Galewolf posted:Bring Tuna with you, too I've weathered the NYC subway, the tube is practically a beautiful dream. Sans air conditioning. I don't know I could ever live with roommates ever again so I absolutely cannot afford London rental prices that's for sure. Extra pros: - A chance at a semblance of a social life if I don't accidentally hermit myself, less likely as most of my hermiting is a result of living in bumfuck nowhere but still on the cards as I'm awkward - A chance at actually finding a thriving artist network and having actual loving art friends in the same area as me - A chance to swipe right on someone who isn't a Polish builder or a British truck driver with zero in common with me e: Oh. Page snipe. What a surprise.

London good, Tuna good. Today -probably- a private agency contractor for the gubmint called in to check if our "vulnerable status" is still going and we explained that chronic asthma is pretty permanent. Unrelated but does anyone remember Covid 19?

Jose posted:london sucks move up north For me: I'm pretty flexible in terms of work, as long as I get enough contracts so it's not entirely impossible for me to move to the North, maybe for 6 months or a year. London is pretty swell but I feel like Manchester or Liverpool might also be my kinda jam. The thing is, my clients and my partner/employer calling me for London based clients kinda force me to stay around here. Maybe I'll take a break if things get normal and do a month-long North backpacking/caravan tour, who knows?

Really, I should learn to drive. I learned in NJ but my license didn't carry over so I have to start again and I just haven't done it yet. This year was supposed to be the year that happened. It would open up a lot more of the surrounding areas to me if I did.

Just heard the dog barking manically in the garden, and it had hold of a bloody hedgehog. The dog's face was covered in blood, but after moving the hedgehog I couldn't spot any visible wounds on it (obviously difficult because it was curled up into a tight ball) so I've put it in a box in the garage with a towel and some water. Hopefully it's just shaken up and not badly hurt

Hopefully it's just shaken up and not badly hurt If it seems ok this morning, put it back out along with a bowl of wet dog or cat food. If it still seems miserable, put that food in the box, put some.leaves and twigs in there and Google your area for a local hedgehog sanctuary, if not then call the vet. Also, I hope.dog is ok.

I had a wonderful walk by the lake in the park, had a great cooked breakfast and saw a mail from my accountant about how she finished my taxes  Can I use the "I'm a taxpayer, you can't treat me like this!" line in the movies now or it's just for Murica?

Strange, our village went mad for swapping free poo poo while lockdown was in place, I got rid of loads of crap cluttering up the garage and garden that I was just going to take to the tip. It's quietened down now people are working again.

Gubmint starting to do rounds and asking people if we still retain vulnerable status was a bit of an eye-opener for me about how things are going regardless of pandemic levels. Get back to work, serfs!

I'm only maybe 4 miles from a decent sized town with all the shops, the house itself is on a small quiet little estate away up a country lane and it has been fantastic. Even though it's not quite middle of nowhere it's still really peaceful and I'd not go back to town living if I could help it.

Much Much cheaper than London, big enough to find whatever community you're interested in getting involved with, good countryside access (Sheffield and the eastern suburbs of Manchester especially) That's less true than it used to be, having lived in both, though I did like Manchester as a place to live. Conversely though, Manchester isn't a jobs desert in my field, but there's more going on in London, inevitably given the difference in size between the two. And London's public transport points at Manchester's tram network and laughs.

London might be terrible in some critical ways but by god, it's an amazing place to live if you love...everything. The choice between commute vs. exceptionally high rent is not an easy one to make and sometimes situation forces you but when it works, it works brilliantly. If you have a broad range of interests, the city really opens up in terms of art, cuisine, entertainment, and socializing. I have never felt this alive in anywhere else, even as a tourist, so I might be a little bit biased. My benchmark of "making it in London" is being able to do my whole grocery shopping from Borough Market because holy gently caress that place is expensive.
