Hi Maria. Is it nice to finally be there though?

I handed my notice in today and my boss who is normally a total w****r was lovely. I explained that I'm still waiting for my interview and that as long as my interview is Nov or Dec I will be flying out 3rd January. He said if mt interview doesn't come through until January then I can stay on a couple more weeks. Which was good news.

Is it lovely and sunny in Long Beach? I'm moving to San Diego so futher down the Coast from you. Keep in touch for how you are keeping yourself busy. Is it warm enough to go to the beach?

Try some of the English pubs. There are a couple here in Orange County owned by the same family. The Olde Ship in Fullerton and Santa Ana are strongly supported by English expats. They have a good selection of beers on tap and the food is very good.

OH yes it's wonderful to finally be here! THe first couple of days I was here was def warm enough to go to the beach, it got a bit cooler but it's still very pleasant. Don't make the mistake I did and bring the wrong clothes!

I think all the Californians think it's cold, they're walking around in jumpers, but coming from england it feels positively tropical! Haha I'm sure i'll get used to it...

Good luck with everything, hope you get your interview soon!
