London reprise

In London ensconced at the hotel in the Docklands. Seems we've gone from Coro St to Eastenders! A glorious sunny day here with the promise of 23 degrees tomorrow for the London marathon (all of us have been in training for it of course - that's secretly why I'm here *snort*)

We're at a cyber caf in Beckton having just bought some necessaries and some microwavable dinners as our room has only a microwave - where is Tom when the Cook needs him? ;-)

We plan to do a bit of site seeing in amongst the final 'work' stuff. Hope to get to the British Museum. The OC has developed a real interest in historical artifacts so where better but the repository of some of the best looting an empire can do.


We're having a bit of a rest day today - it's a bit too hot to just walk aimlessly around and London is an expensive place to do things on an urge.

Talking of urges - we managed to spend some money in Rotterdam. We all went shoe shopping and it was a spirited affair. The OC and I were going neck and neck and we've called it a draw. I may have the edge in numbers but the OC has more of the cowhide! The Cook made a commendable attempt but faded on the main straight. I fear his hormones were against him.
