It is odd how things that once seemed out of bounds for me now seem routine. Like girlfriends and solo rail travel. This occurred to me yesterday as Lyn and I walked through Greenwich park, up to the observatory overlooking the Thames. never before had London looked quite so beautiful.

Its been a great weekend. I had my first proper taste of make-up, which ruled, and then Lyn had her first taste of margarita! I frightened the living daylights out of two girls in a car: we were walking along and they pulled up, and I heard they were playing the car song by the cat empire, singing along. There was no time to type, so I raised my hands and tried to say ‘cat empire rule’. They didn’t understand, but looked petrified. Mind you, I was in a dress, so they may have been confused. Whahahaha! What fun!

Apart from meeting Ricardio at Euston, the other details are either private or boring. I have, however, mastered the trains, so now I want to go everywhere. Steve, can you still put me up in edinborough?
