It's been a busy couple of days with Sven and Ida visiting. And we havn't even been involved in all the sightseeing! When they arrived Friday at lunch time we shared a meal before they hit Oxford Street. In the evening we caught a dubble decker to Brick Lane where we met up with Linus for a curry. Very good. Naturally, we couldn't leave without a visit to the Beigal bakery to buy... bagels adn a cheesecake. On Saturday we walked along the Thames to Towe Brudge and the Tower of London, before continuing to Borough Market for some lunch. I had bratswurst and sauerkraut and we enjoyed our meal on the lawn of Sothwark cathedral and caught the end of a wedding. After the break we passed the Globe and crossed Millenium Bridge to get to St Paul's. There we had a photo session relating to Marry Poppins before going back home. In the evening we watched Rugby and had pizza with James and Gloria whilst the two turists went to the West End to do Picadilly Circus etc. Next day Linus and I visited interior design stores on Tottenham Court Road before meeting up at The Grapes with Sevn and Ida who had seen Greenwich. The Suday Roast was finished there - but there was some left at Booty's so we managed anyway. Th sun was out and we had a good view of the river when enjoying our roast and than sharing a chocolate sponge with ice-cream. We returned home and our visitors continued into town to see Westminster and Buckingham Palace. They've really managed to see a lot. Today they're leaving, but before that it's the Tower of London and some last minute shopping. I'm trying to get a grip and do my essay outline - but I'm having a hard time ficusing. This semester really hasn't been my best one.
