Where did all the good food go??

Well...I've officially returned from Paris. For those of you that didn't know I went...uh...I did :) Jenny, Jason and I had an amazing time and ate all the french food we could possible cram in. Now that I'm back in London...it's nice to be home (cause London really does feel like home) but there are fewer possibilities for good food cause, well...it's Britain, and I'd either need to shell out too many quid or cook it myself!

Since I lost my camera, there will be a bit of a delay in the blogging of our trip, but I've taken notes and my brain is packed full of witty comments and fun little stories from our trip (the most surprising of which is Old Man Weiner....but you'll have to wait to hear the rest of that one!) Jen and Jas are probably just waking up from their first night back in their own bed...so I'll give them some time before I expect them to just start downloading photos and send them my way!

In the meantime...patience is a virtue!
(I'd have written that in French if anything I'd learned in the 6 years I took french stayed with me...sadly...it didn't.)

Pony out of Place

Living in London I've come to expect a certain number of oddities...human statues...silent discos in the middle of train stations. And today...it was a horse drawn carriage traveling along with normal traffic...in New Cross! In the city center...I might not think something like that would be out of place. In New Cross...it most certainly is! There's no nature nearby? Where did the horse come from? These are the unanswerable questions.

Weirdy horse aside...today was absolutely beautiful. The sun was shining so brightly I even busted out my sunglasses for the first time since October. And the temperature was a perfect mix of warm sunshine and a cool breeze so no coat was needed. It was one of those days that makes you love London because you get to see how beautiful it really is...when it's not drippy and gray. Had I remembered to take a picture with my phone...you'd get to see. But you'll simply have to imagine for now.

I'm off to retire for the evening as I'm fully body sore from Jitsu. Ouch!

Most Beautiful Rainbow in All the Land

Yesterday after Jitsu, I was wandering along the south bank of the Thames in the sprinkling rain, when all of a sudden the rain completely stopped, the sun came out and the most intensely brilliant rainbow I'd ever seen formed in the sky just over the river. I've been told rainbows are blessings, so I'm sharing this with you. Except...I'm a spaz and lost my digital camera...so all you get are pics from my cell phone...not the greatest quality...but it'll give you an idea :)
