    Thank you all! We had lots and lots (and lots) of fun, I was suitably shattered when I got back - 7 hours out and about :j and all with one-to-one nattering :j I'm very happy :j

    We wandered through tourist-type areas, me with my eyes on swivels :p, to a tiny little restaurant and had a tapas-style lunch, which was divine, dear hearts :beer: and they served English breakfast tea as well, my cup runneth over (well, it didn't, thats the whole point, the tea was nicely contained in a very nice mug :D).

    London has changed a bit while I've been away :o OMG has anyone else passed through London Bridge? Underground, it had the feel of an underground car park, and it's been totally opened up - it's not quite as dramatic as Canary Wharf, but not far off, I'm not kidding, it's amazing.

    Today is a rest-and-make-sure-I'm-ok-for-tomorrow day, as I'm off out again for my sister's birthday celebrations :cool: though I may be tempted to tell a few more cherry laurel branches to bog off :D

    And a pootle around the diaries too, of course :j

    Glad you enjoyed it KC. I know what you mean about L Bridge. Cavernous. Westminster station is like that too.

    Thanks Verbatim :) I'll make a pass-around at Westminster next time I'm near - I love that sense of underground space.

    So, dw has been on, and from what I can hear the wm has just finished too. So time to get the clothes out on the line - its sunny :j have a snack, and give the cherry laurel a telling off :D

  • I've been having horrendous laptop issues so have restricted internet use to the absolute essentials for the past few days:eek:


    Just decided to try a scoot around my favourite diaries expecting to see lots of pages to read on this one since I was here last. No sign of KC:eek:


    I hope all is well with you KC:beer:

    :sad: :doh: _pale_

    Hello :)

    As a few folks seem to have guessed, the chronic fatigue nobbled me, and sent me back to bed for a few days. I'm just now up and about enough to sit at the computer desk and pootle very quietly about the interweb ...

    My friend suggested stopping at the halfway mark for similar trips in future, which is a good idea. Need to regain my strength though, and the obligations of the dreaded tax return (dreaded cos of the French "income", which I really made a hash of last year) are on the horizon.

    Slowly slowly does it :)
