Arriving

Three hours in Sea-Tac, nine hours on an airplane, three films (A Dangerous Method, My Week With Marilyn, and Tinker Tailor Solider Spy), border control, a very long ride on the Underground (the entire Piccadilly line), no sleep, and I am here. London.

Everything went quite smoothly. No delayed flights, nothing lost (and that includes myself), no problems. Also, the weather was gorgeous today. A rather exceptional beginning.

My final destination: Cockfosters, end of Piccadilly Line

Attempting to stay awake as long as I possibly can. Already had two cups of tea, and biscuits. My homestay is absolutely lovely. Quite perfect, really. The most charming house with a crazy staircase and very friendly cat named Bubbles. Suzan and Esme are wonderful.

I reside at the top of a winding narrow staircase on the third floor:

All unpacked and settled in now. Here's my lovely room and the view outside my window:

Dinner's in a few. Listening to the sound of cooking and Esme doing her homework.
