One of the great things about England is their buildings. The architecture is very different than at home - everything seems old and looks like it has some kind of a history. But walking down Kingston Road today I noticed that a lot of the houses have bright coloured doors. The house will be a reddish brick colour, and will have a bright green or blue or red door. My favourite is a cream coloured house with a bright red door. I took a picture of it on my phone.

Today it didn't rain. The weather here is really not as bad as they say it is. When it's been grey or rainy it hasn't poured, it's only drizzled. However I do need to get used to bringing an umbrella with me everywhere, because the weather changes within a matter of minutes.

I also need to stop converting things to Canadian in my head, especially with food. I spent £11.70 on lunch today, which I think is the price of a nice lunch, but into Canadian it's about $23.00. Way too much to spend, even if the portion was huge. For anyone that's interested it was a cajun chicken salad.

And Chris is back. Must go now.
