London baby London!

this past 2 weeks have been gloriously grand and relaxing. i've been around London in a red double-decker bus, sailed on the River Thames under the London Bridge, jostled people in Harrods, strolled around Greenwich Village, went to a christmas concert in an old anglican church, attended a posh party in Oxford in sports shoes and jeans, sat down to a beautifully laid table and dined with millionaires who are marathon runners, pigged out on chocolates and put on loads of weight. ahhh...life.

i saw SHEEP whilst on the train! black-faced sheep, white-faced sheep, ponies, cows et cetera. so exciting to see sheep for the first time it is. indeed it is.

Tower of London. didn't get to go in. shucks. I sailed past Traitors' Gate on the River Thames though. note the name-dropping. heehee

Westminster Abbey. ooo ahh ooo ahh

You'd think Buckingham Palace would be impressive but i wasn't that impressed. I bet Queen E could build a more grandiose palace if she chooses. weird. got to see it by night too, and it was more romantic looking then, with all the street lights.

Trafalgar Square. loads of icky poo pigeons.

i did the touristy thing and hopped on a double decker tourist bus. costs 19quid. i didn't pay so oh wells! glee. Eaton Square, one of the poshest places in London, where all the celebs live. eg. Maggie Thatcher, Sean Connery, Mad Onna.....

my fav scene is Houses of Parliament, or else termed the Palace of Westminster. i got to see it all lit up by night too!

i love London. next stop....Paris! nyehehe
back to reality--> Salford. sighhhhh

ps. i didn't take the piccies. googled 'em. camera far too bulky. heeee.

think warm.

just a coupla photos before i head further down south to Leicester where hopefully there is a big fireplace waiting for me. I need a furnace, badly. Its so freezing cold here in Manch, -3degrees today! can't keep warm. heehee, am waiting for good lunches and dinners and teas next week. hohoho...food. i'm constantly hungry nowadays. the trappings of winter. must not get fat. must not! Christmas is coming.... anyhoo, do admire my cooking. feel free.

paris when it sizzles

me is rethinking that paris trip. might not be such a fantastic idea after all. have exams right after christmas. sighssssss....exams always bite you in the backside. on the bright side though, would really love to see England during christmas. lights, bells, stars, glitters, roast lamb, baked potatoes, snow, hot chocolate, sitting by the fire ...mmmm....heheh.


Psalm of the day: Psalm 24. King of Glory!
1. The earth is the Lord's & everything in it,
the world and all who live in it.
2. for He founded it upon the seas & established it upon the waters.
3. Who may ascend the hill of Elohim?
Who may stand in His holy place?
4. He who has clean hands & a pure heart,
who does not lift his soul up to an idol, or swear by what is false.
5. He will receive blessing from Elohim
and vindication from God his Saviour.
6. Such is the generation of those who seek Him,
who seeks Your face, oh God of Jacob.
7.Lift up your heads, O you gates,
be lifted up you ancient doors,
that the King of Glory may come in.
8. Who is this King of Glory?
The LORD strong and mighty,
the LORD mighty in battle.
9. Lift up your heads, O you gates,
lift them up, you ancient doors,
that the King of Glory may come in.
10. Who is this King of Glory?
The LORD Almighty,
He is the King of Glory.
