London: Miscellaneous Stuff

[przed]

It's nearly a week since I've gotten back (a very busy week) but I thought I'd post a few random awesome things about the trip to London, just so I remember them.

FJBryan, world's best travel companion. She knows fab restaurants in London, put up with my clothes shopping expedition down Regent St., and is more than up for filling a trip with as much theatre as possible

Coffee and croissants with the lovely solosundance

A jetlag recovery dim sum lunch at Chuen Cheng Ku on Wardour St.

Seeing the Treasures from Budapest show at the Royal Academy of Art

Seeing Stephen Fry going into the Treasures from Budapest show

A late, long lunch at Al Waha, an awesome Lebanese restaurant on Westbourne Grove

Pie for dinner at the Newman Arms

Praline macaroons from a swank shopping arcade near the Royal Academy, courtesy of FJB who insisted, quite rightly, I had to try them

Just being in London!

There's a lot of food in that list, isn't there?

And it has nothing to do with London, but I had one more awesome thing happen this week. I arrived at work on Monday to find I'd won the 40" widescreen TV we were raffling off for charity. And this just as we were about to replace our 20-year-old tube TV with, wait for it, a 40" widescreen TV. (That's my luck used up for the next decade.)

You're making me awfully homesick for London *g* It sounds like a fab trip - you even shared oxygen with Stephen Fry; how much better could it get? *g*

And congratulations on winning the new telly. Whoohoo! This is obviously the start of an amazing run of good luck for you. ::pokes tea leaves for confirmation::

It really was a wonderful trip. Sharing oxygen with Stephen Fry (what a lovely way to put it) was the merest fraction of it all. *g*

As for the telly, it was a wonderful stroke of luck, but I shan't depend on the streak continuing. Though I will enjoy it while it lasts.
