Our house, in the middle of our street

Okay, so technically not my house - but it will be for the next two weeks!

Tis correct, I have quit the crazy hostel and am moving out tomorrow.
After two months of night shifts - hectic sleeping patterns, random people in beds they aren't supposed to be in, calling the police because a crazy italian man refuses to leave and cleaning up after one too many party - I am out of here!

Gatt, Jill, Jared and Carly (funnily enough they were all originally Andrew's friends) signed a lease on a place in Stepney Green and have kindly let me stay short term.
So, for the time being I'm on a massive job hunt, which is a little stressful but I also have some amazing trips coming up - Paris for my birthday, a day trip to Bruges with Jill and a weekend visit to Copenhagen to visit Tristan.

And as a spur of the moment trip, my Dad is bringing my Pop over for a couple of weeks. They land on the 29th of November and I couldn't be more excited to see them!

But for now, I have to say goodbye to the Astor Hyde Park.
I have had some absolutely hilarious times here and met some really incredible people!
Jill, Anna, Liv, Antwon, Colin, Mark, Naomi, Crispy, Danny, Braiden, Brian, Jizz, Scott, Sean, Pontus, Oscar, Daniel, Luna, gahhhhh there's too many!
Toodles Astor, and everyone living here, love love love to you all.

Halloween with Cwispy!

Horror movie, right there on my TV

Ahhhh Halloween. I'm finally in a city that embraces it.
About a week ago the staff were chucked into pairs and told to host an event every few days.
Scott and I managed to score the Halloween party - held the Friday before last.

We bought tons of decorations, carved pumpkins and put on 3 all you can drink punches.
...And the night was a bigger hit than we could have expected.
The kitchen was buzzing with guests and staff, most in costume, some just covered in fake blood.
As you can imagine, it was a rather messy night - but so much fun!

Since then we've had a couple of quieter days and nights hanging out with the staff and our new swedish friends. Braiden's back from Brissy so we're slowly adding to the crew here.
We all took a trip to Oxford Street to brave Topshop and Primark, and came back succesful :)
But that wasn't the most exciting part. Everywhere I go now I'm starting to see Christmas decorations!
We got kicked off our bus early and had to walk past Harrods. Walking past soon turned into a half an hour stop inside, where we saw crocodile shoes for £8,200. The area we're in really is how the other half live, someone find me a rich husband stat!

Jill, Gatt, Jared and Carly managed to score a house to rent, so it's exciting times all round.
I'm still on the job hunt, but lucky to have this place for now - at least I have somewhere to sleep!

Guy is off in Estonia (I think?) and Ali is skating his way through France - lucky boys!

I've become attached to the fish we have at reception, Laurence Fishbourne. Gatt and I cleaned out his tank, and he was moved to a better spot where he is much happier, playing with the rocks in his tank.

I'll try to do more exciting things soon, I think my posts are going downhilllllll.
But ta ta for now, missing you all!
