Rain, Rain, Go Away

I'm currently sitting at my desk in my flat watching the rain outside as it refuses to stop falling. I've been doing this all day, planning an outing for when it clears. However I think soon the rain might win and I'll have to suck it up and go out in my "slicker" because: I'm hungry.

Dang it England! The heat in my apartment has not been fixed yet and therefore neither has the hot water. I literally watched the maintenance man from my window walk up to our apartment and ring the bell. By the time I walked down to the ground floor to let him in, he had walked away. Either maintenance has no patience, or I'm dealing with a disappearing wizard. Anyway, Adrie, Cam, and Olivia have been generous in letting us use their hot water shower.

So now I sit in my heatless apartment, bundled in a blanket, with wool socks on, looking at the rain, and trying to decide if walking to the store for food is worth it, or if this orange on my desk will suffice for a while. Lost on struggle street!! I've cleaned my room, have clothes in the wash, and almost finished a blog post. Maybe I'll even begin researching for my intro course paper. (In the time it took to finish the last two sentences the orange on my desk has been consumed!)

To lighten the mood, here is a video I took in the Globe Theatre of the musicians before the play began (and before the old man who manned the door came up saying, "No photography inside while there are players on the stage, mam!" To which I say, "MUA HA HA!")
