Unemployment and fitness..

Well I've been back in London town now for more than a week. For the first time in years i did some sort of exercise every working day of the week. Well and truly back into the best sport on this planet. My roommate Chrissy took me along to a 3rd grade game with his adopted club the North London Lions (http://www.aussierules.co.uk/index.php) they mistakenly identified that i had played the game during the warm up and started me on ball. Played through the middle all day and clock up a solid amount of clangers. The cobwebs were just as thick as i thought. Backed it up with both training sessions this week at the wonderful, must visit regents park

and played a little better today finding the ball ok in 2nd grade. Just the kicking that leaves plenty to be desired.
The competition is very interesting with rules that make sure even the 1st grade has so many non-aussies on the ground at any time during the match. The lions are a great club full of great characters and some very handy footy players.

Although im planning on getting a job in the next couple working weeks i must admit unemployment is far better than people suggest. Ive enjoyed that sleep ins and late nights out. The pm scene is great here with some top areas not to far from 'the finch' (East Finchley, my most likely place of abode for 2011). Camden town is a hot spot for both the markets during the day and cool clubs come night. Some aussie and kiwi mates ive made that live close by work at a run of the mill city corner pub called 'The flying horse'.

We have kicked off our last 3 Friday nights here and had a ball! The girls no how to get a fun atmosphere cranking whether it be table dancing, getting piggyback rides from the seedy working class or walking to their neighboring competition and poaching customers.

All in all, life is a little to easy as you can see. Time to knuckle down and get back to the slog. MAH
