Hello!
We are back online and have settled in a flat in North West London. At last! Move-in date was the 8th of July and the stability of having permanent place to is an immense relief. As the next few days go by I will colour in that picture.

However, for now, I give you the First Exciting Thing to happen.

Monday the 27thwas gray and rainy. This is what I had expected of London weather. It was a break from 32°C, sunny, humid weather. Perhaps it was the Toronto weather that I brought with me making my suitcase so heavy.

I maintain the following to be true. Our first Monday in London was my first celebrity sighting. Oh yes. Now, other than Liza Frommer from City TV who can hardly be called a celebrity, I have never made a celebrity sighting. That is, until our first English Monday. As I walked from our digs down to the high street, I passed what we would call a private school. It was about half past three, the parents were picking up their seeds and I walked right past Noel Gallagher from Oasis. Dead sure. I checked on their website and Oasis finished a tour in May of ’06. And according to the fan chat boards, Mr Gallagher, or Noel as I call him lives in Marylebone, a neighbourhood close to the school. Hey! Pretty cool, no? Not that we had anything that you would call an interaction. And despite saying that I am dead sure it was him, what are the chances for real? But I maintain I saw Noel Gallagher from Oasis.

I was there. You weren’t.
