I can't believe I'm looking forward to routine...

...it's true! Me, the girl who hates routine! But I think it will help me get more settled.

So, here are the pictures of my flat that I promised. I was having trouble putting them in the blog, so I just created some photo albums.

The office is coming along. I went in to work on Saturday morning for a while. They were putting the server in. Pictures of the office are here.

Since I'm going to be talking about the guys I'm working with, I should give you a breif glossary on who's who.

Kevin Watts - President & C.E.O.
Mark Bilsland - Chief Financial Officer
TomMackay - Vice-President, Technical
Will Nott - Kevin's research assistant
Jon Ford - Exploration Manager
Ron Winwood - IT Guy

We will be hiring a couple more people in the next few months as well.

Another person that I will be talking about is Jane Stevenson. She is the Personal Assistant to Sir Graham Hearne, our Chairman, and a good friend who lives in my neighbourhood. She has been helping me with stuff and making sure I'm ok. She's been brilliant and I'm so glad I have her here.

I went to the British Museum yesterday. What a gem!! It's completely free and there are amazing things there! I saw the Rosetta Stone, which was the key to cracking the Egyptian heiroglyphics. It was so cool to see a piece of history like that. And there were the Eglin Marbles, which are pieces of the Parthenon. It was very, very cool. I only managed to get to see about a quarter of it, so I plan to make many trips back. Pcitures are here.

One thing I've noticed is that everyone here is very much an individual. People wear anything and act any way and no one really notices. In Calgary, people notice someone looking different. Here they just blend in with everyone else that looks different. In a way, it's very freeing, but in another way it's sad that it is so hard to be noticed.

So I cleaned up my flat today. It's so small it only took a couple of hours. One nice thing about a small flat!

It's raining and cold today, so I'm staying in and watching movies. Ciao for naio!!
