Friday, 30 September:

We looked around for a place again today. And decided on the place in the Princess Ct. We went in today and put down a deposit on the place. They gave us reference paperwork to fill out, but we won't pass as we don't have jobs, yet. However, because we are willing to put down three months rent in advance plus a six week deposit, the landlord will approve us. Better find work quick, because that is a seriously unplanned drain on our savings.

Took a trip down to Hammersmith to check out the Manpower office. Ok, talk about not very helpful. This is supposed to be the largest temp agency in the UK? I wonder how they got that way. Apparently they have no interest in people with degrees, as once I mentioned that we were both educated, the guy said to just email our CVs to an email address on a business card and they would get back to us. Strange, I haven't run into the brush off for being over qualified before.

We went out for our first Indian food tonight. This I am going to get used to. It is hard to find good Indian in San Diego, especially for a decent price. Here, however, you just have to be able to walk outside and you will find good Indian somewhere. My lamb vindaloo was wonderful, the nan wasn't great, but not bad. Suzanne really enjoyed her chicken curry but couldn't finish it, so we have leftovers.
