Where in the world is our furniture.

Well, actually, it's here in the UK. But talking to the movers, looks like it'll be ANOTHER week or so. (insert cricket noise here) There is nothing to do but go with it. Since they are over the time limit for delivering our goods, we are allowed to be reimbursed for things purchased. Going shopping tomorrow!
The weather is sunny and bright, near 70 today. Getting so stir crazy, Mike and I decided to go for another walk. There are many places still yet to explore. Most are on the High street. Wanted to take the bus to Piccadilly, but after waiting for the bus to come, our oyster cards wouldn't work. We figured it's because Mike set up the auto charge feature, and it needs 24 hrs to click in. In utter dismay, we walked down to a cafe we wanted to try. Oo lala. It's nice - a great place to take people when they come over. Coffees, paninis, soups, cakes.

Kurt, it reminds me of you....

I have to say I'm really loving the pastries here. I knew they were less sweet than at home. But my mind has not caught up to it yet. One takes a bite into a decadent cake and it doesn't throw your taste bids into a sugar coma. Ahh, it's a lovely thing.
Hit the local garden centre (Rassell's) on the way home. Just a few blocks from our place, it offers so many varieties of plants, even citrus trees. No, we're not buying a tree. Got some lovely end of the season geraniums for 50p each. Wicked. No need to root my own.

  1. LOL, love the "Insert cricket noise here". Very clever. I can't believe you guys have had to wait so long for your furniture! Geez Louise, that's maddness.

    Go shopping, shop 'til ya drop baby! And go to the expensive places. Well, that sounds like everywhere over there!

    Hang in there sis.

  2. P.S. Go to Hampstead Heath and poke around Hampstead. It's a wonderful little place.
