Off to see the books!

I'm typing this on the road (yay iPad) - theoretically there will be wifi at the hotel tonight so that I can post this. We'll see. I'm on my way to Hay on Wye with my parents where I will hopefully not be buying my weight in books.

Only half my weight :-)

Yesterday was a busy day, my first big day in London. I got fitted in Bravissimo (can't afford to lose any more weight - I'll never be able to buy bras in a small enough back size if I do) and bought some new, properly fitting pretties. Then I had lunch and a stroll with gmul, which was great fun. I even got some of my souvenir shopping done and some photos of key London landmarks for friends at home. We ended up sitting by the Serpentine in Hyde Park where nobody was selling us ice cream. Very disappointing in the ice cream.

Then it was on for coffee and supper with an old school friend. Loads of catching up and we discovered a mutual love for Strictly Come Dancing :-)

I didn't get back to my parents' place until nearly midnight which made this morning's five thirty rising mildly painful, although insomnia did me a favour there because I was already waking up when my alarm went off.

Now I'm driving through Oxford (huh? Probably a good thing that I'm not navigating because I don't understand how this gets us to Hay) in lovely sunny weather and looking forward to buying all the books. This is turning out to be a great vacation :-)

If I'd known you were coming this way I'd have waved! (yes curiosity got me looking at a planner for the route from High Wycombe to Hay on Wye, looks like you came along the A40 and straight past Eynsham).

My dad hates motorways so we were A roads all the way after Oxford :-) I'll wave vaguely in the direction of you on the way home later.
