I'm very jealous of you who will get to meet in London this week.
|
Well, I'll be thinking of everyone here and hoping that something happens near you, too, in due course. 
Ray and I will be visiting the Byzantium Exhibition in the afternoon and then going along to Murder One after that. Culture 'R Us for the day..!

I envy you two things then.... I ordered the catalogue for the exhibition and it arrived yesterday. Do look out for the Jacob's ladder icon from the monastery of St Catherine at Sinai: If you look at it in the right angle, around the heads of those climbing the ladder you can see halos, which are so discreetly and discretely chased in the gold leaf that you can't see them head-on.
And of course, I envy you meeting each other. I hope the hellhounds are better so that Robin can enjoy this with a light heart.

meanwhile there will be a small terrier hopefully not leading me astray on the way from middle england - I can't use the underground as they only have escalators and Hazel is too fat to fit under an arm (she's going on a diet) plus bullies wriggle - back end goes round in a clockwise direction, front end in counter-clockwise, so vertical 150 foot escalators - NOT a good idea.
Robin, if I'm late, I'm going in circles on the number 73 bus, not absconding with Hazel.
But we'll tell you all about it, and be thinking of you
|
Not true: all the underground station with wheelchair accessible signs have LIFTS and so does Covent Garden, right next to Leicester Square so you might try to navigate a path !

Um, if you're coming from Victoria Station, you want the number 24 bus, not the 73; the 24 stops right outside Murder One.
If I'm late, it will be coming up from Wimbledon Theatre; I'm not sure whether to Tube to Embankment and then Northern Line or get a real train to Waterloo, and then the Northern Line from there; I'll have to see what time it is when I get to Wimbledon Station.
Which reminds me, I must look up on walkit.com how you get from Wimbledon Theatre to Wimbledon Station (we're going in the Youth Club's mini-bus, but if I come back on that, I will be late!).
And I can't find my copy of "The Outlaw of Sherwood" anywhere, which is driving me mad - I've got all the other books together in a pile, and they will be going in a bag, but I can't find that one! Grrr.

I expect Southdowner will be arriving at Euston, coming from the midlands. I'm the one coming from points South, despite the lack of that in my name...
|
Yes I'm coming in to Euston and either taking the 73 or walking to Kings Cross where I won't be risking life and limb on escalators. Hazel is currently snoring through world war 3/aka bonfire night She doesn't know what adventures we're about to have.
|
I think I've officially turned a shade of green. **sigh**
It is now the 6th here. I guess I'll have to go and muck about with some sheep to take my mind off it all.
And light a candle for the Hellhounds.

well, I hope the trip was without incident and everybody had a greaT time (said in a snarly, jealous way cause I can't be there). I do sympathize with Robin re the photo's - I really HATE having my picture taken as I am convinced some gremlin distorts my image. But it would be nice to see one group shot.
