Location: Hammersmith, London, England

Hi all,

Well looking at the last entry, I have been pretty slack with updating this haven't I? That is because now we are both working life is just so busy! We're both enjoying our work but I find not finishing til 6, getting home around 7 then cooking dinner etc doesn't leave much time for anything else. Anyway, it's all good, we're still enjoying ourselves here.

We moved into our flat last weekend and it's great! It's such a nice place and so good to have our own room and bed etc. We've spent most of the week just getting settled in and taking it easy. It's a public holiday today so we're lucky enough to be having a 3 day weekend. Went to the IRB sevens yesterday at Twickenham. It was exciting enough just to be at Twickenham and even better to be at the Sevens and for NZ to win!! There were so many kiwis there it was unbelievable. Danny bumped into about 4 different people he knew from home which was cool.
It's no where near as wild as the Wellington sevens though. There was definitely drinking and singing and yelling etc but people don't really get dressed up like they do in Wellington and I'm sure the level of drunkenness wasn't quite as bad either.
Unfortunately it was a wet and cold day which only really got to us near the end when we started to get a bot cold. All in all a great day though. And tickets were only £7!!!

Had a good night out in Putney on Friday too. We had to go the Walkabout with Jo and Greg to get our Sevens tickets so had a few drinks there, then went on to Wagamama for dinner and then back to a lounge bar and the Walkabout for a few more drinks. I was ashamed to say I was hanging out at the 'Walkie' but it was actually a lot of fun, especially when they started playing awesome 80's music! So Saturday was a quiet day as we were all feeling a little hung over.

Not much else to tell I'm afraid. Mum has sent over our Lonely Planet books so we are going to start researching and start planning some trips.
We've ordered a laptop which should arrive on Wednesday and our internet should be going at the flat any day this week so I will put up the rest of the Thailand photos and pics of our flat as soon as we are all wired up.

Would be great to hear from you all!

Lots of love from us.
