LONDON
Heya and a big hi from London! Heheheh - Im here!
I arrived Thursday nite and am finally recoverin from the jet lag and just from the last couple of months I guess! It's been so hard to keep my eyes open after 6pm!!! but Ive managed not to have nana naps the last two days! Sun nite I went Salsa dancing which helped!
My first morn here was grey and looked dreary as but a little squirrel smiled at me from out my window and made me realise evrything was gona be okay. We had a sunny weekend which was glorious but it is freezing!
After walking aimlessly for an hour or so, I ended up at Dahleen's work, had coffee then caught a bus to town and had a blast!
I saw the horse guards, huge old buildings, came face to face with Big Ben (I actually had no idea where I was at this point but everything looked cool and old and huge so i had just kept walking - again). I then saw Westminster Abby - will go look inside another day- and then got a call from another agency where we set up a meeting for tomorrow - they said they had a few jobs that might suit me which would be cool. I then walked back up the street only to see the horsemen move and a handful of soldiers march out for inspection - very surreal - but very cool. The sun was getting lower (4pm!!!!) so I begun my journey up this street - one that I had stumbled upon and I think it was parliment square? and there were gates with security and policeman everywhere, followed by escorted cars leave secret looking gated roads. I guess when i read my London books /maps later I will discover exactly where I have been! Hehehehehe. Oh, I then looked up to see Trafalgar Square (yes Miss, I cant spell Miss, and Im trying to go fast so Im not gona check Miss,.. hehehehe). Giant sculptures and fountains galore and .... pigeons!!! A kind man gave me some seed and I became... Bird Woman!!! Covered from head to toe!!!! Hehehehe... At this point I was kindly interrupted by a call from Dodgy! Yay! She#'s comin to London on Sat and it will be great to catch up with her again.
Well Id beta run..
