About Bloody Time

We finally had our official "welcome to London" event today. We were supposed to picnic in Kensignton Gardens, but it was raining so we wound up at a pub in Notting Hill Gate called The Champion. In attendance were: Kevin (a friend of Tim Schreck from SF); Philip, Peter and their pal Luke (Kath & Philip became friends when they both worked at Wunderman); Tim Warmath (Tim & Ned - who was in bed - are friends of Max from SF, and also friends of Kevin somehow); Rachel, Suzette's sister; and Kath (Craig is in SF). We had bloodies. We had nibbles. We had beer. We had Sunday Roast. Then we walked through Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park (the weather had cleared) to The Blue Bar, where we were joined by Eric and David (Steven & I met Eric in Istanbul) for cocktails and more nibbles. After that, Kath accompanied Steven and me to Automat for dinner. Here is the only evidence of the day's proceedings:
Espresso Martinis, etc.
