It was wonderful to meet you all again. It shows me (not that it needs showing, mind) how much I love you all, and how important and special our community is.

Who's this. The focus aint that good because I got tired eyes and my autofocus don't work; but I think you can still make out who it is.

I got home an hour ago, and everything seems fine here. smiley - smiley

The Underground kept playing tricks on me, both last night and this afternoon. Going back to the hotel last night, when I reached Earl's Court on the Piccadilly Line, I learned from the loudspeakers that the District line north to my area was closed. Okay, I consulted the map and decided to try the Circle Line. Then I saw a sign saying that Cirle Line was closed, too. Some guy at amn information booth told me I could use Bakerloo, which meant backtracking to Piccadilly. smiley - flustered This afternoon, when I got off at heathrow, the gate wouldn't open to let me through. I was told that my card wasn't for Zone 6, whatever that is. He let me through manually, though, so I guess it was okay. I don't know what is in what zone, nor what to do about it, but I'm back in Boston....

The sightseeing and the get-together at Shakespeare's Head were awesome! Exactly what I expected, only better because the weather was so nice. I just hope I'm not going to start dreaming about noses starting to grow in places where they don't belong! smiley - yikes

This morning I noticed for the first time that at every crosswalk in London there's a sign telling you which way to look. smiley - laugh Okay, that's something we don't have in America. smiley - winkeye

Well, it's about time to leave the hotel and thus lose web access.

It's been a lovely few days in London, and lovely to meet old and new friends.

Until next time...

FOUND AT THE SHAKESAPEARE'S HEAD ON SATURDAY NIGHT/SUNDAY MORNING:
- a pen ("CLIC Sargent / for children with cancer" written in pink on it).
- a note pad (mostly-white cover with big red star).

I have them with me, and can send them to whoever they belong to. Just leave me a message on my PS.



smiley - lurk Made it back to the hostel safely on Saturday night (or should that be Sunday morning...?) Many thnaks, again, to MMF for the cab.

Lovely to see so many of you, am always impressed by how far some of you are prepared to travel just to meet weirdos off the internet.

I got home too late last night (this morning) to feel like uploading my photos. I'll try and get around to it this evening after choir rehearsal.

I didn't see me either Mrs Zen. I wished somebody would take my photo smiley - wah with their own camera I mean.

Those cockneys got me a bit nervous; you know, take a photo of us, I know they say, wouldn't it be a good idea to take a photo of you. smiley - smiley
