Oyster and Seafood Fair among other things...

Well it's been a pretty uneventful week...have been settling into our new home and Des has been off hard at work doing some filing for the local housing office..and i've been the good 'wife' keeping house and doing other trivial things...thank goodness i have interviews coming up as i'm getting a bit stir-crazy and itching to get my hands into work again....hmm am sure i will be taking those words back soon enough but for now it's true..

The housemates are real 'choice bro'..and if we stay around around long enough we may end up coming home with some kiwi accents! how about that..just getting in touch with my kiwi roots i guess..

Went for 'quiet' drinks with the housemates down at the Eagle which is a local pub and really quite a nice english pub with nice comfy sofas and even a large beer garden out the back. Tried some really nice strawberry beer from belgium called Fruli..YUM...if only all beer tasted like this...it all ended a bit messy (if you want the gory details..just ask..i may be at liberty to say) for someone in particularly..but i'm not naming any names!!! Truly becoming an englishman i say..
Anyway so far this weekend we've been to the Oyster and Seafood Fair which was held down near London Bridge along the Thames..they had stalls set up selling all types of seafoody things and we had a plate of mussels in a garlic white wine sauce (bit overcooked but i guess hard to control in such a large pot)...and also some freshly shucked oysters with a bit of chorizo on top..tasty with lemon n some tabasco sauce.

Tomorrow we're thinking of heading out to the Old Spitalfield Markets which are suppose to be good...not quite sure what they sell i think a bit of everything so Des might even be able to pick up an old guitar for cheap..

Well at least one of us isn't turning pommy..i even managed to get away without talking 'bout the weather in the blog..well close enough..

missing all at home
