Hüt bini in London acho. Gnauer in Harrow, imene Vorort namens Pinner. Ich wohne da zäme mitem Mätti bi eusere Schuelleiterin und ihrem Maa i ihrem vorortypische Doppeleifamiliehuus mit Gartä. Mir händ en ganze Stock für eus sälber bezoge und ich han es super cools Zimmer mit eme art Ärker Fänster. Es isch e sehr sportverruckts Ehepaar (Rugby) und mir hend 4 TVs im Huus und natürli SkyTV mit öpe 10 Sportsänder. Mir händ scho euse ersti Spaziergang dur Pinner gmacht und es isch wükli en härzige Vorort mit villne Bachsteihüsli, Lädeli und Pärk. Mir hend e U-Bahn Linie in 10min Gehdistanz und jenes verschideni Büss, ja so cooli Doppelstöcker :) De Vercher isch rächt verwirrend und mi münd höllisch ufpasse damit mir nöd überfahre werded, d Autos chömed vode falsche siite und fü Fuässgänger aahalte ... read more

I am sitting at the Tower of London overlooking London Bridge and I am amazed. Australia is so young, I never realised how young. The history here is incredible, around every corner is another massive and amazing building steeped in hundreds of years of history. I am blown away by it all. I am quite content to just sit here at the moment as I spent most of my morning trying to get from my friend Errika's house into my hostel in the city. This was no small feat considering I have massively overpacked and probably am now up to about 25kg that I am carrying. 10 minute walk to the station, another 15-20mins once I got to Kings Cross as I got lost in the rain and a random Londoners bad directions. I am sending ... read more

I am staying with my friend Chloe and her partner Julie for my first couple of nights in London. I braved the tube and travelled into London to discover Traffalga square, the national gallery, and wander through St James gardens where on my way there was a film crew setting up, it seemed a bit sureal as it was so cliche. At the end of the gardens was Buckingham Palace and I entered through the 'Australia' gates which I thought was quite fitting! I then walked all the way around and wandered through Hyde park and discovered my first squirrels in London. I was so excited. They are quite inquisitive and will scamper right up to you and stand on their hind feet to discover if you have any food. Julie was nice enough to pack ... read more

I have a fear of dying. I guess all people fear dying to some extent, but when I think about dying, my chest constricts and my breathing is strained; I feel nauseous and fight the reaction to cry. I don’t know why I have this fear. This could possibly extend from my fear of missing out, that if I die, I will miss out on my own life, completing my own goals, standing triumphant over my achievements, watching my children grow, spending my life laughing with my most loved. Being privy to my bosses email, I just read a blog one of her friends had posted, a 28 year old man who has just been diagnosed terminally ill. As much as the blogs broke my heart I could not stop reading them. 28 years, that will ... read more
