Today HD and I went into London town to meet up with some people from the Ship of Fools. We started off at Tower Hill and then crossed Tower Bridge and walked along the South Bank. I have to say, some people walked really really slowly! But, I did have a good time, it was great to get back into London (and out of Luton for a bit!), and brilliant to see a number of people I've not seen since Greenbelt, or in some cases since I left London over 3 years ago, as well as to meet a few new people, including Kelly the guest of honour from California. I took some photos which are here.
We stayed as far as the Tate Modern, but apart from looking at the big spider (brrrrr!) in the Turbine Hall HD and I only had time for a quick look round the shop (for a birthday present for a friend) before we had to head back to Luton. Everybody else carried on walking and were aiming for a pub near Waterloo, I was really sad we couldn't go but needs must this time. If anyone fancies saying a little prayer for us, HD has a job interview next week (this is why we headed back, so he could spend some more time to prepare a rather scary-sounding - not to mention rather long - presentation he has to do). His contract here finishes in a few weeks' time, so it would be good if we knew what life might hold in store (and at least where we're going to end up) sooner rather than later. Thank you :)
