food and coffee

Well we've finally moved into our new home. We've spent our second night here and its great to be able to cook again and eat nice tasting food again.
We've just been watching the news, applying for jobs and doing some minor shopping. We still haven't really bought much here yet. Most of our money is going towards accommodation, food and transport. Just the basics, but its damned expensive here. Hopefully, we'll be able to cut down on the food expenditure since we can cook our own now. The only luxury so far, is that I've finally bought the new Harry Potter book. But I'm not able to start it yet because I'm only up to re-reading the Order of the Phoenix, which we've been trying to find cheap somewhere here. Tam's just about got her bank account details sorted out so maybe we'll be able to sign up with a library.
Another thing I have major issues with here, which was expected, is that the coffee here in London is shite. I guess it's because they're traditionally tea-drinkers here. And by the way they make coffee, it shows. So far, we've been trying to survive on instant - nescafe. But it's not the same. Can't wait till we get into Rome. Hopefully (no doubt) we'll be able to get a decent cup of coffee there.
