I Shouldn't Judge

This week's accommodation is next to a dodgy looking estate and the landlady's some kind of hippy person. But oddly enough, considering there's no double glazing I actually slept OK. And I realised maybe I shouldn't get so annoyed with all these weird places I'm staying. Maybe I should think of this as an adventure. An adventure into batshit crazyness.

Three Times

That was the third time the Heat have won the NBA Championship. And the second time in a row. Oh how everyone mocked LeBron when he said he wanted to win multiple rings. Oh how everyone wanted him to fail. Oh how they laughed when he didn't go all the way his first year at Miami.

You know who's laughing now? LeBron James. And all of South Florida.

Still Can't Tell

Despite living in the United States for over 15 years, and living in The Empire for the last four years, I still cannot tell the difference between American and Canadian accents until someone says "about".

London Buildings

This week's accommodation appeared to tick many of the boxes. It was clean and in a nice neighbourhood. But to borrow one of my favourite quotes from Sir Paul McCartney, "it was hiding a multitude of sins".

The bed linen, if you can call it that, leaves a lot to be desired. And what's with the buildings in this town? I thought they were carved out of granite. Turns out they're all origamied out of paper.

Oh, and as of last sunday, I'm 30. Game Over.

Accommodation, Round 2

It seems this week, I might have traded in one big problem for several small ones. So far, the place seems reasonably quiet, but it's quite dirty, and there's no internet, and the shower door is broken, and it's very tiny. I guess I can't complain, as last night I was able to sleep, which I couldn't say about the last place.

This whole cheap hotel/serviced apartment schtick isn't working out. Next week I'm going to a b'n'b. Let's hope I don't trade in these problems for another set.

Just Like Jose

Just like Jose Mourinho, I have returned to London. But I'm willing to bet he's going to be staying somewhere a bit nicer than where I'm staying. At least I still have the flat down in Lymington to come home to on weekends. Better start looking for next week's diggs, as I'm not going to be asking these guys for an extended stay.
