Today we went in to look at Westminster Abbey and the Houses of Parliament. We couldn't get into Westminster Abbey because a Bishop was getting ordained or some such thing and it was invitation only. We tried to get into the Houses of Parliament but couldn't get in there either. The lady at the agte said we should see our local MP to organise a tour but I dont think that will work for us. So we walked along the river which is not very picturesque.
We caught a red double decker bus (we got the front seat up the top) to Oxford Circus, which isn't a circus at all. It is THE shopping distrct in London and I could have spent a week there but I dont think Adrian would have been so keen. To any ladies reading, the colours for next Summer are bright, all the coolours I love like watermelon, turquoise, and hot pink. I bought a dress for my daughter, Nicky's wedding. It cost me a fortune but I love it and at least I know that noone else will have the same dress as me.
It is pretty hot. I think we brought the drought with us becasue it hasn't even looked like raining and it si sunny all the time, not what I expected. It is funny because when you get on the train, the announcer says that everyone should carry a bottle of water with them and watch for heat stroke. Man, how would they cope with Australia. But nothing is airconditioned, so the trains can get pretty hot.
Anyway, we are off to Wimbledon to catch a bit of tennis.
