no rest for the wicked...

Gosh, what a busy life I lead. I had a daggy saturday - so much so that I forgot to go and watch the Lord Mayor's fireworks on the Thames. I realised at 6 o'clock (it had been dark for 2 hours already), and they'd gone off at 5. Memory like a sieve...
On sunday I jumped on the tube and went to the Natural History Museum, which is an absolutely beautiful building. Photo attached of the main foyer/entrance, dinosaur included! There was heaps to see, and I happily wandered for a few hours. [Note : gift shop sucked].
On the way home I went shopping on Oxford St (again!), and took some pics of the christmas lights. The photo's didn't come out that well, but you get the gist...
Monday was Anna's birthday, so we went out for 'a Japanese' - as some say here. Awesome food, although I stopped short of trying fried oysters. yeek.
Tuesday was my evening shift at work (I'm back on the circulation desk one night a week!), and on wednesday we went out for dinner with brother-in-law-Sacha who was over here visiting. We went to the Design Museum cafe, which was right beside the Thames just down from the magnificent Tower Bridge. We had to walk over the bridge to get to the cafe, and I had a 'London moment'. Something you've always seen in books, and there you are walking on it...
Weather update : 1 degree this morning. I'm told this isn't cold.
