London and Surrounds

📌 We returned from Italy and had to part ways as Chloe was heading to Bristol and I was working around London. My first week was a fill in the gaps week at a Medivet in Sidcup (East London), I was staying with a nice but awkward F1 software engineer, so it basically felt like I had the house as he was never around. The work was easy and it was a nice transition back into the next period of work. One standout experience was heading to the local gym, this area was kind of rough, and the gym was unique, I can imagine a gym in the 80s would have looked like this. It felt like a set from Rocky with the boxing ring and the atmosphere, everyone was lovely however and it had very local and family vibes.

📌 Chloe was back in ICU in Bristol and this would likely be her last stint of work in the UK, carrying her through to October. Her accommodation was pretty chill but she was annoyed by her non-human housemates which included many little spiders coming through the cat flap and also the cat itself who was very needy ☺️

📌 I filled the rest of the couple of weeks in the south at a clinic near windsor. I lived upstairs, went to the gym and had a pretty chilled few weeks. One weekend Chloe had off, we headed into London on a mini pub crawl. We started with a visit to Windsor, the castle and surrounds for a coffee. We then headed into more central London where we visited Richmond for a light lunch, a couple of pints and a bit of a wander. We ended the night on London with dumplings around convent garden which were delicious before heading to stand up from Nazeem in Soho. The pub crawl finished with a few pints of Guinness at a great pub around Soho.もっと詳しく
