What a dream, the girls now have there own room and we all managed to sleep undisturbed through the night last night. It makes a massive difference. Getting up in the morning was so much easier.
I got the shuttle bus down to work and it stops about 5 mins walk from the office which brings the total home-work travel time to about 10 mins! That saves me 50 mins everyday and thanks to the hours over here it means I do not need to get out of bed until 8am.
At lunch time I went to a shop that stocked Early Learning Centre gear from the UK. Once in the shop it felt like I was actually at an ELC shop in the UK. I got the girls an art starter kit, a couple of walkie talkies and a DVD which they were severely impressed by when I got home. Courtesy of some information I got at work I also found a supermarket in the IFC mall which sells pretty much anything you could want. If we are missing anything from home I honestly think it would not be a huge problem to find it here.
Catherine found the club quarters in the building and was pretty impressed with the layout. Something about treadmills in a spot with a great view and they are hardly ever all used so I could go before work in the morning. Not quite sure what she is trying to say there! I was much more impressed when she said they sell my favourite ice-cream there.
It rained for most of the day today. When I woke it was misty and looked like drizzle but by the time I left it was solid rain. It is good to see that they really are prepared for it here and it does not seem to make a big difference to the way things run.
Dinner tonight was a Chinese take away from Soho. it was great stuff. I am surprised at how similar it is to the Chinese food in the UK but the real difference I have found is that the spicy dishes seem to have a bit more bite and you can somehow tell that the ingredients used are that little bit more fresh or local.
