Had to take ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sarka to the train station this morning and got a little weepy after. I am so so *so* glad we finally got together, after six years of knowing each other on LJ. I wish the world were smaller so I could see my loved ones more often.
We went to the British Library on Sunday and had a wonderful time looking at all the old manuscripts, the Magna Carta, sheet music scribbled on by famous composers, the Gutenberg bible, etc, etc, etc. All those things that make writers and bibliophiles weak in the knees. It was wonderful. I splurged and bought a copy of a nice reprint of the handwritten first version of "Alice's Adventures Underground" (bringing my number of "Alice in Wonderland" copies to a total of five) and was also talked into "Beadle the Bard."
Then, in the HP spirit of things, we went and took pictures at King's Cross Platform 9 3/4. Silly geeky fun at it's best. :)
Husband and I hit Harrods this morning, which was overwhelming and mind boggling. #500 for a rabbit-fur coat for a 6-month old? #200 for a doggie sweater with the "Juicy" logo? #950 for six ounces of caviar? #3000 for a pen? (We decided for that much money - and no, that's not a typo, that's three THOUSAND pounds - the pen really ought to write the best-selling novel for you.) We kept our purchases to the food markets - 3 tins of tea for ourselves and some gifts for family.
I am still sick with a cold and tired and drained. I think I'm going to take it easy the rest of today and tomorrow, until we get on the train in the evening to see go up and spend Christmas withdissonant_dream.
OH - we finally saw "Merlin" last night and nearly died of squee. Those aren't homosexual undercurrents so much as TOTALLY UNDENIABLE TSUNAMIS! I am smitten. Smoot.
*smooch*
