London, 18th-20th November 2006
We went down for a long weekend to visit David and meet up with a few others
A promenade by the Thames
Jen's new look
It was fairly windy
Approaching Tower Bridge on the ferry
Tower Bridge
A church
Expensive goodies at Borough Market
Very very expensive goodies at Borough Market
The Tate Modern
Looking down from the balcony in the Tate. Blue jeans appear to be taking over the world - try counting them next time you're in a crowd
This piece was various flags made of sand which then had ants set loose in it to tunnel through and mix it up. Pretty, and a nice idea, but I think the artist might have been expecting a bit more mixing to happen
There were slides installed when we were there, but the queues meant it wasn't really worth having a go
One way to pass the time
Sundown
Dali sculpture
The London Eye
Big Ben
We went to see Avenue Q on Saturday evening. Hilarious, and thoroughly recommended for anyone who ever watched Sesame Street when they were younger
Sunday at the Natural History Museum
A dead lizard
A big dead lizard
A plastic dead lizard. This one is animated and scares children
The museum building is worth seeing in itself
We went to see Tim Minchin perform that night. A very skilled pianist and quite a funny comedian
In the British Museum on Monday
In the Ancient Greece and Rome section
A very pretty clock
A very pretty hog
A very pretty sarcophagus
Some very pretty Egyptian Smurfs
A kind of pretty mumified corpse
And if that lot wasn't pretty enough for you, you could always call one of the numbers posted in this phone box nearby...
