New Accomodation In Old Town

For the past few weeks, I've been staying at my new place in London. It's back in Chelsea, so that means I can walk to work again. Finally! I have to admit, it's a rather first world problem, but I did feel a little heartbroken that I had to ride the Underground for so many stops. And go through the horrible station that is Earl's Court.

But the new place is nice. I don't have an en-suit bathroom, which is a shame, but other than that I can't really complain. Upstairs is a bit noisy, but they go to bed around the same time I do, so it all works out. Speaking of sleeping, I've been having problems lately, as not only did I injure my knee a month ago, but I have somehow gotten a cyst or infection of some kind in my ear which is extremely painful. The doctor hasn't given me anything for it, so it looks like I'll have to either go crawling back and beg for antibiotics, or go private again. It's all money out these days!

It's 2018!

What a week we've had! The day after Christmas, we drove over to Holland to surprise Uncle Wim on his birthday, the same as he surprised Dad on his 50th birthday! It's was fantastic to see all the family again, and we had a wonderful time playing Dutch party games. Then, we drove back, through the Channel Tunnel. I've been through before, but only on the passenger train. The car train carriages looked like they were going to take us to Auschwitz! Very grim looking!

Once we were back, Jen came down to visit, and we went up to Uncle Pete's to have a party with the family over here. It was the first time Jen had met some of my cousins, so I was glad she came along as well. After all that, we decided to stay at home over New Year's and Jen and I watched the Pride & Prejudice marathon all day. Like the cool, trendy kids we are.
