And secondly, I need your suggestions. Next week, as you all know, is a long awaited trip to London for TDT, John and myself. The Saturday is going to be spent doing very little after our long trip up. The Sunday is going to be spent during the day, watching the motorsport event where racing returns to Crystal Palace for the first time in nearly 40 years.


On the Sunday evening, we will be getting thoroughly drunk with old school friends. I have to say, I am looking forward to this so much. It'll be nice to compare notes on how our lives have changed. On the Monday, we'll be touring the big smoke itself. The usual thing, Buck House, Tower Bridge, Oxford Street, with a few stops here and there. Dunno about the evening yet.

Now here's my quandry. Those readers local to London or others who know it well might have suggestions. on the Tuesday we're open to ideas. I have said about South Kensington and a museum or two (science, natural history), and maybe Harrods. Or, if the weather's nice, Brighton, which is less than an hour away from where we'll be. Or more locally, a visit to Croydon to see just how much it's changed since I was there. But if you have any ideas, please throw them into the hat. I don't want to be driving more than an hour, and it has to be something all three of us will enjoy. Suggest-o!
