Aubergines

Just a quick note, because Viv and I are basically killing time until a pub that has sticky pudding opens up! (Viv says hi to everyone!) I went out to Heathrow early this morning to pick up Vivien, who'd had a good flight except they kept waking her up to force feed her...(she thinks no one will believe that, or that she was complaining about it!). We decided to venture out into Covent Garden where I found a few things in the Jubilee Market Hall to make my room more homey. We went in and out of a lot of shops, had some great Thai food for lunch (we discovered a new vegetable - eggplant fetus - aka baby eggplant- we think our server was wrong, they looked like big peas, but who knows), I introduced Viv to Neal's Yard and Neal's Yard Remedies, and then we made our way to Leicester Square. Unfortunately, none of the TKTS half-price tickets appealed to us, so we wandered around for a bit, and decided to wait for this particular pub to open at 6pm. We've done a bit of planning for our trip to Cambridge this weekend, and a bit of planning for our day in London tomorrow (Westminster, then we'll meet Jo for lunch and all head on to a museum). We've also done quite a bit of marveling at the weather...the sun has shined, and it's poured, and then the sun has shined again, and so on. Oh yeah, and I think we're going to do a Jack the Ripper walking tour. It's just coming up to 6 now, so that's it for the moment.

Oh, Kristy, before I forget, I did hear from your sister, and we made plans for after Viv heads back to the States!

XOXO
