london in a day.
Had a great day yesterday, the weather for the last few days has been sweet. apparently there is a heat wave either here or on the way; all the english are spewing but everyone in our house is stoked. so yesterday was pretty warm, probably close to 30 and it was prefect blue skies, so i decided to go on an open roof bus tour, so its a double decker bus, with the roof cut off, and you get driven round the city seeing all the big well known touristy stuff, and there a guide who also tells you some of the less well known stuff, and you can jump on and off whenever you like. so i was exploring for about 10 hours yesterday, was ace. the first guide i had on my fisrt bus was a bit dodgey, i think she was new, she was like ' we are coming up to mayfair, and thats what it was, it used to be a fair held in may', and i was like, wow, she knows stuff . the second guide i had was irish and really funny, and knew all this random stuff about everywhere, some of it sounded like he was making it up, but he was entertaining non the less. i also saw the hairdresser where princess diana got her hair trimmed, it costs £500 and theres a waiting list for 7 weeks. apparently. i also got off at buckingham palace and saw what i thought could have been the changing of the guard, there was heaps of those dudes with the big, black furry hats marching around with a band playing and stuff, was pretty cool. so i saw all the big things, like trafalgar square, big ben, the london eye, westminster abbey, london bridge(the london bridge is actually pretty normal, the cool bridge is tower bridge-most people get them mixed up) etc. then i met up with 2 girls from camp, and met up with andy after work, and we went out for dinner at this japanese or chinese or something place, was really cool catching up with everyone after not seeing them for 10 months, had a great time, then me and andy just chilled at trafalgar square, looks nice at night and you can see the big ben all lit up in the background. it was cool as, just being there, id seen it on tv so many times, and to be there just hanging out was sweet. great day. hope all is well wherever you are. keep smilin :) andyb

Yeah that would be the changing of the guards, your comment made me laugh out loud, and everyone stared at me in the computer room!- The hats are made from bear skins and are called Busbies [or were- probably artificial now]the guys are called Beefeaters and guard the Queen, and the crown jewels.
Which girls did you meet up with? I'm glad your having a good time.
I met up with derrick yesterday, cos I was finally had some free time, and wanted to pray about camp, as its been on my heart alot recently, so I thought I'd kill two birds with one stone. He said that he'd been in contact with you and Spitti , and that you were considering coming up for a bbq, I'm free on the 18th of June, and I wondered if you could both come up that weekend, cos I'd love to see you both.
As a bribe I can offer you gimp!, my local corner shop has just started selling it, it warmed my heart when I discovered it, and made me think of Spitti, though I know you loved it too!. - My housemate thought I'd gone a little mad, when I brought her attention to the fact by declaring "Wow they're selling gimp"- especially as it was labled "scooby doo", [its not flat, but it works the same], anyway I hope that convinces you to come. York is truely beautiful, its an old walled city, with tudor houses made famous by the vikings. so please come.
Anyway I have got a lot of friends getting married in the next 2 months so I need to go buy presents, and shoes- as I really don't think my trainers will go with my dress!
I'm glad your enjoying the sun, my friend from the carribean is still "wrapping up warm!", he wears a hat constantly and refused to remove his coat yesterday, even though it was well hot. Ah well!
Take care
Love
