Ok, with the flat stuff mostly sorted, and feeling greatly accomplished all around, tonight it's fun time! Time to go do something British and go see some fireworks for Guy Fawkes Day (actually on Monday, but I guess Saturday is the better night for fireworks). Standing around outside watching fireworks on a nice warm evening for 4th of July? Ok, sounds lovely. Standing around outside at night on a brisk, chilly, early November evening? Well... ok... if that's what they do... At least it's a chance to finally go and meet up with some of these friends who have been awaiting my arrival. None of whom are actually British, in fact. Then probably going out and about later. The only downfall of having collected all of this really nifty going-out wear in London throughout the years is that now that I'm finally here, it's not quite so novel and rare and special. Oh well, small price to pay!
Also, Dear Hubby and I had the good ol' family experience of going out shopping for food and other practical home life things. And came home with this:
Match made in heaven, indeed!
First driving experience also happened. Slowly and hesitantly made my way around the block a few times and back to the flat. Not too bad. I'm thinking I'll handle it like I handle everything else new adventurous. Be optimistic, patient, and feign confidence! Just gotta go and make yourself do it! And a master plan has even been developed if I get myself into any sort of trouble - stick the Kitties onto some other unsuspecting nearby car and make a break for it!!
