Hilary Clinton is not long for this world!! This is a picture of her in better health. Poor Hilary has been sleeping more and more these days but this morning I peeled back her nest and she could barely look up. I initially thought she was already gone so Taylor and Woody brought the box for the new TV remote upstairs for her removal. We were going to scoop her into it but then she stirred. Thank god for that! But she is about 2 and half and doesn't have much life left in her. She doesn't even enjoy using the new hamster ball I got her. She mainly just sits there. Gone are the days when she would scale the bars and chew them throughout the night. She fell asleep with food still stored in her cheek the other day. I will keep you all posted but it doesn't look good.

The Move
I live in a new house up in Stanmore now. Today's photos are all of my new area. It is very close to my work so I no longer have to have a travel card which is a major savings. My first new flatmate moved in last night unannounced which scared me. He's alright though. He has been sociable and reasonably normal. He had just broken up with his girlfriend on the train before I got there which resulted in a 30 minute swearing shouting match ending in "You're dead to me!". I was a bit alarmed but things seemed to settle down after that.

Work
Work is the same as always. I have just started up the choir again as a performing arts group. We are doing our first concert as a Gospel Choir which has been really good fun. It is weird to have a gospel choir made up primarily or Indian and Srilankan children but they are doing a great job. Next week is Science Week. It is the first time for us to put one an and I think it is going to be fairly crap. The kids do an experiment on the first day and then spend the rest of the week writing up the experiment. This is in place of Creative Arts week which all the children love. We made a different craft or art project everyday which is obviously a lot better.
Mel
In other sad news, Mel Klie is leaving next week. I don't want her to go but it is the sensible thing to do. We are going out tonight for a bit of fun before serious packing has to start taking place. She is the last of my Canadian friends here, so it is a bit rough.

I am off to Rome for half term break which should be great. Will post pictures which I return. Hopefully of me and the Pope!
