    Went to Science museum and saw the IMAX film about the Hubble Space telescope in 3D. Highly recommended!

    Now trying to decide whether to go to evening service at Westminster Abbey or visit a Soho "walk-up" for a bit of naughty fun..

    Jump on a train to the City.

    Have a stroll along the South Bank. Drink coffee. Relax. Watch the world go by at All Bar One the other side of Tower Bridge, do some nice Tapas nibbles there too.

    Bike ride or go for a run?

    I went for a run yesterday, I think a small tremor was picked up in Guildford.

    Can't be bothered to get the boat out.

    Totally lazy and de-motivated, but need to get out of the house.

    Suggestions please?
    any chance you could pop into London and collect some antique tiles from a supplier in Edmonton & then deliver to Kent.
    It will be like a big day out..

    TIA

Boulougne, when speed ferries were going there. Nice day out, cleansed the pipes too.
