On our way to Hong Kong tomorrow

And we'll be losing a day going there. :(

Still, I'm looking forward to it even if part of me is already fed up of living in a suitcase. I'd actually be about ready to head home. So many things have gone wrong that I can't help but worry about the state we're going to find the house in.

On another note, last time online until we get to the hotel in Hong Kong, I would imagine... but I'm actually not sure there will be free wireless internet in our room or not. We'll see. I'll holler if there is. 

And please, if anyone has already been to HK, any suggestion or rec as to what shouldn't be missed would be very welcome.

Hope you guys are doing well.

Oh... watched Top Gear last night. Damn Rupert Whatshisname (from Spooks) is a handsome fellow! :D 

Superb

Just checking in on the guest computer at the hotel to say we're having a good time. Today was sunny and warm and lovely. Went on the London Eye then headed to Knightsbridge and Oxford and Regent Streets to do some shopping, ending it all at Forbidden Planet. Nice Italian dinner near Leicester Square and then caught a movie (In Bruges) before calling it a night. 

It's now raining. :(

I hope it will clear up for tomorrow. We want to do a cruise to the Thames barrier and to Greenwich. Gotta go check out that time thing. :)

Hope everyone is doing alright.

London Calling

We did it! Booked a couple of nights in London. We're going babyless too! Can't wait to go on the Eye, have a pint at a pub, meander along the streets and do some window shopping. Forbidden Planet is already calling me as well as a few favourite museums and cafes. Hopefully the Wimbledon craze will clear the streets for us. :)

Thanks to 

space_weavil

for her help. Hunting for a hotel on dial-up is murder!

We hit the potteries today... Spode/Royal Worcester, Wedgewood, Royal Doulton, Portmeirion... walked out with a nice birthday gift for the SIL and some lovely Edinburgh Crystal glasses to replace our chipped ones back home. Not sure how they're going to make it back to Oz...

Hope the flist is doing well. Hugs!

From the land of the rain

Just to say the flight went well and Lily behaved beautifully. We're at the inlaws for two weeks and a bit and it's plenty wet and cold - just like I've always known England to be. 

We're off for Sheffield for a couple of days tomorrow. No, not to see Sean Bean though I wish we could bump in the lad. ;)

Hope you're all doing well.

Checking in...

Just saying hi!

Still running around. Still nice to catch up and revisit old friends and family but it's no holiday, I tell you.

Went to see the recent Indiana Jones with friends last night. I quite enjoyed that. I thought HF might have been too old but he slid right back in there. And Marion, what a treat!

Tonight was a family meal at the house and tomorrow we're throwing a BBQ/party for the gang. Should be fun!

Better go get some shuteye.

Hope everyone's doing fine!

Oh, and the wedding was lovely, even if it rained!
