coveting heels

I'm coveting heels at the moment despite London being built for flats. With roads rarely kept up and an excess of cobblestoned alleys, heels don't make for practical walking. However, they make my legs look lean, I am 5'8" (the height I was supposed to be!) and they are just so beautiful, perhaps I should resign myself to falling once and a while for the sake of fashion. Or I could just have these beauts instead!

a battersea abode

So L2 and I took the plunge and have put an offer to rent a place across from Battersea Park. It's not as simple as you think - yes they've decided that our rent offer was good enough (£5 less than the offer per week) but now we need to have enough cash for one month rent, plus six weeks deposit (which they hold and we never get the interest from...) the agency fees, the right references and more employment things that you could shake a stick at!

Cross your fingers we make it through.....

under a blanket of snow

It's snowing in London. And I mean a proper storm - not just a light dusting. It's quite amazing to see as we've had about three inches overnight and the city has completely shut down. The city was barely built for excessive rain let alone the cold wet stuff.

Of the tube lines - only three are running, there are no buses and it's laughable if you say you want to take a train. My tube line was running so I got in late but I'm here. Needless to say I am one of few.

I'll put some of my own pictures up later but below is a picture of the Canary Wharf station thanks to the BBC.

Sass, crass and normality

So British sexy - Russell Brand? His recent stint at the BBC has made him even more popular. His recent comedy tour has sold out and girls are literally becoming Beatles fans just to get touch his hand.

But his too tight jeans, his crass attitude and his hair just send shudders down my back. Never mind the fact that he is a comedian that I do not think is funny. But the ladies love him in England - his high cheekbones and sassy walk just do it in for them. I don't think feminine features should be the defining characteristics of a man - but that's Europe.

I prefer Canadiana stock. Ryan Gosling recently released a single (thanks cowgirl) that is pretty good and reflects some bonafide artistic talent. Simply the best.
