Catch-Up I

Picture Dorothy oiling the Tin Man. I'm feeling a bit rusty boys & girls. When last we blogged it was October and Lauren was visiting. Here are some random shots that have been maturing in various digital formats since then:
Persian market, Kensington High Street
Tiny booze delivery wagon
Steven & LB, Seven Dials
Blind person rappelling down CentrePoint
Blue Room cocktails w/ Brian & Lauren
One garnish tier already consumed...

Venice:
Flag on back of airport taxi
Palazzo window
Another palazzo
You know, that bridge
Cafe
A few more venice pics from regular camera coming soon.

Back in London...
Somerset House, near LSE (fountains now covered by ice rink)
Post Office Calendar
Portobello Market stall
Where Bill Clinton was sitting while Steven & I were having lunch at Automat
Tea at Yauatcha

Up For Air!

So I've got a couple weeks with only a pile of research to do, two papers to write, and a million books to read -- a breather! Quick update: Steven and I are settling in to our new pad, which is in the shadow of the Trellick Tower, right across the street from Stella McCartney Ltd. at ninety-seven Golborne road in London. Our post code is W ten (space) five NL. Home phone (with a functioning answering machine!) is (dialling from the US) zero one one, four four, 203 (brand new exchange for London) 235 double-0 19 (I'm not typing out the numbers so as to avoid being "scrubbed" and then getting junk mail & calls)... Anyhow, no photos just yet, as the iBook has died once again. This time it's actually good news, because instead of replacing the logic board (whatever that is) for the umpteenth time, Apple is replacing the tired old 30 gig G3 with a brand new 40 gig G4! Supposedly it'll be in on Friday, but this being England, I'm not holding my breath. If our BT Broadband connection at home actually works (which supposedly it will tomorrow), I'll try to post some pics this weekend. Cheerio 'til then! xoxo
