In the morning we woke late to find T still there, even though the plan had been for her to leave early. Shenanigans with trains meant that she had decided to drive to Birmingham. So we breakfasted together-cereal and croissants with bergamot and Seville jam for normal people; Marmite for L-and then left for Birmingham. N drove with T; I drove with

Other than the directions, Ordeals, slow elevator and the construction this sounds like a pretty awesome day. The Birmingham Library is gorgeous, though that owl statue reminds me of the mechanical owl from "Clash of the Titans." I had no idea there even was a Cadbury World but the weird rides and that giant bag o' chocolate have piqued my interest.

"...and L had an Earl Grey tea, which they labeled “EGT” and that was basically my favorite thing I’d seen so far in England."

Oh that's lovely!

I didn't even know that Cadbury World was a thing. *drools* Also, just imagine Eames and Arthur visiting it. Eames would lose it.
EAMES: Darling, how would you feel about a rain forrest at home?
ARTHUR: I don't think it's-
EAMES [on the vibrating bench]: Look at me! I'm a cocoa bean!
ARTHUR: Yes, I see, you-
EAMES: OH MY GOD THEY HAVE A PHALLIC CACTUS. Do you think we could-
ARTHUR: No.

HAHAHAHA EAMES WOULD LOVE CADBURY WORLD SO MUCH!

I luv Flake bars! But there's too much sugar in the creme eggs these days.

Also, we saw the library on one of those top 10 buildings shows. It looked rather funky. :)
