G'day Mates!

I decided it was about time for another update. Things here have been going really well here. We are both still working, keeping up with maintaining the house and keeping it tidy, keeping the refrigerator filled with healthy meals and still having some time to relax and time to go out.

Over the weekend, we went out to another meetup with some people at the heavy metal bar. This of course was awesome as always. Matt and I made some Disaronno jello. Someone made jello shots for everyone last time and since we didn't particularity care for the Disaronno, so it was a good way to get rid of it. We hung out with some people that were there the last time and some new people. The music was great and again late in the night there was dancing, yelling out the song lyrics and just having a great time.

We also went out for bubble tea in central London. It was excellent and had exploding boba in it :) We got Caracatures done on the street. Mine has a ridiculously large grin and Matts has the biggest teeth you will ever see in your life hehe.

On Monday, I registered with another recruitment agency, this one dealing with long term positions, with many of the openings in Special Needs Schools.

Today has been fantastic. We slept in a bit and went to the London Zoo. It was gigantic and had any animal you could possibly want to see. My favorite part of this was: when we were walking through the monkey area, one of the monkeys jumped right into my purse :) I thought it was the funniest thing in the world. The Zoo Worker in the area did not agree. She asked me to walk further away from the ropes because the monkeys steal things off people and bite. There was also an aquarium, lizard building and a butterfly conservatory. The butterfly conservatory was awesome! Butterflies flew past and above us as we walked by. They stayed relatively still to eat and sit, so we were able to take some really cool photos. A butterfly even landed on my hat! It took off before we got a chance to take a picture unfortunately.

Right now, Matt is making seasoned salmon with vegetables and rice for dinner. I am really looking forward to it! After that, we will probably play some Mario Party and grab a movie to finish off the evening.

Hope all is well back home. Keep me updated every now and then please :)
