G'day G'day, James and I again spent most of last night cleaning. But I must say, the flat is now infinitely more livable than it used to be. We've done a little bit of cooking in the closet kitchen, but now that it's cleaned up we can get on the ball and make some real meals. James and I were thinking of perhaps some pasta tonight. I'm planning on sometime soon utilizing a recipe I learned recently involving mushrooms.

Otherwise, James and I have started doing the major planning for our mainland Europe romp, it'll either start very soon, or not until next month. It depends on the job situation, most places thus far have refused to accept temporary employment (even 10 weeks isn't long enough). So if the jobs are going to be jerks, we'll just take off sooner rather than later. We're considering hitting the trail in a fashion that could be described as nothing other than off the beaten path - purchasing a pair of bikes and biking the majority of the continent. The great thing about Europe is that it's so bloody small. Five weeks (that's the time allotment we've set aside for the romp) and a couple well placed flights will provide us with more than enough time to see the places we want to see, spend some time there, and deal with blistered asses ;).

Anyhow, research continues...
