So, update on the parcel pick up I went on at the end of my last post... I still don't know what it is because I went to pick it up and they had lost it! Turns out however mine wasn't the only one, it seems that every parcel that didn't get delivered on the day mine was supposed to was also missing. Hopefully they find it soon!
It's still cold and raining but the wind isn't as bad today. Housemate and I had tea again, although I forgot about mine and it went cold as is what usually happens! We have had a bit of a lazy day and decided to order pizza for dinner as we found this really nice pizza shop that delivers and it is amazing pizza.....and its square!!!! its our go-to for pizza nights.
I haven't done too much else this week, I've mainly been working and sleeping and playing guitar. However I have decided I need to get out and about a bit more and focus on what I am doing over in London rather than focusing on things back home. I have made a few goals for the next few weeks....
1. Practice Guitar everyday even if its just for 20 mins.
2. Walk to the park a few mornings every week and spend an hour or two reading.
3. Go to 1 place new each week.
I had another guitar lesson this week which was great fun! I now know how to play two songs to speed - Pumped up kicks and Chasing cars. I've also learnt a few scales as well. So guitar is well on the way!
My work hours have been a bit strange, I don't normally finish until about 12:30/1am so my sleeping pattern has been horrible, I am looking for a new job though that has hours that suit me a bit better and will allow me to sleep a bit better.
I have another makeup assisting job coming up this week which will be exciting. I don't know anything about it yet but hopefully will find out more soon!
Oh! I booked my return ticket back home for September next year! It will only be for a visit but it will be nice to go home for a bit.
For now I'm off to bed but I will try to write at least once a week :)
See ya!

Hello!
London. Cold, wet, raining, overcast and its not even winter...or so I keep getting told! Hello my friends and fellow blogger's I am currently writing from my kitchen, while its 'blowing a gale' outside and my housemate makes us tea, because well what else do you have on a freezing cold movie and pyjama day, in England, other than tea!? Today is a good day :)
So for those who do not know, I moved from Melbourne, Australia to London, England 2 and a half months ago to study as a makeup artist, hair stylist and nail technician. I completed the course and struggled to find work in the industry so I turned to hospitality and found a job at a local franchise that is very 'retro diner' minus the poodle skirts and skates! I have also done some makeup assisting work which has been a lot of fun too.
While moving to the other side of the world, without my friends and family I have had to find things to occupy my time and I have rediscovered my love for music and picked up the guitar. My housemate also decided to learn an instrument and bought a violin. So we are a bit of a noisy household during the day! As I already know how to play violin I have been helping her a bit get started and she is quite the star pupil! haha
Guitar on the other hand I needed a bit of help as it is quite different to any instrument I have played before. So off I went to have a lesson and I had the time of my life! It was great just playing songs with my teacher! I learnt so much and I have a better understanding of how a guitar relates to a violin, viola and double bass! So practice practice practice! who knows maybe one day I'll be touring the world with my band! One can dream :)
As it is quite cold over here I have had to buy some warmer clothes as my ones from Melbourne didn't quite cut it. In an effort to save money I've have been in and out of the local op shop which i have learnt over here are called Charity shops! There are quite a few words I have learnt that are different to back home. Some people may frown upon my choice of shop however I have really found some good pieces for a very small price. I have picked up a nice winter coat, a cashmere top, a few angora mixes and some other warm tops. I am all for the kindness to animals however angora is rabbit fur and I did not know this until I got home :( but it is very warm so I decided to keep it.
I am off to the post office now as I have a parcel delivery to pick up! I don't remember ordering anything but I guess I will soon find out what it is!
Until next time!
Cheerio!
