We met up with S. and M. and the girls today. It was really nice to seem them again. We met up at the Natural History Museum and had a lovely time there. Amazing building, so beautiful! And all the things inside where cool as well. We only had time to see the things on the ground floor and so we will have to come back to explore the other floors which have exhibitions of creepy crawlers [yeah spiders and such] and other bugs. Plants etc. Unfortunately my favourite section was closed for maintenance and will be opened in 2009. Guess I’m stuck here in London till 2009 at least because I can’t wait to see that exhibition! It’s the Darwin Centre with a wide range of bottled specimens… Absolutely cool!!!
We had a great time today and I took some amazing pictures! These can be found in the gallery soon, I will put a link on here as soon as they’re ready… I think we will come back again to visit the other floors of the museum because there were many more minerals to see and more bugs. I reckon I will take some more pictures then as well…

Oxford Street
I took the bus today which was cool! It took about 45 minutes to get to Oxford Street where we were supposed to go shopping. It’s cool to be in a London double decker, it’s the perfect way to do some sight-seeing and navigation at the same time. I loved it! We had coffee at Starbucks and then went separate ways. I. and A. went to buy a drum kit, A.’s latest gadget. We went looking for clothes… I found two new dresses but they don’t fit very well so I need to adjust them. A. didn’t really like them so I hope he will after I’ve changed them… He’d better!
We met up after a few hours and had a drink in the tiniest pub I’ve ever been to so far. We then took a cab and went to Borough Market near London Bridge. Borough Market is grateful for the coverage it regularly receives through the press, radio and television. The market has also become a special favourite amongst celebrity chefs. You can always spot a famous face amongst the crowd! I didn’t see Jamie though, he must have been in bed with a hangover… 
It is a really nice market! Fresh vegetables, fruit, fish and we even found my favourite Belgium beer: “Rochefort” which was way too expensive [over £3,- per bottle] but A. bought a few anyway. I finally found pecan nuts so I have some on stock. It was very hard to find them but I know now where to get them from. We then had lunch at Wright Brothers Oyster and Porter House. We had to wait for our seats for quite a long time but the food was worth waiting for! While we were waiting A. ordered a bottle of champagne to celebrate moving to the UK, his new job and my emigration… I never had shrimps like that before: so creamy and full of flavour! The others had oysters as well but I didn’t eat them. I don’t really like them to be honest. That champagne was good: I was totally tipsy after only two glasses…
We took a cab to I. and C.’s place to chill, cook dinner and watch a movie. Saw ‘The Butterfly Effect’ again, very good movie. A. has been playing on his new gadget all evening. I have to admit it’s really cool! It has been a wonderful day!!!
