London ho!

I had the most hectic day yesterday. Considering I spent 5 hours of it sitting on a train doing nothing, I didn't seem to stop all day. It didn't start off too badly though; my appointment at Charing Cross was at 3.30 and the train wasn't till 12 so I didn't have a mad rush round to get ready. I even had time to write a post before I left! I

Such a busy day! Iffy sounds absolutely lovely. What a breath of fresh air. I'm so glad she was willing to work with you on your shot schedule and actually do minor things over the phone - welcome to the 20th century, Charing Cross. It's about time. Maybe one of these days you'll join us here in the 21st - we have cookies! (From Hummingbird Bakery!)

Yay for running into friends in the library, and yay for seeing Ben and getting a nice birthday chai latte, but poo to Geoff! Why must he always have the day off when you go to London? I think he does it on purpose because he's afraid of having that much awesome in his little radio studio. *tuts at him* You'll have to try again when you go back down.

Hummingbird Bakery looks wonderful, but it's terrible that Google Maps was a flaming stinky liarpants. You'll have to consult with non-flaming-stinky-liarpants-types and see if you can find it next time! Please get me a cupcake.

I'm not surprised you felt sick and dizzy after those train rides, but I'm hugely impressed that you weren't a whole lot sicker riding the train like that after having Burger King! (What did you get?) I'll never forget my backwards ride on the green line after having McDonald's one New Year's Day. And that wasn't even a Pendolino train, nor nearly as long a journey!

I'm so glad you took today off and I hope you got lots of good rest, and I hope you're feeling much better and that you're feeling even better still tomorrow.

I was not impressed with Geoff either! But on the plus side, I now have Nelson's contact details for the future ;)

Did you see the prices of the cupcakes?! I wasn't even sure if they would be worth it.

There wasn't much choice of food that I could get at the station. I'd already had a sandwich for my dinner so I didn't really want another one and the only other thing I vaguely fancied was a pasty but the queue was huge. I got the chicken royale. Don't forget there's bugger all choice for chicken stuffs at BK here compared to the US menu. It's either that or the chicken nuggets.

Hee. That will make it easier the next time!

I'd pay £1.75 for a really good cupcake! Not all the time, but as a treat.

Aw, poo to lack of choice. And double poo to BK and its lack of chicken-based choices. The chicken royale is very tasty though! I've only had it a few times but I quite liked it.

Hungry now, but it's bedtime. :(

Provided the cupcake was like Costco sized, I suppose it wouldn't be a bad price.

The chicken royale is okay. On the US menu, it's called the original chicken sandwich; I've usually got the Tendercrisp one when I've been in Boston because it's much nicer but we don't have that here. In general I'd rather have KFC because they have the best choice for chicken stuffs but the bite card (which gets me 20% off food/drinks at railway stations) includes BK and not KFC.

[ftmichael]

Silly bite card. *pokes the bite card people* They should give you more choice!

Also, it is snowing. I don't think it's going to accumulate, but it's pretty. Would you like me to send it over?
