hurry! (9th Sept)

right, i gotta have a quick shower and get myself over to westminster abbey, so i'd better be quick... or else!

two days ago:

the braai was AWESOME, hyper_viper KNOWS what the hell he's doing. met some very weird girls, was most disturbing, and we didn't watch shaun of the dead because one of the guys had an exam in the morning.

and my word, i'd had FAR too much to drink.

yesterday:

a much earlier start to the day, hyper_viper and i did a peremtory clean-up, and did the highgate showering thing. we had a serious starbucks breakfast, and waited for AGES for rabbi_e to show up.

we all went through the greenwich, and visited the maritime museum, and then the observatory, both of which were very cool.
then it was back to the pub. i'm starting to love guinness.

we met up with addict on the southwark bridge, and we all went off to the eerie pub (that place just ROCKS), and consumed until it was time to run along.
i was a bit concerned about paying £3 for coffee, and then the waitress turned up with an entire jug of filter coffee. which i felt obliged to finish.

TOO - MUCH - COFFEE.

i took a leisurely stroll to my relatives place, who i'd never met before, and we had a lovely dinner, and talked a LOT.
t'was nice.

i got a ride back to kilburn, and had decaf coffee with my hosts, which was quite pleasant, and then discovered that she was around. turns out the reason she hadn't contacted me was that my hosts' son had forgotten to give her my number.
brilliant.
so we all chatted until about 2am.

today:

coughing my lungs out. thank you london for the fresh air, but at least i'm getting used to it. to be fair, i wasn't in too good a state when i left cape town, either.

right, that's me, buggering off.
