Week 75 in London

Week 75: 5 – 11 September

Back in May when we visited Istanbul, we picked up a charming Turkish lamp. The problem we faced was that the lamp is fitted with a European plug, our flat has the different UK sockets, and we also want to be able to use it back in Australia. We were finally able to find a solution and three and a bit months since having purchased it, our lamp shined for the first time!

Stacey received her slightly belated birthday present on Thursday. The same day marked our 18 month anniversary since having compressed all of our belongings into some suitcases and departing Australia.

On Saturday we tried something different to the usual lazy weekend, rose earlier than usual and went for a 5 kilometre run around Clapham Common. 

Roslyn went to the movies later in the afternoon to watch Bad Moms, with Jasmine who we had met through Shaun at the Jack the Ripper tour.

We went for another jog on Sunday morning, and significantly improved our average time. Later on we went for lunch at Franco Manco down Northcote Road, then sat up in Clapham Common in the sun for the afternoon.

Highlights for the week:
- Finally able to use our Turkish lamp

- Saturday morning 5km run

- Roslyn went to the movies to see Bad Moms

- Another 5km run on Sunday morning

- Lunch at Franco Manca
- Sat up in the common
