Apologies for the lack of blogging lately! Moms and Pops came for a visit, then we moved to a new flat in southeast London, then I went to Cyprus for 9 days! And the internet was just installed in our new flat today so I haven't been connected to the digital world.
Our new flat is really cute! Tiny, but really cute. I love it. It's in a quiet little area and has a front AND rear garden.
Cyprus was amazing! We were there for the European Universities Volleyball Championship - the best university volleyball teams from countries across Europe come together to play. We went representing GB but only had one British person on our team. London is a very international city!
Sadly, us Brits didn't do very well in the tournament but we did have really bad luck with our draw (our first two games were against the Germans and the Russians, both really good teams!) Here are some pictures!
Before the opening ceremony with the men's team from Sheffield.
Again, before the opening ceremony.
With the Russian team and referees after a hard game!
And the best part, the sunshine and the beach!
Apart from the volleyball, we also ate traditional Cypriot food, listened to Greek music, walked through Nicosia to the border to the Turkish part of Cyprus (but didn't cross it) and had a Hen Party (aka bachelorette party) for me and another girl on the team who's getting married!
Pool at the hotel.

Day trip to the beach! Not too shabby :)
Finland v. Serbia
Can't go 9 days without eating pizza! Papa Johns in Cyprus :)
Also, I got a real job! In a nursery that opens in August. I've been hired as a nursery nurse (aka a teacher in a child care centre) but they said I'll grow out of that quickly and move on to doing curriculum development or something like that. Very exciting! I start the 15th of July.
That's all for now! Very excited to have internet again so I can FaceTime with my long lost Momma Bear this evening! WHOOP WHOOP!
