52 and sunny

that's right. the land of grey skys and hellish wind has been blessed the past few days with temps of 52 degrees and sun. yeah sure, it rained in the morning, or half way through the afternoon... but this is london we're talking about here. just thought i needed to rub this in all of your faces while i have the chance. sounds like minnesota and wisconsin have had far from pleasant weather lately... ha ha ha. and believe it or not ... the flowers are blooming. beat that! you guys won't see any buds or leaves for at least another month. i love london. i might just stay.



now's the perfect opportunity to introduce the amazing, the luxurious, the one and only ... LEYTON! yeah, so i guess i've been lying when i told you i was living in london. well, not REALLY lying. anyway, leyton is about 20 minutes by tube (that's what we "locals" call the underground system ... duh.) away from where i go to school in central london. not bad for a london commute. as you can see it is truly nothing but the classiest most happening place in all of zone 3. well, kind of. doesn't matter. what matter is that i am saving a good $240/mo by staying here instead of a few stops closer. i'm smart.



the outside of my flat. yup, it's pink.



my block. cute little flats all in a row.



the leyton tube station... conveniently just around the block. (ya hear that mommy and daddy... no walking home in the dark for 30 minutes by myself.) again, i'm smart.
