September

September wasn't the best month for work. I had wanted to start Japanese lessons and arranged my schedule accordingly. However, there were not enough students signed up for the night I wanted, the class was cancelled and I was stuck with the not so great flying schedule. There were a few redeeming factors: I climbed Signal Hill in St John's; I went to Victoria, BC for the first time on a beautiful sunny afternoon; I was able to go for dinner and drinks (and more drinks) with Kat in Van city and I had dinner with an old friend while in London.


I sent my friend Katherine an email to see if she would be able to meet me while I was in London. She is living in London, and working as a playwright (she had just signed herself an agent!) and as luck would have it her apartment is quite close to my hotel. I had not seen Katherine since she left Osaka, so it was nice to hear back from her, inviting me for dinner. She told me of a great place to go for a walk in the morning, just follow the canal near my hotel and it will lead me to Camden Lock, a huge outdoor market area....and it did! It was such a lovely morning, and I didn't have to leave for my flight for a few hours, so I walked along the canal until I hit the market.
