Christmas is coming

sorry for the delay had internet trouble:

I cannot believe it is one month until Christmas as summer seemed just a few weeks ago. I am trying to think what I would be doing if I was back in Toronto and I really am not sure. Back at Canadian Tire? Working on a new movie? Who knows all I know is I cannot dwell on what ifs because it could drive anyone crazy. I still love London and I am still making new friends here, something I would not do in Toronto. There is something about being on your own that forces you to change, forces you to meet people and I am thankful that I had been given this opportunity to go and be different.

On to more news worthy events – there was a stabbing at Café Nero, less then a block away from my work. Walking to work that morning the coffee shop I go to every day was sealed off by police, forensics were taking samples from the street and I had no idea what went down. My boss heard a few stories from people around (it is a very gossipy neighbourhood ). Apparently it was an American who came home in the early hours and a angry neighbour stabbed him repeatedly. So insane. It got me thinking what I would do if I witnessed such a thing (if it happened a few hours later I would have). I guess you never know what you will be like in a situation until you are in it.

My friend Ryan and I went out of the city to Hampton Court where King Henry VIII had once lived. It was a really interesting building and the outside grounds were beautiful full on with swans in the fountains. It was not so grand a castle though it seemed smaller and the rooms were very stark. I would not want to live there (I mean if I had an option to of course).

Hey anyways I met an Armenian! I was at my friend Chris’ house where he was having people over for his birthday and I met his friend Todd an Iranian Armenian. I found this out randomly when I asked him about his crucifix necklace. He said there was a ton of Armenians in London and also that he had been to Armenia. I told him my sister and I were planning a trip next summer and he said it was brilliant, the people were great and it had beautiful countryside. It was cool meeting him.

Three weeks till I go home! I am in town only for a few weeks so I will try to see everyone and catch up with what people have been doing! See you soon!
