It's a big deal to say that I now look to the right FIRST when crossing the road. I'm actually nervous about an upcoming visit to America (that's how the Brits/Europeans say it, I'm from America. Not 'The States' or 'the U.S.') where I may not automatically revert to the roads. It's probably fine but I am overly worried about it. 

Red letter day: 26 January 2015 I used 'cheers' as a true reaction to the man who came to read our meter. I was giddy that it came out of my mouth naturally and not ironically at all. Cheers usually means thank you but with a sort of soft, informal tone. Almost a parting 'ok, bye, thanks' but sounds so much better. I love this word. It can also be used with insane amounts of sarcasm but I'm nowhere near that yet. It is fascinating that Brits can insult/judge and it can take hours to realise it. Yowza. 

Anyway, here's what we've been up to. These pictures are from back when Taylor could hang out with me. Mid-December meant his office basically cleared out. A lull in the regular, crazy hours he usually works meant I could drag him all around town to the many Christmas activities. 

All of Santa's reindeer, the sleight and Santa made of Legos hung out at Covent Garden. 

Giant decor, a Covent Garden signature. 

Ran into the Southbank Winter Festival. The smells were amazing. German markets are my new favourite thing about Christmas.
