I just realized that I forgot to post a blog last night...I was so busy I guess it just slipped my mind! Yesterday was a very busy day and today has been a little different as well...so yeah...that's my excuse.
Last night I moved into my new flat. It is HUGE. It's 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and there are only 2 of us in there at the moment which is very nice. I know this goodness is going to really fly by...
Last night we went to dinner at the OXO Tower. This is a pretty upscale restaurant right on the Thames River. It was OK. A little to gourmet to me. The meal consisted of a salad which had a variety of lettuces, odd nuts and a piece of bread along with a ball of mozzarella that looked like a hard boiled egg. Dinner was a skin-on baked chicken breast (served luke warm at best) on top of a bit of mashed sweet potatoes. Desert was a lemon tart with a raspberry ripple cream on the side. Desert was the best part. From what I hear the meals were about £35 each. I think that £34 of that probably went to pay for the view. The food was OK..but I definitely think it is the atmosphere that sells this restaurant. Everything there was branded with the name of the restaurant from the dinner plates to the stainless steel champagne chilling buckets.
After dinner we went on the London Eye. Luckily it was not raining so the view was terrific. I took a lot of pictures from up to 185m above London. Hope you enjoy them!!
Tomorrow I am going to do the town with a friend. We're going to see Avenue Q and then perhaps a pub or a bar. Should be a lot of fun.
Anyone have any great plans for this weekend to share? I don't have any plans to travel this month really..mostly due to lack of funds (things are really expensive in August in Europe because everyone is on Holiday). This will change in the fall and be countered by lack of time....Murphy's Law applies in Britain too....go figure!
Oh, Eileen I saw that you made the front page of the newspaper. Sorry to hear it was for something like a freak lightning storm and not the purchase of a winning Florida Lotto Ticket. I hope that they can get your house back in order soon!
I also saw that there is some suspicious tropical activity going on right now. I hope that that doesn't come to fruition.
Anyways, time for me to fly... Hope everyone has a great night!
Take Care,
~Jenn
