I love London bullet post

Some reasons why I love London:

• Shoes, even at full price, are half the price of Norwegian ones. (I bought two pairs today.)
• People here are NICE.
• I bought some new glasses today, at a shop I had been to maybe 6 years ago. 
• The guy REMEMBERED me. Not only did he remember me, he remembered the glasses I bought, that I live in Oslo and that I am from Texas. Holy crap!
• I love my new glasses.
• I love people who love nerdy glasses. We are the blind, the proud, the nerdy!
• Today I saw a huge, manly, beefy tattooed guy standing outside a pub drinking...rosé. Real Men Drink Pink!
• Right after that, I went into a take away sushi place and there was another big burly tattooed guy buying a little sushi plate. 
• My sushi plate was bigger than his. Heh. 
• I like British guys, they live how they want and don't care what people think.
• They look great in suits too. 
• This hotel has the best bar ever. 
• Cozy, small, posh but comfortable. 
• Fabulous clientele (all in nerd glasses, so I fit right in) 
• Friendly staff. 
• Had lunch with my aunt and uncle today.
• I gave my aunt the ancient and HUGE family atlas that my grandparents had given me.
• She's the family historian so it seemed right to do so. 
• Also I don't have kids to hand it down to.
• She loved it. 
• That thing weighs a good 14 lbs. 
• A right bitch to carry in my suitcase.
• BUT I can buy stuff to take its place so yeay. 
• Anyhow, we went to a place called Delaunay, on Aldwych, a Viennese style restaurant. 
• It was REALLY good. 
• One of the best schnitzels I have ever had. 
• It was listed in this week's Time Out as one of the 100 places you have to eat in London.
• It started raining hard while we were eating. 
• I literally squelched through London today.
• Totally wore the wrong shoes. Little sandals?
• My feet were wet in seconds and, well, I squelched. 
• The shoes leaked dye or something and the soles of my feet are purple. 
• I hope that comes off. I don't want purple feet.
• So for dinner I had a little hotel room picnic on the floor consisting of my takeaway sushi and a glass of rosé from the bar downstairs. 
• Now I am going to watch Sunday's episode of Mad Men.
• I read what happened on Jezebel (damned spoilers) but I still can't believe it. 
• Tomorrow I wander some more, and then this weekend I will go visit some friends in Leamington Spa.
• I am going to be brave and not bring my laptop. 
• Yes, I am going MacCommando (ie, sans Mac.)
• Wish me luck.
