Eye on London

I can't believe that I am more than halfway through my trip to visit P and time is just racing by. It's been great to see him and the weather has been wonderful.

We went on the Eye on Sunday and here are a few photos:


Monday was a Bank Holiday so P had the day off. We went out to Bromley to see some good friends of mine. Their two little girls are cuuuuute! The oldest one at three looks just like mummy (who's German) and the one-year-old looks like daddy (who is Chinese). They made us lobster noodles and we spent the afternoon quaffing champagne and stuffing pavlova with cream and berries down our gobs. Tough life!

On the down side (isn't there always one?), I found that two of my cashmere sweaters which P had put in his closet had been eaten by moths! On closer inspection, I discovered that the rug by the front door had been chomped on, as had his flatmate's coats hanging next to it! I spent yesterday cleaning the flat from top to bottom and P helped me do the bathroom when he came back from work.

I am a bit of a neat freak but the apartment was not the cleanest. I don't know how people can live like this. I don't blame P as he has only been here for a few weeks, but his flatmate really needs to find out what a Hoover is and how to use it!

Anyway, I guess it gives me something to whinge about and now I have something else to hold over P's head hee hee.

Today I had lunch with one of the guys from our London office, then met P for coffee afterwards. Things in the city are not cheap, with a plate of fish and chips for £6, that is $18! I'm used to noodles for one pound, which are tasty and a whole lot healthier. I also notice that there are a lot of fat people here, so they must be making a lot of money as food is so expensive.

Anyway, I only have two full days left here, so I will make the best of them and enjoy my vacation. The next few months will be flat out with the move and the wedding and I will be glad when I'm more settled.

Until the next entry, bye bye from London!
