A Foggy Day

Yesterday we went to the British Museum. We viewed mostly the Egypt floors, which were amazing. I had the song, "A Foggy Day" running through my head as we walked the great halls for some reason? After the museum we visited Ian in his neighbourhood, Islington (Alun was working). We walked around and found Season Six of Will & Grace (Yahoo) at HMV. We met Ian at The Green for drinks before having dinner at Browns. I had another nosebleed but we won't go into the gory details. The days are getting cooler too. It was a busy weekend. (Tony & Mal who are the best, are taking very good care us). Saturday afternoon we met up with the boys: Ted, Christopher, Ian & Alun at Balans Cafe. After lunch we walked over to Rupert Street for afternoon drinks. Tony was chatting up a guy named Kevin who eventually bought them two bottles of champagne. Needless to say they were very drunk by the time they left. Alan and I left the boys and went home for a quick disco nap before heading to OXO Tower for dinner. The boys took us out to celebrate our nuptuals (Saturday 8 Oct.). It was an amazing restaurant/bar. We met a group of girls celebrating their hens night. They came over to our table a number of times. They were obsessed with the fact that most of us were wearing stripes...and even sent over a piece of cake to congratulate us on our wedding. So we sent their table champagne. Cat, the bride to be, was a sweetie. We have photos. Then the table next to us started chatting us up. Two couples who were well into their sixties; however the women dressed like they were in their twenties - they were outrageous. They wanted to have drinks after dinner but we made a quick getaway. It was 1am when we left the restaurant. Fireworks were going off along the Thames...We had a great view overlooking the Thames. It was a great place to eat. A real mix of people. Sunday we went for a drive to Oxford and had a traditional pub lunch at The Trout. It was beautiful. A little pub nestled next to a little river. The leaves were starting to change colour and the air was quite fresh. This pub is so popular. We managed to get there just after the lunch time rush. The drive back to London was long due to a traffic jam but we eventually made it home. Today we are planning a stroll through Hyde Park and some shopping at Harvey Nics/Harrods. We need to buy a new suitcase, as ours broke on our way back from Cologne. Tomorrow we fly to Montreal for six nights.
