Come along Christmas

---

Hi guys,

Yes it has been a while but here i am with a couple of blogs. I have now found a flat and living in Balham and only 3 minutes from the train and tube stations, 5 mins to the local supermarket and 5 mins from the pub i work in. It now takes me 45 mins door to door in the morning to get to work instead of up to an hour and a half from my old house. I live with a dude named Steve and he is an assistant night manager at the local supermarket (Sainsburys) so he works nights and i dont tend to see a lot of him. My other flatmate is moving in at the end of Jan and named Claudine. She is from St Lucia and has been in London for about 5 years, she works as a model and also in a fashion company while studying part time to become something in the medical line (i think its occupational therapy but i could be wrong), she seems really nice and hopefully i can pick some tips on Carribean cooking,......nice

I had been in my office job for 2 months when Christmas came along and it became Christmas Party time. Ours was in this really huge building in the Moorgate area, the building also known as The Brewery. Im going to guess it used to be a brewery.....
Anyways combine it with a heap of other businesses and we have a crowd of a good few hundred people. It was a full 3 course meal with wine provided and complimentary champagne before dinner. Then there was a comedy bit with about 3 or 4 comedians, which only one was any good!! then a big brass band took up christmas songs and we all took to the dance floor. It was a good night all round and the photos can vouch it i think. Enjoy.
Needless to say i took the next day off work and then it was the weekend. Come sunday morning (Christmas Eve) I took off to Zurich to meet Daniel and Leeza before heading to meet the rest of the whanau. Next blog..........
