We might have a house!

Great day today. First, we enjoyed teasing each other at work about pronunciation of words. Garage still stands as my favorite, but aluminum is now a close second. Its pronounced "al-uh-meen-ee-um" or something to that effect, love it. Brits get quite a laugh when I say "premiere" ie prah-meer, I think its supposed to be prem-ee-ur.

I've been working with someone who has a deep Irish accent. As much as I love the British accent, there's something pretty amazing about the Irish accent.

At night, I was really lucky to get some great time with Euan Semple. He's another KM pro that I look up to. We had a coffee and then walked around London. We chatted about our work, the potential future of organizations and good ol London history. Such a great time.

Picked up my first dry cleaning today, £13 for one suit, ouch! Gas hasn't been as expensive as people thought. Food has been tremendously better than expected, but dry cleaning comes at a steep price!

Another little surprise that I don't think I've mentioned is that water is scalding hot here. Everywhere I go its easy to burn a finger or a tongue on hot water... guess I'll build up a tolerance because I had the best hot chocolate I've ever had today (Royal Festival Hall), even better than a freezing Friday night high school football game.

And yes, the big news of the day is that we might have a house! Its in negotiations now, but we selected one and let's hope it works out. It's been quite a process to get to this point, so its really exciting.
