House sitting

This weekend we are house sitting for a friend. Well in effect house sitting would mean that no one else is here, and considering another flat mate is still here we are really probably just keeping her company. Had a great sleep last night, the first time in ages without having to wear ear plugs to bed! It is pretty incredible what you can hear in the dead quiet of night. It was so silent that I could hear the blood pulsing in my ears. Does that make sense? Anyhow, very interesting.

The house also has Sky TV. The joy of channel surfing. Woo hoo. Small pleasures I know. We don’t watch telly at our house as there is nothing on. In fact, there is not much on Sky TV either come to think of it, just the pleasure of pushing all the buttons to see what pops up.

Sunday we head to London (yet again) this time to meet up in the afternoon with another friend from Australia. Unfortunately she is not here for long so it will be a fleeting visit before she goes to Scotland then France. For having been in the UK for over a year now, we have not really spent much time in London at all. However, over June and July I will have been there 7 times (3 times for work, the rest for pleasure).

Anyway, it is time to get back to my channel surfing, maybe even make myself a delicious jam crumpet for breakfast. Speaking of crumpets, did you know that another X-Files movie is being released. Looking forward to it.

P.s. A bit of trivia for you in case you are wondering what a crumpet has to do with the X-Files. The character of Scully played by Gillian Anderson was referred to as “the thinking man’s crumpet”.
