Portobello Road Street Markets

Hi,
We're both safe and sound (thanks for caring). A little wary and freaked out by all the commotion, but we're all good. Alert, but not alarmed. Well, actually, we are a bit. It's hard not to be alarmed here. Police everywhere and sirens all over the shop. We're keeping low key. Keeping it secret. Keeping it safe.
Today we've been at the net cafe checking up on the news and stuff (some guy, a suspected bomber, got shot down this morning by the police in the tube). Went for a walk up at the Portobello Road Street Markets, which are fantastic. They're even better than the Growers Markets (A&ZT). So much food, clothes, bric a brac, nik naks, junk. All types of different crap. We were good and didn't splurge out. We just bought some grapes, an almond croissant, a schnitzel-chicken escalope, and some corn (for dinner). We'll know where to come for shopping and groceries as we'll be living near here soon.
We got a few minutes left here, so that's about it for now. Sent out some job applications, registered with some recruitment companies, finding out what other stuff we need to sort out (national insurance numbers, doctors to contact, etc.). Fingers crossed.
We'll post some more photos up later.
Lots of love,
Tam and Des
