A place to live and some sweet new wheels

Continuing on our previous days of partial successes, we were predominantly successful today with what we hoped to accomplish.

The day started chasing down our housing contact, so we could sign the lease first thing this morning before we had to drive to visit Kristin's coworkers and sign job paperwork.

After a few missed calls, I finally got through and we confirmed we could stop in this morning, so off to the university we go again.  We took a rather nice drive around the campus on our way in.  It's not quite as nice as Western, but it's got that same 100+ year old charm.
We successfully signed the lease, and paid our deposit, so we have a home, at least we will have a home next Tuesday.

Our new address is going to be
Flat 5
New Ashby Court
Loughborough, Leicestershire
United Kingdom
LE11 4EQ

Maybe hold off for a couple of days on sending anything, until we have keys etc, but that's where we plan to be for the next year.

Our minor strike-out today was in getting my student card.  For unexplained reasons, they are not available yet, and won't be till next week, but what's the point of making a fuss of it, I will have to go to campus anyway to get keys for the apartment, so we'll tackle two problems at that time.

Then we were off for a meet and greet of Kristin's co-workers and the corporate staff at the clinics in Leicester (her main clinic) and the head office in Peterborough.
After a bit of paperwork, the fun moment came, when Kris got to take her new swanky Nissan Micra for a spin.  Without a moment's hesitation, we dropped off the the rental car, and on to London we went.  The first drive was a little hairy, navigating all of the roundabouts and traffic, but we've arrived at the home of some of our former airBnB'ers, just on the outskirts of London, and are going to use this as a base for a couple of days of touring into and around London.

Only a couple of memorable photos for today.  Kerry, can you spot anything specific about the car, even though it's only been driven for 2 hours total at this point?

Photos of the outside, with the sweet racing stripes will have to wait until tomorrow.
