Whoo I can update.
COLD WIND RAIN COLD COLD WET COLD COLD WIND COLD RAIN!!! I have a scarf and gloves and I actually NEED them to stop from getting FROSTBITE. It's a new experience. And now that we have a bank account we can set up a internet thingie for mum's laptop. They won't even talk to you unless you have a UK bank account. But now we have, so we have the net. Yay!
We're looking at houses, like this one that costs, like, three-and-a-half grand a month to rent, with six bedrooms and a study and a gameroom and a BREAKFAST ROOM, and one of the bathrooms has a bidet or however you spell it. I'm intimidated by this house.
We've been to three different motels. The first one had three different rooms in three different buildings and you could'nt live in the room with your suitcase and still be able to walk around, so we went to a second one which was beautiful. I want my real house to be like that motel, except with another bedroom. And it was on the ground floor, so we didn't have to lug our suitcases up a flight of stairs. But it was a bugger for Dad to get to work, so now we're in this new motel which is slightly smaller and we had to lug our suitcases up TWO flights of stairs. It's just a short walk away from the train station/shops/LIBRARY YAY.
So we're hoping to move to Gerrards Cross which according to the taxi driver is the Beverly Hills of England where all the rich and snooty live. Hence the three storey six bedroom half-an-acre grounds houses available for rent there.
OMG Aladdin is showing as a play type thing in the West End, and it's sort of Aladdin-gone-drag-and-on-a-time-machine-to-the-20th-century. AND SIR IAN McKELLEN IS IN IT!!! IWANNAGOIWANNAGOIWANNAGO!!! SQUEEEEEE!!!
We still need to pick out a school but I suppose we'd better find out what suburb we're living in first. I think they start school at nine thirty or so over here, because we were driving around at nine oclock and a bunch of kids were walking along with backpacks. That seems late.
The Two Towers was on cable a couple of days after we arrived at 8 at night, and we were still getting over the jet lag thing, but I stayed up and watched all of it. I feel proud.
Also, guess who's providing the movement for the motion-capture stage in Peter Jackson's King Kong? That's right, our old friend Andy. Yay for you.
Well I only have three minutes left, so I'll wrap up now. See you all later!

Sweet. Have you used the Undergroud yet? Have you ridden in one of those cool black taxis? Have you eaten kippers yet? How about bangers? Have you seen the touristy things yet? Been to the Tower of London? Seen Anne Boleyn's grave? Visited Greenwich Palace? Paid homage at Tolkien's house (admittedly this one isn't in London...)?
Cor, I wish I was in England. *cries*

We've used the underground a couple of times, but not the cool black taxis. I will never eat kippers. Bangers are just sausages and we have those every other weekend for lunch. Tower of london no, Big Ben from a distance, giant eye seen but not ridden on, haven't been to Tolkien's grave yet, and have never heard of Anne Boleyn or Greenwich Palace.
The sad thing is we're living right next to Kew Gardens and have not yet visited it.

Numenorians? They were a bunch of humans who lived on an island called Numenor as a reward from the Valar... er... gods, for helping get rid of Melkor(Sauron's boss). They were all good guys for a while and didn't listen to Sauron who hung around whining "OMG I'm so sorry I was evil and have totally seen the error of my ways and am no longer a power-hungry ego-tripping pain in the butt" until the Numenorian kings started getting uppity, and because Sauron was all ass-kissing they welcomed him back, and eventually he was all like "hey, you should sail to Valinor and wage war on the Valar and force them to give you imortallity like the Elves." And the king was like "dahh... mkay... i like cheese" But Elendil and Isildur and a bunch of other human said "This guy's a moron" and sailed off to middle earth in three boats while the rest of the Numenorians went to wage war on the Valar. Clever, clever humans. Then visualise Atlantis. Fire raining from the skies, island swallowed by sea, etc. And Elendil's boats came to middle earth, and there was that song thingie that Aragorn sings in the third movie; remember that? that's the significance of it, you see. And Gil Galad the king of the elves welcomed them, and all was good until sauron turned up again... somehow... and... Well, you know the rest.

YOU DON'T KNOW WHO ANNE BOLEYN IS?! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?! GAH!
I can't belive you haven't heard of Greenwich, either. Where do you think the name "Greenwich Mean Time" comes from?
...No kippers, either?

Don't forget the human sacrifice on Melkor's alter. Naughty, naughty Ar-Pharazon.

Yeah, I know of Greenwich, I just didn't know there was a PALACE there. Who is Anne Boleyn, then?

Yes, there is a palace at Greenwich. Henry VIII was born there, I believe, as was Mary I and Elizabeth I. Anne Boleyn was the 2nd of Henry VIII's six wives and the mother of Elizabeth I.

Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! "Let them eat cake"? Was that her?

Er...no. That was Marie Antoinette, Queen of France about 200 years after Anne Boleyn. While Anne Boleyn also got her head cut off, the deed was done by a French swordsman and not the Guillotine.

Right. I never did history of anything other than the ancient Romans and the settlement of Australia.
