Out & About

Instead of searching for an eyebrow merkin as Kath suggested, I tried to get a few errands done today. Leaving home and heading for Westbourne Grove in Notting Hill, the first thing one passes is the terrace filled with Chanel-clad lunching ladies at Julie's. That's where I saw Alan Cumming last time and where you tell your driver to take you if you want to get to our house without any extra explaining. Up a little hill and around Steven's church one passes Annie Lennox's place:

Annie's place

Stopped by the post office on ("in") Westbourne Grove to collect 3 packages for Steven, but one of them (from his mom) had already been sitting there for 3 weeks so they sent it back. Then I went to Fresh & Wild for organic rice milk, organic black currant yogurt, organic muscovado sugar -- you know, the usual stuff. I thought muscovado sugar was going to be like brown sugar, but in fact it's like crystalized molasses. Can't wait to put some on my oatmeal -- excuse me, my "porridge". Also stopped at Tesco Metro for some basics, picked up a copy of Loot (where I hope to find a cheap used bicycle), got a shepherd's pie and some Neal's Yard cheddar at Lidgate the butcher, contact lens solution at the "chemist" (I have to wear contacts so I can cover the missing brow with aforementioned gigantic sunglasses). I wonder how fast eyebrow hairs grow?
