Tuesday 21 Feb: Arrrgghh It's Nearly March
Greetings from London! Yesterday it was quite chilly here, there a was a lovely little breeze that was rendering the top of my ears very cold.
Furthermore on Sunday it was raining, like proper UK rain which is a little bit rude, we were all thinking that the bad weather was over.... apparently not.
On Saturday we went to Nottinghill. We got ourselves a little map and did the walk of fame. Well part of it anyway. We saw where George Orwell lived and Jimi Hendrix died, where the world chess champion lived, we had a smooch on the corner where Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant kissed in the move Nottinghill.
Of course we went to the bookstore from the movie, and also the blue door..... which isn't there anymore (well the frame is but the door was sold) - it is now black and looking a bit run down.
Then it was onto the restaurant from Bridget Jone's Diary before getting lost in window shopping. Agent Provocateur (sp? - lingerie anyway)... very nice very pricey, a particuarly lovely set i looked at had a g string for £154 and a matching bra for £250.....
Nottinghill was well famous before the movie came out. Portebello Road, Portabello Road....... (Disney's Bedknobs and Broomsticks) - The Portabello Road markets. There is a huge antique market there, but new goods and fresh produce are also sneaking in. I thoroughly recommend it.
On Sunday we did have intentions of hitting the Playboy museum but we didn't get going in time so Rhian, Duncan and I went to Harrods. And you all know what Harrods has... Krispy Kremes..... mmm mmm. Apparently it has lots of shopping too but i wouldn't know, i was eating donuts!! Ha just joking :) We did window shop and there wasn't much temptation to buy, because even if we had been paid we wouldn't have been able to afford anything (except krispy kremes ;)
That evening we went bowling with Spongebob, Jim Jam and she who shall-not-be-named :), and some of their friends. I learnt that i need practice at bowling, but i think i did get one strike and we had a good time.
Hmph!!! My husband sucks at communication.... He didn't tell me that he had put up a post so now ihave just written all the same stuff. Well tough - you can read it anyway! Oh and by the way Duncan Transformers is spelt with an 'n' not a 'b'
I am taking my ball and going home (well back to work)

Someone told me that at one point after the blue door had been painted another colour, someone wrote the graffiti 'This is the blue door' on the wall next to it with an arrow :)
