It's better than a cop on a segway!

Saw this yesterday and laughed.

This is just outside the windows in the apartment.  I guess they come by every day.

London Accommodations are tiny!


Alright, it has taken way too long to get this first official "I am in London" blog out.  I am apparently illiterate with putting video on the blog but here are some pictures that will help explain what London living is all about.  It also will how the priority level of finding a house to live in by the end of summer.

The Hall of doors (5 to be exact) from the front door (so I guess there are 6 in total).

 
This hall also serves as the shoe closet.

The bedroom (notice there is no picture of the closet; its tiny and messy).

The bathroom (that little string on the right is the light switch).  To turn the shower on, you need to turn on the faucet first and have it running, then turn the shower on. Very strange.

The kitchen (that is a washer/dryer combination). 

The kitchen. The fridge is to the left.  To open it, you need to shut the kitchen door.  Only one can be open at once.  

Entrance to the "great room."

The view from the "great room."

The dining area (aka computer central).

No more pencils, no more books, no more students dirty looks!

What an end to a wonderful school year.  No tests.  A flooded city. A couple days of evacuation. Now the adventures begin!  I am off to BC for the long weekend to move/build a boat dock. Then I leave in less than a week to visit London.

In the meantime, here are some pictures of the flooding behind my house:

This is the end of a bridge.

A road that leads to Fish Creek parking lot.

This used to be a picnic area with a lovely paved path going down the hill.

Bent trees.

A picnic table did survive!

A walking path.  The flattened grass is where the river reached.

The bridge to Douglasdale.

The river overflowing the banks and covering a shale pathway.
