Tram & Paul in the UK

21 Days Till Christmas

I thought I would post an update about what Paul and I have been up to in the past month. Its been so busy and hectic that we haven't had time to post up any photos and messages.

A couple of weeks ago we went to Venice for a long weekend to visit Michelle. Venice was absolutely amazing with all the canals, bridges and Gondalas. Just like in the movies. It was very lucky that we had Michelle as our tour guide because we would have totally been lost. The food was really nice and the people were really friendly. Paul loved the pizzas and Cabonara. I recommend that everyone should go to Venice. I'll get Paul to put up the photos.

When we got back from Venice one of Kelli's friends, Nicole, came and stayed with us. It was really nice having another female in the house. hehe. We took Nicole to the walkabout in Leicester Square to watch the Rugby World Cup and, well, you all know what happened. The walkabout was full of Poms all singing "swing low sweet chariot".

The next week I had to take a friend from work to lunch and Paul had to buy Dave a drink because we had both put beats on that Australia to win. Anyway, we'll get them next time. Damn that wilkinson! shouldn't have had my photo with him at wimbeldon.

We also went with Nicole on a tour to Bath, Stonehenge and the Cotswalds. It was really nice but we managed to pick the coldest and wettest day to go. More about that at a later date when we put the pictures up.

Last weekend we went out with Kelli and had Spanish Tapas because she was leaving to go home. We are both going to really miss her. This weekend is another really busy weekend because we have tickets to the tennis to see Boris Becker play and then on Sunday we are going to the food festival. I hope they have oysters. hehe.

In our spare time we have been going to a pub quiz with some friends that we made through our roomate. Its really cool because we drink beer but we are actually learning things. hehe. Our team came second last week but we should have come first. Also, I have joined a netball team. I haven't played netball since primary school so I'm not that good but neither is the team. Its good for a laugh and some exercise. Paul is still practising his guitar and Dan our roomate is teaching us. Dan taught Paul how to restring the guitar the other day and he was very pleased when he did it all by himself. haha.

Anyway, you probably figured from the title that it's winter. Its very cold and when we wake up its dark and we come home in the dark. We are keeping warm though. Paul thinks I look like a jawa from star wars because of the big jacket I wear. Its our first winter in London and I think we're going to survive. But please send us some sunshine from home. I hope it SNOWS!!

Lots of Love

Tram and Paul
