Aw, thanks. :)
Nice to be thought of.

The rain here is special. Nothing dries in this country. Heh. You can put a towel on the towel rack after your shower and come back the next day and IT'S STILL WET. !

10. Thank you!
It is a pretty awesome city, I must say. So much history and culture. I'm only beginning to explore it all. Someone famous said the whole world exists inside of London, and I believe it.

Also, the best Indian food I've EVER had. :D

17. The only food you can eat in the UK
(sorry billyskank). But you can't eat British dishes. They are not eatable.

I love London, even though I've mostly seen only the touristy places. But even those are awesome!!!

15. Middle Schools. I had a moment of weakness.
It was the Taco Bell, seriously.

But, I got apologies from TPTB, so it's all good. :rofl:

14. To tell the truth, I got a real pedicure just before I left, and haven't touched my feet since.
They could probably use a good Egging. :D

24. Totally blew me away.
At some point, I'm pretty sure I would go completely crazy and burn my house to the ground, trying to work in that fine detail.

26. Yup, we're here.
I need to post some more pictures but I've been so freaking busy, I haven't had time to even go through the hundreds I've taken. Finding a place to live in London is a full-time job. :D We're in the flat but still don't have a refrigerator - ARGH.

33. When my daughter was a wee tot
She loved skeletons too and we had this large glow in the dark floppy one you get at Halloween and I hung it up in her room. She called him Mr. Bones and I had to make up stories about him every night. We still have Mr. Bones and hang him out every year.

35. What part of London? It's a big place ...
I used to live in the Surrey Hills... grew up there.

Too expensive too... that's one reason why I ended up here (main reason being... my wife!)

Are you staying for good? If so, maybe get involved poltically locally. But please, steer clear of this Cameron guy... I hear he's no good.

Mark.
