The miss list (1)

Things I will miss terribly:

• Snow (yes - I'm un-coordinated and slip everywhere, but it's gorgeous)
• The atmosphere at Christmas (lights, mulled wine, christmas markets)
• Taking the Eurostar every second weekend (or at least having the opportunity to do so)
• Portobello Road
• Koko
• The Florist Arms
• Shoreditch
• Brick Lane markets
• London Fields
• Anonymity
• The tube
• *real* East End Bagels
• My room (for its location, space, and view)
• Automatic tax returns
• Lovely rainy days when you can stay inside and cuddle.
• Eating cupcakes on an autumn day from my room, with the windows open, watching the commoners below.

Things I will not miss much (if at all):

• Londoners (on a bad day)
• Sheer droves of pigeons.
• Nights when it is so unbearably cold you can't sleep despite being in woollen pj's and under two duvets.
• The word 'duvet'.
• 'Planned Engineering Works' on the tube
• Dodgy Landlords (here's to hoping I don't get landed with them in Australa)
• The sun setting at 16:00 in Winter
• Primark
• My room (for the fire, flood, and 24 hour power cut)
• The criminal, criminal amount of fast food. There is a fry-up 'caff' every 20 metres!
• Paying £3 for a small, burnt, weak coffee.

My room is very dark and cold. I have to sleep in two pairs of pants and a beanie and my heater still doesn't work (36 hours now). Grrrrrrump.

I will report more fluidly soon, promise. The Christmas lights are up in Bethnal Green!
