So, updates


Hello fans, and future me reading over this,

Well! I have been a little lax over the last few days (sorry) so i will provide a quick update for you all.... As you know my friends from Australia were visiting, Rachel and Janet, which was great. We went and saw all the sights, like Tower Bridge, London Bridge, Big Ben, Houses of Parliament, Trafalgar Square, Buckingham Palace, Hyde park, Camden, my house, Oxford St, Portobello Road.... it was great, even if it did rain a bit. Here are the highlights, in no particular order:

1) On the first night they were here, we went to a pub up the road from my house and went in the pub quiz and came DEAD LAST. In fairness the questions were all English related and really hard! We called ourselves Team Wombat, and when announcing that we were loses, the quiz master called us the "fit Aussies". We may not know what a claret is, but we are fit :)

2) We went to Hyde Park and were lying in the reluctant sunshine reading magazines when a squirrel came over and climbed onto my leg. It was so cute! Although I must confess all I could think was "rabies!!!"

3) Rachel doing a Mary Poppins every time we got onto an escalator, and putting her arms out in front of her as we moved up.

4) When we were at Buckingham Palace, and were befriended by some Roman guys who made us take a picture with them (and some other randoms they called into shot) before asking if they could come back to Australia with us because one of them was in love with a girl from Sydney who he met two days earlier and now can't locate. (So many things I wanted to say. So. Many.)

5) This little cafe in Camden near the loch which sold homemade tea blends and scones and had all mismatched falling apart furniture. So Camden.

6) Buying Mars Planets because they kept advertising them during Friends. You win this round, advertising industry.

7) The Hummingbird Bakery on Portobello Road.... mmmm.... I recommend the whoopie cakes or the red velvet cupcakes.

That is all I can think of so far. So an excellent few days all up :) They left today, so I am a little sad. Who will I watch Friends with now? Who indeed.

Until next time fans!! Love Kat
