Busy Week

It is surprising how busy I can get even without work or school to occupy my time. This past several days have been very busy. We did lots of socializing with people in our ward, went to a modern art exhibit (pictured above), I had my internship, found a new hair salon, tried to buy new shoes (2 times, both unsuccessful), went to a book club, bought a desk off of gumtree (like craigslist, but for London), and spent several hours at vodafone trying (unsuccessfully) to get my phone working. All in all it has been a busy past couple of days.

Most importantly I was able to get my hair cut. It was getting awkward, mullety, and puffy. Not a good combination, especially when it is humid a fair amount of the time. I found a salon using reviews on yelp, and I was very happy with my stylist. I will defiantly go back there next time I need a trim, which with short hair will probably mean next month.

We also purchased our first piece of furniture this week! A new to us desk :) It is very nice and we love it. It is glass with black metal frame legs. We saw it at Habitat and loved it, but really didn't love the price, but we found one on gumtree for less than half the price. The tricky thing about buying big pieces of furniture is transport. As we don't have a car, we have to be creative. Sadly we couldn't carry the desk on the tube at it is glass and weighs 60 or 70 pounds. We instead we booked an Addison Lee taxi van and were able to get it to fit in the back.

So, our week has been busy. So far we don't have any weekend plans, but I am sure that we will come up with something fun to do :)
