I HAVE DONE IT. Instructions on how to take a shower. 1. Turn on sink tap with red "H" 2. Turn on shower tap with red "H" 3. Turn on shower tap with blue "C" until the water stops boiling 4. Check back in five minutes to make sure the water hasn't started boiling again 5. Lather, rinse, repeat. The key is to divert as much of the boiling water as possible to the sink. Why didn't I think of this before. This makes four successful showers that I've had now. They rest have been disasters.

Also, rode bus (do NOT talk to me about tube strike. easily walked over two miles to work this morning. grr.) with Leo the Venezualen DJ/Graphic Artist Roommate. We have come to the unanimous decision that Dame Edna (Ashley, really) is a raving loon. He is going to teach me spanish. HAHAHA I had to ask him where exactly Venezuala is and I had to resort to my limited spanish. Donde esta el Venezuala? Didn't think he was going to stop laughing but there you go. I am a spanish conversationalist now.

Yay for Lauren's job. We are now safely within the realm of the British Working Force. Oh, Bless them. On channel 5 Sunday night there is going to be a show devoted to the bizarre creature that is Michael Jackson's face. Am going to take pictures of the advertisements on the streets. They're hilarious. PAYDAY. Bye!
