Reporting from London.
SWWBO reports.
Hi, Sweetheart, Well, I'm glad I didn't miss anything. [referring to last night's party that I left early] I don't seem to be able to get the internet to work at my hotel - they are working on that - It's pretty interesting, I'll send you pictures - it's a tiny little mini-apartment - with an upstairs and downstairs - down about 6 steps from the front door to the bedroom and bathroom.Then up the same steps and open the door to the right to get to the tiny little kitchen/office/dining/living room - all smaller than our bedroom! I have pictures. I'll try to download them and send them to you later today. I am able to call you from here at the new office in London - very impressive office!!!
I will also figure out how much money I can spend and you can spend - damn, I wish I knew I was going to be here this long a month ago - I can't believe how many beautiful things there are to purchase this time of the year in London -
England is definitely pro-Christmas, by the way! All the stores say Happy Christmas and on the TV, the newsreaders (literally newsreaders - they open up the newspapers on the tv, read the headlines and show the pictures in the morning) all say Merry Christmas, and it is a rather jolly time of year to shop.
[sappy stuff FMEO]
My hotel is in Kensington Square - quite close to Hyde Park and just a couple of blocks from the Bayswater Tube Station - tons of little souvenir shops - all Christmas items are half price! Right before Christmas - I will have to buy at least one little thing.
I need to get to work!
[more sappy stuff that's nunayerbidniz]
