Time is passing so quickly.... I blinked and January was over. I've been up to my eyeballs in work at school, and have recently begun tutoring after school, so it has made for long days. Winter snuck up on us and we woke this past Monday to absolutely frigid temperatures - like 2-3 degrees celcius (I'm trying to remember the difference in Farenheit, but I can't). Em the dogs and I had a couple of mellow weekends, where all we did was walk around our general neiborhood (Chiswick and Hammersmith) and find new parks to take the boys. Charlie and Shadow have fully settled in and love all these new adventures. We have also been catching up on movies - saw the Iron Lady (Meryl Streep was a revelation!), and Shame - incredibly dark and gray, but well filmed, well acted. Glad I saw it for the performances, but won't likely see it again....
Yesterday we went with our two Kiwi friends to Tate Britain, and got lost in centuries of British Art. The David McCullen photography exhibit had the biggest impact on me - so stark and fascinating.
The Superbowl is this evening, and "our" team, the Patriots are playing! Of course, as we are 5 hours ahead, I have to make it to 11:30 just to see the beginning. Looks like night time coffee will be needed:).
We are hoping to get out of town for a few days soon, as I have a break - not sure where we are going yet - I love that about here - we could easily go to several different places within a 2 hour flight. Time to get started with our adventures outside the UK. Until then, I'll leave you with a few pics... Hope you all are weathering the winter!
