We got the last of our housemates moved in, in October… Two females moved into the flat at the back side of the building… They are friends and their room is an actual two room flat, all inclusive with bathrooms, and a proper kitchen… Their names are Shenade and Leanne, they settled right in and began the ritual drinking gatherings that had become common place for the last couple months…
Fortunately before October ended everyone had settles to hosting parties in their own spaces, or headed out on the town… It got much colder in October and thereby much colder where there is no heat within our massive building… So our rooms are much more comfy for hanging out…
I also had the incredible opportunity to host Joshua James and his band… We had Joshua, Evan, Issac, Scott, and Ryan stop over for a couple nights… http://www.facebook.com/joshuajamesband?ref=ts&fref=ts … It was so amazing to have them visit, I cannot express how much I have missed being able to just chatter on about what ever, without having to stop and enunciate and in turn translate my English to British English… I was so happy to be able to talk to people who came from my neck of the woods… These poor guys came straight from London to my place and were completely knackered and I just wanted to chatter on… Anyway we got them all settled, and the next day I was able to briefly show them Darlington, before they headed off to play their concert… Their concert ended up being on the same night as Tom’s birthday, how fun is that??? So my friend Paul, Tom, Karma, and I all went to the concert which was sooooo amazing!!! This band plays from a place of heart connection, a true gift… We had a great time, and then went back to hang out in our humongous house… We were joined by another performer from that night a lady named Pip… The night turned into day, and then they were off to Scotland for their next concert… I am so excited to see where they go from here… How lucky we all were to have them come to visit… I hope to see them when I get back to the states… May all your dreams come true… Thank you so much for being you…
