we made it!

Yay! I'm in London! Just a quick update tonight since we're on limited time and I wasn't organized enough to write up a post of LJ before we got to the internet cafe (Satrbucks - yuck!). The flight was ok and yet also hellish, the cab ride from Heathrow was 70 pounds, and the flat is the tiniest place I've ever stayed outside of a camping trip. But we're here and people have those lovely accents and there is tea EVERYWHERE and yay! We went to the British Museum yesterday, which was great. We walked - things aren't as far as I'd thought they would be.

The downsides are the blisters from new shoes, the fact that we both have head-colds, and that neither of us are adjusting well to the time change.

On the other hand, I woke up at 5 AM and wrote the kinky ficlet I owe mercyisme from start to finish.

Today was a dead-day, as our bodies demanded rest in order to get over the cold. Fruit is abundant, but I could use some veggies. I guess we'll go to the market (Sainbury's - ? Something like that) *again* - I think we've gone 4 times in 2 days.

Tomorrow we're going to the Tate and making some concrete plans for day-trips and theater. Although today was a bit of a waste, it also feels like a *vacation* rather than a whirlwind 100 miles a minute tour, and that's definitely a good thing.

Will be updating every few days, probably, but also probably not having time to answer emails of any length.

Anyone interested in betaing a kinky Eric/Orlando/Karl threesome? ;)

*smooch* Miss you all!

If would prefer, not too sure how much it costs but you can get the heathrow express from Paddington, or the tube to Heathrow, which will cost you a fiver each but would mean lugging your luggage.

[salixbabylon.livejournal.com]

We will definitely do that on the way home! :) See you tomorrow! (OH - Ivy is reserved for 5:45 PM) Yay!

[soar38.livejournal.com]

Like you have to ASK??? Send it on over, lady. I've only got one more day of triple shifts and then I'll have time for such things.

[salixbabylon.livejournal.com]

You know, we've not *had* tea yet, as in the meal or treats with the beverage. Must remedy that soon, diet be damned.

Fic coming your way in a few minutes! *smooch* Thank you for offering! (Hope the break in work is good thing.)

Hey, you got in safely! I'm so glad. Have a fantastic holiday. I can't wait to see pictures and hear stories about it. And think of us on the 10th... when we're stalking watching celebs at the TIFF.

*hugs*

[salixbabylon.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :) We are having a great time, seeing tons and being tourists in general. I should post an update coon, although I can't inflict any pictures until we get home and can upload them.

*anticipating envying you already* :)

[lozateazer.livejournal.com]

Glad you're having a great time! Mm... tea. :) And theatre/Ewan. :D And... threesomes XD!!

[salixbabylon.livejournal.com]

Tea, theater, threesomes -- the holy trinity of slashers! :)

[lozateazer.livejournal.com]

Really? I would have expected kink to be in there. Well, I guess that threesomes count for that ;)

Mm, can you imagine a place where they serve tea and have groups of three men bump and grind to showtunes? I know I'd go.

On the other hand, I woke up at 5 AM and wrote the kinky ficlet I owe [info]mercyisme from start to finish.

YAY! For the ficlet, not for you waking up so early. I can't wait to read it.

Hope you'll have tons of fun in the UK.

[salixbabylon.livejournal.com]

:) I hope it satisfies your kinky E/O/K needs, although sadly, they weren't dressed long enough for turtlenecks... Maybe next time.

:)

[sileya.livejournal.com]

Glad you're having a great time.

Eric/Orlando/Karl?? I am THERE. xxoo

[salixbabylon.livejournal.com]

*giggle* Thanks - will send it on over ASAP. :)

[govannen.livejournal.com]

Sainbury's - ? Something like that
Very close - it's Sainsbury's. :D Glad to hear you're having such a good time!

:) Thank you! London is a bit overwhelming, but quite enjoyable.
