nicelyobsessed and I came back from London this afternoon. We had a blast - as usual when we spend some time in London, mind, I don't think I'll ever tire of visiting that city :-) We did all kinds of things: touristy (Tower of London, stroll on the bankside of the Thames, Westminster, Covent Garden, Picadilly Circus, Buckingham palace, Green Park, St James Park, Hyde Park), cultural (British Library, British Museum), geeky/dorky (Forbidden Planet and Waterstones), as well as fannish (we went to the Merlin meet-up on Sunday with krazykipper and yami_tai. Even better yet, they both joined us at the British Museum beforehand; I hadn't seen them in ages - and I'd never seen Kip outside of a convention, so that was new ;-) - so it was lovely!).
I also got to savour some Krispy Kreme doughnuts (at Harrods and exactly where they were supposed to be "it's at a corner of the food court thing-RIGHT THERE, YES"), lovely scones and a full English breakfast. We also visited some Starbucks - duh - and discovered EAT. but I was so obsessed with Krispy Kreme and scones before leaving that I'd have been sadface if I hadn't managed to eat any!
Obviously this isn't a proper report but there might be some pictures posted later on, for those interested. Speaking of, I do have some already, though they're more of the dorky kind that anything. We discovered the existence of Cool Britannia, a sorta heaven for tourists who want to buy souvenirs or funny shirts. Case in point, ( those two shirts ). Aren't they fantastic? I love them. And there were so many in the same vein, about 80's shows and ipod and Twitter and Facebook - all kinds of dorky shirts of love.
Anyway. We got home around 4.00PM, went to my parents' to pick up Jack-the-cat and we're now back home, already in our PJs (with my brand new Underground hoodie - because whenever I go abroad, I'm compelled to get a new hoodie) and lazying around on our respective laptops. Well, Cookie is busy petting Jack and eating some English tarts but whatever, Brendon-the-laptop is at her feet, waiting to be used too. It's all quiet and peaceful, exactly what we need, especially as we'll be back at work tomorrow *makes face* The only good thing about tomorrow is the new White Collar, really. But it's something at least.
