Well now i have a sim card for my phone, You should be able to reach me on +44 7511235580. My attempts to be able to roam with my Australian number were yet again a complete failure. Mostly because I was far too late to get the number transferred back into my name from the company.
Nothing too exciting has happened since my last post, I went back to my hostel and in my 2 hours absence the room had fulled up. As part of the 'it's a small world syndrome', 3 of my new roommates went to the same high school as I did. As part of the 'it turns out I'm really old now' disease they only started after I'd already left. With my new number in hand I contacted some of the friends I had here. Turned out there was a bbq on at a friend of a friend's house. A few tube rides and 35 mins later and I was surrounded by kiwis sitting round a small smouldering charcoal bbq.
Around 11pm I finally started to crash, the being up for 19 hours straight was started to affect me, between that and the trains closing up around midnight I set off back to the hostel. I was lucky i didn't leave any later and also that hammersmith is an end of line stop for the line i was on.
I had a quick look for the other roommates in the bar thinking one last drink might be nice. We'd had a bet that the 18-19 year old kiwis would be out late and making a bunch of noise as they came in. It turned out to be the opposite as when I got into the room at midnight they were sound asleep.
I slept soundly till being awoken at 5am by my fellow ex-HHSers getting up to checkout, but managed to get to sleep again despite it being very light outside until the more reasonable 8:30.
I'm a total convert to the breakfast being the most important meal of the day idea now. I can see the real value in a meal that is all you can eat and provided free by the hostel. Lunch and dinner just can't compete with such an offer, not when the currency is pounds anyway.
Not really sure what's on the cards for today. I have to check into my new hostel at some point in bayswater.
