more posting... more of Dagenham

The past two weeks have been pretty interesting. I've had to deal with a lot of behaviour problems and fights and I am pretty tired. I am trying to recover from my Paris diet... it will be slow going I think. You see, when you walk around a city in the cold damp weather of late Autumn you get very very hungry and hence you eat a lot. When you get home and continue to eat a lot when you're not walking quite so much, you begin to gain weight... which is not good. It would be easier to lose weight if there was easier access to more fruit and vegetables... England survives on potatoes, rice and curry, and pasta. Sad to say, but I have been converted to jacket potatoes (baked) with spaghetti-o's and shredded cheese (sounds gross, but actually good). I still am obsessed with Salad... but it's incredibly hard to find good salad dressing around here as well. Not even the staples like french or caesar are the same. I don't mean to complain, but it does make it difficult.

I joined Christmas choir at school and church and am busy learning descants and harmonies. We start performing for the carol services in a few weeks. It should be great fun.

Money has been a bit slow lately, so I've been living off of reduced money. I can't wait till they get my tax sorted and I get a several thousand pound refund. That will be bloody brilliant.

Other than that there really isn't much to post. The weather is getting drearier and colder and I'm getting tireder (more tired) and trying to stay rested. THat's the way of winter... so what else is new?

Anyway, Cheers!
