this is the picadilly line servicing cockfosters....

today was walk-tastic! we tubed and walked and tubed and walked all over this place! we have been beofer so the obligatory sights ahve already been seen so this time we were kinda just wandering about!

we went to leceister square, walked down regent street and had some fancy pants tea at fortnam and moson some shee shee department store where they sell cookies for like 50 pounds!

had my new favorite food- welsh rarebit- aka cheese on a crumpet...mmmmm..

walked walked walked- i feel really bad because shar is sick and i think she is trying to be a trooper and act better then she is- if i were her i would want to be curled up in that cozy hotel bed not trekking around in the freezing cold! i had to put a stop to it when it started to rain!! by the time dad got back we were both curled up in the bed and itwas only 5 o clock! when it gets dark at 4 that is really all there is left to do!!

dads work colleague had suggested a restaurant called michael moore ( still have no straight answer on whether there is some relation....it was one of those converted houses, made into a small cozy restuarant where the chef is the main event. it was really delish though- had some goat cheese tartine and seared tuna- good stuff! also drank a lot of wine and im pretty sure i came back to hotel ( when the'rents passed out at 9 pm) and started tipsy-emailing people...hahaoops:_)

then today more walking about- went to porotobello road and walked around oxford street some more ( had to get shar back to the hotel for some rest) i am in shoe paradise here- well maybe its actually more like hell considereing i cannot afford to buy any of them without putting a kidney on lay away! seriously if i lived here i would have to live in a box and keep warm with all my shoes piled on top of me!! at first i thought the shopping her ein general was killer but turns out most of the stores are the same and so i remain infatuated with the shoe scene alone. i did buy one pair- shar said she would get them for me for early xmas- grey suede ankle booties with about a four inch heel .....delicious.

had lebonese food for early dinner and then went off to WICKED!!! my fave! however turns out there are two appolo theaters- one in the west end and one in victoria ( aka not the west end at all) so we tube hopped (rushing already) to the west end theater only to see josh hartnetts face leering above us in the advert for rrain man or something...so into a cab who literally flew us ( like that harry potter night bus thing) to victoria and we made it by the skin of our teeth!! it was great- we were like five rows back from the stage- you could see the spit from the actors mouths! hahah except the guy in front of me was a gian tbeast of a man and kept like rolling his colossal melon of a head around on his boulder sized shoulders and i couldnt see without sitting on both my feet and leaning forward! so we moved over into some empty seats and all was well:)

off to VA tomorrow for the suprise!!
