street, which has a sainsbury supermarket, as well as the Willesden Green tube station, so we think we're very well located. There's lots of takeaways and a butcher, chemist, GP, cinema and library all within 10 minutes walk

That's about all for now... gotta go catch a train into the city... I wonder what we'll see... :)
