Back in London. Haven't done much email or web surfing since we haven't really had internet or phone since we got here. Finally got the broadband box and home phone set up Wednesday morning (Aug. 31). The TV cable was installed Thursday late late evening. There is a huge fiasco with Sky - the local TV, Internet, Phone provider. They have a wrong address for us but keep promising they have the correct address. However, all the letters required for TV and even the TV install man are going to the wrong address. Luckily there is a very kind man at this wrong address that delivers these letters to us. Haven't met him yet - but we owe him big-time. I'll write him a THANK YOU note.
Another adventure is trying to wash cloths. The
dryer is very weird and takes forever to dry anything. It doesn't vent to the outside so there is a water collector in the dryer. You have to dumb the water every couple loads of cloths. The washer is very small and takes
forever too.
On
Saturday Aug. 27 (before our trip to Paris) we
shopped for a TV and fan. The fan is to help drown out the road noise since we're next to a pseudo-major road.
I really need a vacuum cleaner so I can clean but our credit card was
denied so will get this another day. You'll love this - we loaded a 46"
TV and the fan in the back of a taxi - too weird not having a car.
Our first week in London has been very busy. Next week we'll be hanging around London and get more settled. Then off to find a new church and start meeting ladies around the area.
