Well, here we are, my home for the next little while. London, big, cold, wet but generally very pleasant.
Had an interview with an agency yesterday morning. Seems they're crying out for Australian lawyers at the moment, they've put my name forward for 4 jobs already, all this in the space of 36 hours. The money is unbelievable, the job I really want pays £18.50 per hour. This equates to about £35 000 per annum, or $80 000 Australian. Whatsmore, the cost of living is not that much more expensive that what I'm used to. All in all, sitting back from the comfort of my uncle and aunt's house, the decision to come here seems like a very good one.
If I get offered any of these jobs, the plan is to delay starting for about 2 weeks, during which time I'll head up to Scotland for a look around. Never been there, it looks awesome and summer is about to disappear.
The weekend starts tomorrow, heading to Brighton to catch up with an old friend of mine, Rachael Smith. Then catching a lift with her to Liverpool to see Natasha Goss and a Beatles festival, before heading back to London on Monday in time for a job interview on Tuesday. Everything is happening very quickly, but its all a lot of fun at the moment. You should all make plans to get yourselves out here as quickly as possible!

glad to haer that all is well Your post card arrived yesterday thank you. Good luck with the jobs enjoy liverpool Liz
Good to see you've landed on your feet Sambo. 35K is awesome - you should be able to live like a drunken king. Perhaps Henry VIII. Except without the syphillis. Hopefully.
If you get to Scotland make sure you get up to the highlands. The northwest coast is lovely. Make sure you go to Plockton (which is where Hamish McBeth was filmed) and the Isle of Skye (which is where Talisker whiskey is made).
Drop us a postcard or two. Yvette sends her love.
