greetings from sunny (!) and mild london. My brief sojourn is just about over, and it's been a good week. Didn't spend too much money, didn't exhaust myself, and can't really remember what the hell I did.

When I was in Australia last spring, I came to the conclusion that Australians consumed more alcohol per capita than any one else I'd observed. I'm revising that opinon after this trip, returning the Brits to their previous first place ranking. Amazing quantities being consumed....especially last Friday, the traditional XMAS holiday party day/night.

Oh, here's something to remember: a lovely lunch at St Johns. We went to the Spitalfields branch for an early lunch Sunday. Full of swells, it was. Not us, mind you.

Ah well, back to the grind tomorrow. Pictures to follow.
