sigh, London

So London is great/ London is awful. The weather is half lovely, half wet and cold. The job situation is I don’t have one or any income/ plenty of opportunities out there for work and have been applying heaps. This the city where I know the most people so far/ feel the most alone. I also now have to find… Read more →

quick update

Ok, sorry for the lack of updates for the grand total of 4 of you who do read this! Hah. Anyway, yes, I am in London now.

My goal was clear, after a complete fail at finding an “I Heart Canada” t-shirt I had to make one. We had scoured all the tourist shops in Victoria, of which there are a lot; and… Read more →
