We have tv :)

The engineer from Sky came this morning and set us up with cable! We didn't want to get our hopes up since they missed the appointment on Tuesday, but they did end up coming today and restoring some of our faith in the British customer service system. Now its just a matter of ordering broadband (I've been on hold for almost 45 min so far)....

This weekend was great. Friday night we went out with some of Bobby's classmates near Bond St. Some highlights: finally meeting Takeshi - one of Bobby's friends in his "small group" who previously was an investment banker in Japan, Tom explaining to us how the British political system is setup, getting advice on where to vacation in India from Rav, convincing Nina from Columbia to only speak Spanish to Bobby to help him practice, and watching Ping-Ping distribute a tray of Tequila shots to the Chinese classmates that had never tasted it before. Such a great group! Here's a picture of Bobby with Bingqiong, Rav and Voon.

Yesterday while Bobby went to his first intermediate spanish class, I cut up through Regent's Park and explored Camden Town. It brought back memories of when I went to visit Kim DiReeno and Katie Ruigh while we were in college... There are great markets up in that area and there were tons of tourists out and about. Bobby and I are actually heading up there again this afternoon! While I was in the area, I ended up buying new blinds for our place (since the landlord hasn't made any attempt to fix our broken ones in over a month), and had to walk back almost 2 miles with an 8 foot long box that had the headrail in it. I couldn't even fit on the bus!! Needless to say, I got a lot of stares and some old man in the park yelled "hope you catch a lot with your new fishing pole!". I wish I had a picture - it was ridiculous!

Last night we met up with Andrew, Katie & Steph to go to the BC alumni sponsored BC vs. Notre Dame game event. Finally - Bobby had some American sports to watch! It was a great turnout from both BC and Notre Dame alumni. The coordinators setup a projector on the roofdeck (you can kind of see it below) and we all hung out, drank beers, played beruit and watched the game. Turns out we ended up seeing 3 more people that we knew from BC at the party and there are 7 of us total from the class of 2003 over in London! Small world.

Off to Camden to get out for a bit - its been gorgeous fall weather lately. Oh, and still on hold for broadband.....
