howdy

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ oops! Ok I'm back from the UK and only slightly jet-lagged. Well, maybe more than slightly. Seems like a long trip for just 4 days of meetings and networking. But it wasn't *quite* all work.

One night we rode the London Eye, the biggest "ferris wheel" I ever saw (photos "borrowed" from the web)

Each car can hold a few dozen people



And you get a spectacular view of the city, all lit-up at night.

There was also dinner at an excellent Indian restaurant called Bombay Brasserie. We actually ate there twice. Once because it was next to our hotel and the first night that's as far as we wanted to explore. The second time was on Fri night. We wanted to go to a Thai place called Blue Elephant, but when we got there, they said they couldn't seat us until Sunday! Maybe reservations are a good idea after all. Who knew?
We then went to an internet cafe to lookup the phone# of another place called Chutney Mary's, (Indian) but they wouldn't give us a table until 10pm so we said no thx. After wandering around without any luck, we called them again, and they said 10:30 was the earliest now. Bastards! So that's why we went back to the place we ate the first night. It was the best Indian food I ever had though.

Now that I'm back I'll try to look at all the sets that went up in the past 10 days. Bliss And start commenting again. Thx to all you lovely girls who left comments for me too.

Now if I can only find time to finish xmas shopping, wrapping, mailing, and carding...
