Summer Fun!
August 13th, 2008
So here would be the first update in August from both of us sitting here in London. We left Sydney last week and after a hellishly stressful journey, we both made it here just a day apart! Nathan arrived on the morning of the 9th and was thrown into a birthday party my mum had been planning for months! But he did really well considering it all and by the end, we just collapsed from jetlag! He’s the best birthday present I’ve ever had and he definitely made the day the most special it possibly could be.
It’s been quite nice weather here. Mid 20′s with Summer showers which are refreshing. We bought Mario Kart for the Wii which we’ve been playing heaps, it’s just so much fun! I’m hoping today for us to have lunch at the windmill’s cafe which is so quaint. I really like it there with their picnic benches under the 19th century windmill.
We made the best banana cake ever the other day. It’s a family recipe from Nathan and now it’s proudly in our hands and I’m prepared to guard it no matter what! It sounds selfish, but it’s almost too good to share! We didn’t cook it long enough so there was a tiny trickle of goo in the middle which was all warm and it really added to the taste of it. I swear, we could sell them and make a mint!
Right now, we’re sitting here with the Olympic rowing on, it’s pretty exciting. It’s all been pretty exciting really. Australia’s doing really well with their medals, and surprisingly, so is the UK. So we’re both happy in that respect.
We found a shop just 5 minutes down the road which sells South African food, but they sell Milo too! I can’t believe all the time I’ve been living here, it’s been right under my nose! But we went along and bought some and also picked up some grape fanta which is actually rather nice! As for now, we have to pop out for some groceries and hopefully the Sun will come out from behind the clouds again for lunch!
Until next time!
