London is a sauna!

 
Ok so I don't know what the deal is, but London has been in the 80s every day this week! What is up with that? Isn't it supposed to be cold and rainy? I'm not complaining except for the fact that I've resorted to wearing gym clothes everywhere because I did not pack normal summer clothing. Oh well. Since Matt had the day off yesterday we decided to spend most of the day at Regent's Park. We were cheesy romantic and rented a paddle boat where I stupidly allowed Matt to steer. We basically spent the half hour chasing ducks, geese and swans around the pond. He also paddled into low hanging branches that made perfect contact with my face. Awesome. After eating our packed lunch, we got ice cream and chilled out in the gardens of Regent's Park. It was such a relaxing day!

When we got back Matt made my favorite dish of his: Chicken Risotto. I never had risotto before he made me his specialty dish. He makes it with chicken stock, white wine, chicken, bacon, leeks and onions. We had it with garlic bread and feasted! I can honestly say his risotto is the best! I'm pretty sure nothing can compare! The picture doesn't do it justice because risotto will always be a mushy glob. If only I could give you a taste through this blog you would know! Ignore the picture's presentation as well...nothing special.

Ah today I finally set up a UK bank account. I've been putting it off but I finally did it. Awesome...a place where I can keep all the money I don't have. Super! And finally, tonight I start my first shift as bartender at the 5-aside football complex where Matt is Asst. Manager. Yes, Matt is going to be my boss. I'll let you know how long it takes before he fires me. The complex is called Power League Wembley. Tonight we are hosting a 24th birthday party at the bar with a DJ. I hope they are easy on me! :/ Wish me luck!
