Well, as some of you loyal 'slowlane' watchers may have noticed, 'slowlane' has been a bit under the weather lately and you haven't heard much from us. It all has something to do with the web-hosters and a lot of big words I don't understand, but Aaron's got us up and running again.

The problem is that we don't really have any news... we are in the process of waiting to hear back from jobs while we outstay our welcome at cousin Gary's place in Staines. Hopefully, (fingers crossed) we'll be out of here and into a flat this weekend - however, we don't know whether it will be in London or somewhere else until we get a phonecall today. Vague enough for you?

Meanwhile, we are still on holiday I guess, but itching to get money (I mean jobs) and a flat and unpack! The advantage of not having jobs is that we can have a bit of a look around while we wait. I've managed to show Aaron a few of the things I remember from when I was here 5 years ago (strangely enough, not much changes in England in 5 years) and we've just about got the tubes and trains sorted (next step is the buses).

Aaron: We have managed to see a little of London. One of the many museums, Big Ben, Parliament, Westminster Abbey, the underground, and a few other places. Nothing here is to daunting, and things don't actually appear to cost THAT much. Well it wouldn't if we were earning pounds and not spending dollars. I must say however, that british weather is as bad as they make it out to be. Although it hasn't really rained since we have been here, it has been overcast almost every day.

We are planning on going to Twickenham this weekend to watch the England league of the World 7s
