the journal - the first 2 weeks Honeymoon
16-7-2001
We left for our honeymoon at 3 pm from Nice and we booked a cab to arrive to the flat. In a moment of craziness I gave him 40 £ when the price we set up was 30£ just because I knew it about mess with the tip or non-tip…I had a quarrel some years ago when ,with Miss Savi and Andrea we rented one to go to the airport…
For dinner we went to Pizza Hut, I was dying to go there since…last time we were in London! I gave them 25 £ and the bill was £ 15 (because I didn’t have a 10 note ) and she fooled me with the change.. maybe in good faith, but you never know and money are money, especially with the high prices in London, any pound is precious!
£ 6 grocery shopping
£ 18.90 each for the weekly tube card
£ 4.48 anti bacteria soap (Boots)
£ 17.80 grocery Mark & Spencer
Saved by the Neighbours can be a chapter to write about Alba wanted to dance at the wedding with Udu. And screaming to the musician to put a slow dance. Udu said he was happy when Rita asked her to go home – as she was with her in the car. The beautician strikes back! Dinner with Sian & Udu at NAVAJO JOE in Covent Garden. I survived at the mess between circle & district line!!!! When I was in London with Andrea I always made mistakes with that 2 lines, and I mainly let him drive me around. But Paolo was not so keen ofLondon ( now he is! ) so I was the tour guide.
17-7-2001
It’s raining men, alleluja…♫ (like the song!). Today we woke up, changed some traveller cheques and did shopping at M & S then headed to Hamley’s and walked back to JERMYN Street .
Czech and Speake sells no perfumes in that street but baths…the one we like! Tubs, baths in the perfect english style that we love. Then we visited PINK (Thomas Pink) that is now the favourite place of Amo for shirts. He really prefers them to the one of Harvey and Hudson, he loves them! He is waiting for the catalogue of PINK more than for the one of the Cotswold that sells action figures! Actually their shirts are more suitable for the italian tastes.
Then we went back home for lunch, all M & S (we treat ourselves like queens and kings!) and the mashed potatoes were great ( 99 p.) . The flat is terrific, furnished maybe like in the 70s but I honestly don’t care!
It started to rain and till now….no stopping awaited.
We should meet Udu and Sian at 8.15 pm in Covent Garden and tomorrow Sian wants to come around to shop for our wedding gift . I asked them for a toaster for bread as it is something we would like to have and that Paolo uses.
We phoned to the Ritz but they require a tie and a jacket. Asking them for a jacket to borrow was too “poor country people in town” so we decided to call the SAVOY . They are less formal. So we are going there. It’s too boring when it’s raining!
18/7/2001
SUNshine! Finally! I was started to feel blue. We are expecting Sian for 10 am then we are going to buy our wedding gift. But just the fact that yesterday she paid for the dinner was a more than appreciated sign of affection. It was a half present itself. They drank a PINOT d’ALSACE .
After having dined with a dizzling fajita with beef, chicken and shrimps of the Atlantic, Paolo wanted a chicken burger! (McDonald’s) and the funny part is that up to yesterday he was always touching in pain his stomach saying that had a bad colitis. He just took out of the suitcase the Scarsdale Diet but it’s on the table under brochures of the all the take-aways that Kensington can offer. Interesting conversation, this morning in a cafè with Sian about the “ Gabbie Salariali” and the “London living allowance” that is something that we have to point out in the next national contract of bank empl. As we are following the ECC just when there is advantage for the politicians and not when something can be a bonus for us.
108 £ a week is the salary for the training nurses (just good to know if you work in the same branch in another country..you can compare. Unluckily I was never able to learn from somebody for sure, with exact precision how much does earn a bank empl abroad.
I should write an article on the union magazine about that living allowance but I fear that is too much against the system and that they won’t publish it.
6 £ to mail the parcel to Clari with inside his tea.
Sian taught us some welsh
GOOD Morning BORE-DA
GOOD AFTERNOON ANAWN-DA
GOOD EVENING NOSWYth- DA
PLEASE OS GWELWCH UN DA
THANK YOU DIOLCH YN FOWR
She gave us also a wedding, sorry, I mistaken, it was an honeymoon CORNISH drink as a gift that we will probably leave at John’s place because carrying all around UK a bottle of a sticky liquor is probably not safe for my clothes. I am sure that they will enjoy it. We had found the shop of PENHALIGON while walking around Covent Garden (that is my fave place in London and I am sure that if you read my book you already know that). It is a wonderful shop!
TEA AT THE SAVOY this afternoon!!!! I wore my brand new silk green L.K. Bennett dress that Paolo gave me. We entered the Savoy from the back entrance…figures! A nice start…neither even the glamour of the maitre checking on the book for your booking…They have sofas and a tea table with clotted cream that is too heavy and fattening (still on my stomach) .The scones was too heavy! There were sandwiches made with smoked salmon that I love + ham and shrimps (Paolo loved the ham ones) and cucumber + tomato. Then some pastries. And you could have ordered more & more..like a all-you-can-eat.
Piano player with background music, the whole atmosphere was nice. I had seen the mirror with flowers that is described in all the books as the main typical art-decò, liberty decor of the Savoy. Flower mosaics, to be accurate.
Great address to live in London:
DRURY LANE
PRINCESS GATE
Martlett COURT – a condo with flowers on balconies) .
We walked around HOLBORN nothing really to see.
It’s raining! Again! The book shows two things to see…we will. In the rush hour really is better not to use the tube. My gosh it was crowded! I hate Oxford Street, I don’t wanna go there anymore. It’s too Corso Buenos Aires and too messy. Taken from the 007 movie “Diamonds are forever”:
“ I am Plenty”
“ Of course you are!”
19/07/2001
Geri could you please change your song? Here is like we have your hit constantly in our minds and also the weather seems to follow your advice! I read DAVID LODGE “ Home truths”.
Short but nice. HOGARTH EXHIBITION at Sir John Soane’ home Museum. Amazing.He has a sarcophagj that Benzoni found in Egypt. I remember Benzoni because one saturday I had seen the son of Piero Angela on a show about Egypt. It belonged to SETI I and the house is fullfilled with Statues, roman heads, A wide collection of marbles that he had hang all around the walls. Double walls with painting and designs of his projects. Down in the Monk Parlour there is a great table with burgundy velvet chairs. I would have loved to live and own a house like that! HOLBORN TUBE STATION (is the nearest tube!!!!).
It’s free (the museum). I wonder how much had he had stolen from other countries in terms of monuments. Nice gardens in front of the house. Great place to live.
“ Screwing around is like fooling around with no dinner”
Taken from Chicago. The nicest song was ALL THAT JAZZ (we have the CD now…)and yes, it was worth of the 16 £. Yes, all right, true. A CD in UK is £ 16.
We did the grocery at Budgen’s. M & S. sounds too expensive for me. £ 10,63 + 3,74 cappuccino and hot chocolate. In Holborn I wanted to buy an olympus Pearl corder because it was a pure bargain for £ 9,99 that is cheap but they didn’t changed T/C and really I never had any problem paying with them as I had this year. They sent me to the Barclays but the teller, honestly, said that they charged 5 pounds , to go to the Amex office. But is that legal? To charge for t/c in the same currency? I think the rules are that they cannot have fees when is the same currency of the country. No recorder. What a shame, it was a bargain! There will be other occasions.I need it for several ways, like the union and to record things for my books.
WE did the grocery shop at M & S again, to make sandwiches £ 6,16.
Bakers we had seen a steamer by Kenwood, the CD of Chicago but that was too expensive. £ 15!!!! . I had seen Adidas sneakers…snake…my dream’s shoes. They’ll be mine. I already know that Roby will love them too. She is my fashion’ advisor.
20/07/2001-08-23
A walk in Portobello Road. More like an open air food market, fruit, vegetable. Antiques are expensive . We didn’t go there on a saturday morning, luckily! I had found a nice little shop for POTS and VASES (the one that in ancient time were used as loo) . Nice (almost 8 £), with flower decors and great to be used like a flower vase. I didn’t have any room in the samsonite because otherwise…I wanted to go back for the night vase…also because we were meant to go back to the area of Notting Hill.
1 pm : concert at St. Mary Abbott. Lunchtime concert. It was soporiferous, everybody was sleeping. The violinist looked like Raoul. He seems a champion of self-esteem but apart from that he looks like him in the constitution.
I liked the piece “Le streghe” by Paganini.
Our Canon is getting naughty again, gave the usual signal “bc” when you tried to shoot a picture. The battery anyway it was fully charged. Paolo made the lens fell – cross fingers – and then it started to work again.
I forgot to write about the ride back home of yesterday night with the bus number 9. Ticket-man very rude (probably bahamian ! ). He seldom spoke english.
CòMON CòMON ( without the “N” ) sounded like COMO, the lake town!! Ah,ah. He said to a young tourist that was enquiring if that bus was going tp WEST KENSINGTON:
“Read in the back”
The driver..a beginner of the driving. The bus was shaking, it was like being on the TGV, Pendolino train to Rome. To go out….you had to JUMP down the bus. An american tourist said:
“ whao, who’s the cow-boy? “ This is the best sentence for Paolo. The best in all the 5 weeks on honeymoon.
He was still laughing about it when we were in St. Brelade and guess what? We saw the ticket-man on the # 9 other times! St. Martin in Fields – concert at 7.30 pm.
Candlelight concert. We have in front an american with a german cow bell of the Alps on a fisherman jacket. He is here with the grand-daughter.
Pachelbel was really touching!!!! Probably I should buy the OST of the movie SHINE, I liked it so much…
We spent the afternoon at the EASY EVERYTHING to check the e-mail and then rushed to M & S to buy stuff for the quick sandwich (we were late for the concert..)Walked to Harvey Nichols all along Kensington, and went to see the shirts at Harvey & Hudson ..for me it’s too english!
In Italy these shirts are tasteless.
Visited St. Paul Church with tremendous angels on the roof. Amazing. Our neighbour (but ..I am writing from St.Martin in Field during the concert!) here on the bench is a gorgeous aussie girl from Sydeny (half from Istria) and Amo promptly said that he was ready to move toward her on the bench.
“Anyway I always wanted to visit Australia” he added.
But this doesn’t change the fact that, speaking about the difference between ELF and DWARF he is always a mix between PISOLO (the sleepy dwarf from “Snow White” ) and BOMBOLO (the fatty one).
Amo fancies the chinese buffet close to Leichester Square that is £ 4.50 for 10 courses , all you can eat.
I said NO NO NO as we have at home since…3 angus beef burgers and zucchini from the Portobello market already cooked + soups of any kind…
Well, any NOT but…2 types.
We’ll keep in mind the chinese + an indian buffett in Notting Hill Gate.
STILL LEMONADE …remember to buy it at M & S because the japanese in the park had it this morning and I think that can be great when you are thirsty!
21/7/2001
Wagamama Kensington High str.
This is the nicest place to eat. Good food. A mix between thai, jap and chinese. Noodles.
24 £
I wanna try the noodles. We are going to see the movie BRIDGET JONES’DIARY . Going to see a movie in London is not cheap..£ 8.20! They put us in the 2nd row but will somebody arrives? Because otherwise I will move! Amo hates people eating pop-corn in the cinemas.
We should see, while we are here:
1. WARWICK CASTLE
2. LONDON MARYLEBONE (and why I decided to visit it is still a mystery - Friday, August 24, 2001)
Oh, No…you know what? Marylebone it is the station where you can catch the train to Warwick..how stupid I am!
Udu drove us to his new place. We passed by DULWICH that is like a small little village with the oldest art gallery open to the public! He (Udu) lives in Lewisham, or close by. SE London.
Catford. We drove all along London, I think, to arrive back home. Park Lane, Regent Park, The City – saw Monument (always guessed what was!) Bank of England (designed by the man Soane , we visited the house). Probably it was another building of the Bank…this is newer.???? Can be..I am not an historical person.
Passed by Banca Intesa (empty area on a sunday) Guy’s Hospital, did the bridge.. London is huge!
Is not trendy as Clapham but the new house of the famous lawyer is really nice. Newly redecorated by the previous owner ( a lady, you can tell from the colours), has new paper on the walls in the true country style, new carpet and a french window to go in the backyard. The garden is now well kept (but as I suppose that Udu is more busy with the girls than with the lawn-machine…soon won’t be so nice anymore.
OXFORD
We went to Oxford to meet my pal Sarah. She looks like a swedish.I had imagined her as a tall, strong and tough girl but she is blond, petite, skinny and really pretty. How stupid this Andrew to split up with her! We took a tour and the roof of the double decker’bus ( £ 8 each) and after that we walked along the colleges. We had a quick lunch at the COVERED MARKET in a small cafè and saw the Magdolen'Bridge, Christchurch College with the Mercure fountain (from the outside, those bloody english are always charging!! ) Sarah works at the Green College. Balliol is close to the oldest bookstore – Blackswell’s – (from the name of the family that owns it). By the way, it was busy today in Oxford. A small delegation of “not-wanted” in Genoa was there. I can tell we had our private G8’ day. Sarah was shy and the conversation was not…fluent but she is a nice girl and I am sure that next time we will talk a lot more. I noticed that between english people is really on fashion to change the covers of the mobiles.
Sarah took us to see the “round library”, the theatre (round) – I remembered that. The train ticket was £ 15,30 return each . Can you believe that? We had no cash so it was hard to find a machine that was selling with the credit card. Despite from the other times I went to the UK now sounds hard to pay with traveller’cheques. The american express point is probably closed (makes office hours).
Why did they changed habits?
WAGAMAMA: it was absolutely brilliant,a mix! We had some dumplings with spinach and prawns + curry chicken + japanese style rice (well, 2 cotolette like mom cooks them!) good smoothies like our frullato made with real fruit and they are nice, kind and they accepted my t /c.
7 people were working on our T/C as sounds hard to deal with them. They were trying to figure out how they were working. BRIDGET JONES’ DIARY . It was amazingly witty. We laughed a lot.I cried because it was romantic. Tomorrow Udu will show us his new house and we’ll have lunch in his place. His mom will cook. His mom wants us there by 2.30 pm. How Paolo will survive? Then we’ll ride the famous JOSIE, Udu’s car, the “main caracter “ of my book.It’s hazardous , we are in a car driven by Udu?
Isn’t that like flying with the small plane on the Grand Canyon?
22/07/2001
Where are the 2 pounds coin gone? I had them yesterday leaving the cinema, I wanted to use them for stamps but the machine outside the post office refused them. I couldn’t find them in my wallet, they are not on the sofa…I turned upside down the racksack…gee!!!!
23/7/2001
Kensington Park e Hyde Park. WALKING. Albert Memorial.
Walked along the Horse Bow (or Row…my memory is short!) the Riding Place.
Rose Garden
Aspley House that was closed on monday. It’s Lord Wellington House and inside is supposed to have wonderful pieces of art that he probably got during the battles.
Walked along Piccadilly then headed to Jermyn Street.
Yes, you can tell that Paolo decided where to go. As this is the street for male clothes + the shop that sells products for the body care. Taylor of Old Bond Street. That’s the name.
Paolo bought some shirts at THOMAS PINK. Visited some shops in Saville Road (there is a great Art Gallery to buy paintings in Burlington Gardens . They would surely be great and elegant in my living room.
Headed to Covent Garden, we had shopping at the GAP. Lunch in a small place called THE BELUSHI’S .
The search for the right coffee it was hard but I did it! Usually here in London a cappuccino is all foam and all coffee but no milk. With the cappuccino of the worst barman in Italy has nothing to do. There’s more coffee than milk all the time, every drink..
Mocha
Latte…
Then today I choose a FRAPPELATTE in CAFFE’ NERO and it was THE ONE. Really good. I was in a cafe’ close to Neal ‘Street. I remember that so clearly even if today, when I am retyping all the journal it’s 2001-08-30 !!! WE walked to find Neal ‘ Yard and visited the famous shop called “Neal’Yard remedies” , that is advertised in every guide you can imagine. Amo shopped more than me. SHIRTS. Thurnbull & Asser is a shop in Jermyn Street – Amo’ suggestion for all the men that like to wear elegant stuff. He also suggests TWICKER for shoes. Amo bought at Harvey & Hudson (Prince Charles makes here his own shirts). We are going to see THE GRADUATE on wed. Evening.
24/7/2001
Ladbroke Rd.
Then up to Notting hill. The Cartonville Touring Club book is WRONG. It has streets that do not exists and the whole PINK section about Notting Hill contains a lot of mistakes. So we bought at the local rejected book shop a AA Book of A-Z London. At least is useful and correct. We finally found Westbourne Grove (by chance!) and saw in Elgin Street the famous Graham Green’ shop. (clothes and design). The clothes are really fancy, cool and colourful. Robertina would love it. SPACE, another shop over rated by guides, has awful furniture that probably Corrado would like. Modern silk bed stuff….
37.80 pounds paid on my Visa Obviously didn't had any cash, i forgot to change the t/c. We had lunch with my frappuccino in the Starbucks while Paolo had his Zinger Tower at KFC. Spicy! Then we dropped the first film of the pictures in Notting Hill gate Snappy...shop and we will see them tomorrow as actually the camera is not working properly so we have to see them before going on with pictures all the time. we went to Chelsea with the bus 28 and I saw again the Sydney Street gardens where I took the photo that is in the back cover of the book. It was quite crowded this afternoon...We saw the fair of Antiques (jewels there were amazing and Paolo also found there the books of 007 that he was looking for and that are now rare but we didn't ask as he says it's too expensive as they are valuable. Walked along Kings street and some young lads saw in a Mercedes Melanie c. of the Spice Girls, so we saw her too. She was driving this compact size Mercedes in silver metallic and it was really a cool car for a woman. Really, I would have loved to have one and drive it in Milan. Classy, clean, easy...but do we have that model back home?
We arrived in Sloane square and went to WHM and guess who was there? Paolo noticed John Major with his wife and 2 bodyguards. He changed the glasses...so today was almost a day full of VIPS to meet. We walked down to Sloane Street and arrived in Knightsbridge. Then went to Harrods just for a stroll in the Food hall and Toy Kingdom. In Kings rd. I had tried on 3 great dresses in L.K. Bennett as they were really cool on me and my shape but one was too large, one too tight in my bad point and the one for the winter that made me looking like Jackie O. was just one size too small and as it was on sale they didn't had all the sizes.
The purse I liked in Karen Miller was 95 pounds and that's too much for me. It was really a nice one but gee, it's expensive and is not even a Gucci bag! Then we took a nap in the afternoon and then Paolo jogged in Hyde Park while I read on a bench. the person in the park are mainly the same. this morning in Kensington church Street I had seen the italian speaking mom with the blond little girl that was yesterday in the park and today the foreigner family with the small girl in the wheel chair was in the same spot as yesterday. Yesterday I had a depressive moment because we already spent 400 pounds in a week here and I am spending too much, we are here again for 1 month...but then, maybe is better to live well as you don't live twice as James bond said. But then again, we do have the house to pay for and the mess we had for the loan is not solved yet...hope Venier will work for me. Gotta go to see Marvita to see how the kitchen affair will go on.
Book Elizabeth George DECEPTION IN HIS MIND I am thinking to go up in Notting Hill Gate and sell the book to the second hand shop as I will never read a crime fiction twice, I already knew who did it! Will they buy it? I took with me probably less $$$$$ than what we need in London, geeeeee it's expensive, I am getting aware now and scared for the cost of life even when we will be back home. the house is tremendously expensive and maybe I better save up. You when you worry for something and as soon as you are alone with your thoughts all will come up? Paolo doesn't seem to worry that much, but I damn do. Gotta go to take a shower as Udu will be here at 7 and we have a movie to see (maybe).I have to write to the TCI when I get home because the cartonville that we bought back home is awful, streets are wrong and we got lost in Notting Hill for that. Now today Amo had found a great book called LONDON WALKS that has aerial views and we are doing them for sure tomorrow. With whom can we start?
Went to Wagamama with Udu as we are into noodles now, it's supposed to be healthy, I hope. News from the law front, the moron of the U.Leader wrote finally to our lawyer and now sounds as even Moreni got hooked to the matter and now the only desire is to won and let the *** of the liar, monkey business thinker of the last partner of my Amo. The company, we hope, with end up full of debts! I hope. And if get some money from that, even better. But to see their business closing down will be just great.
My mom's voice sounded not too well, am I to be worried for their health? Udu got hooked up by a hooker via net and he was interested in meeting her. He was amazed by it and he wanted to show to me all. Robertina wants to take to the office the book. I had told her not to because there are stuff on the princess..oh, gee I am the princess for her!!!! I am worried now. I feel like the writer of Peyton Place! Tomorrow I will call them.
25/07/2001
We woke up at 9 and we went to fetch the laundry at WASH ‘N’ DRY. Mrs. Barbara does it 4 you. Marvita said that she is the wife of Lenn, the former porter here in Vicarage Cort. It seems as Colin rules and nobody likes him.Barbara is really a nice woman. A sweet face. Short blond hair, thick glasses and blue eyes. You see that she’s nice inside. Even here: beware of shop assistants ,customers! Snappy Snaps has a promotion for a photo album with our format (5 X 7 ‘’) and I had to ASK for the album because the clerk hadn’t mentioned it and was not giving to me. They probably imagined that tourists are not able to read the posters.
We went to St. Paul Cathedral. And then we walked to the Tate Modern .
Visited on 5th floor:
Picasso Girl in a chemise
Matisse Nude study in blue
Jean Debuffett The busy life
Rainer
Andy Wharhol the famous portraits of Queen Elizabeth and Elizabeth Taylor
Mondrian (coloured squares)
Mary Richardson of Josie McCoy
Pride of Marielle MacLemon
Armoured Heart of Mitch Griffith (he painted even the veins under the skin)
The Tate Modern was crap. Sorry, maybe I am not an artist and a valid critic but gee,I had seen a couple of nice paintings in a whole ex-power station with 5 floors of exhibition. Well, we didn’t see neither Morandi, not “Arte Povera” but we had enough with the 5th gallery.
NB: TWININGS in Fleet street to buy teas that there are not in Italy. And on the STRAND there is a convenient camera shop. Bargains.
Walked on Blackfriars Bridge. Now Fleet Street. Went to Waterstone and I noted down some books that I would like to read. Keep in Mind
JOHN OLIVER BAYLEY
IRIS AND THE FRIENDS
THE WIDOWER’S HOUSE
Andrew Paterson Separations ( a wide painting on canvas with a man in bed wide window view on a english building) ,I really liked it.
£ 22 dinner.
“The graduate” with Ann Archer was absolutely great. I hadn’t seen the movie – yes, probably the only one! – and I really liked the play. FAB!!!!!
26/7/2001
We had walked in the Park on the side of Bayswater, up to Hyde Park Corner. It was hot, probably the only day that was warm in the whole vacation. No toilets ….
Park Lane up to Apsley House. We wanted to visit Belgravia but it was too hot to walk around.
So we went to drink something (and to find a toilet ) then went down to St. James Street, we had seen St. James Palace, Crown Passage – where the oldest Inn in town is – and Pall Mall.
Today we used the card for a free Frappuccino in the Starbucks. Tony was a fan of the frappuccino in NY 2 summers ago and gee, it’s simply great! I am sad to leave Mr. R.’place. I felt like home there. We slept almost all the late afternoon, Amo didn’t even went to jog today. The heat had been terrible. I was sweating! No shade! And Belgravia was a real walk along houses…and the sun at 2 pm was probably too strong to visit a place where I couldn’t see a cafe’ in the whole area. £ 6,16 for the telephone calls. We are no pennyless in our pockets, we have to change some T/C. I wanna go to sell the crime book in the second hand book shop in Notting Hill but I am kinda shy.
27/7/01
In the evening we walked up to Notting Hill Gate where I had found the blue house where Hugh Grant lived in the movie.Sounds like the best part of the area, is not close to Portobello where we walked the other week . Going toward Holland Park you really find the best houses! We walked through to arrive to the cinema where Udu was expecting us. SWORDFISH.
Well we are now in JERSEY (28/7/2001)
We had lunch at the OLD COURT HOUSE INN. We seated in a wooden conservatory, for Amo fish and chips and for me timbale of smoked salmon and aspargus. The old inn is at St. Aubin Harbour that is the closest village to the hotel where we are. It was one of the older buildings. It’s HOT. We walked along the village. The sea doesn’t seem too clean and swimming sounds hard. TIDES.
Tomorrow we are going to Jersey and you know that I miss London already? I had called Robertina but she is not calling me back. Maria was busy and so I had called Sonia. But Robertina didn’t called me back and I am worried that she will let read to everybody my book. You know that is almost TOP SECRET! No signals of her at 4.30 pm.
Printing the pictures is not cheap here. And why did I? It’s £ 10 for 24 prints ( 13 the other day for 36). This morning we took the TUBE to Warwick ve. & went to Little Venice. We walked around following the “Book of walks” we bought. I remembered one spot from where we went with Paola. Amo liked there because it’s a residential’area (yes, but then Maida Vale is not all residential!!) Then we walked on our own and we arrived in Edgware RD. (really popular) and we fecthed a # 6 bus that was supposed to go to Marble Arch & Oxford Circus. Hell NO, it was going up North in a terrible place (Willesden) where cinemas have the indian movies, spoken in indian! It was neither a short trip. You pass through acceptable places and suddenly ugly. Like the last stop of the bus. Thanks God it was passing by our dear # 52 that drove us back to Notting Hill , Ladbroke Rd, and leaded us to our door. I took Rasberry Mocha Chip Cream Frappuccino today.
700 types of Cappuccinos and none of them taste like our.
Afternoon….sleeping. |
