There seems barely enough time to fit in writing this blog as so much is happening.......... it's an interesting exercise to get enough of a jist of what is going on without becomeing utterly boring with the details...... Saturday decided to go to Canary Wharf to do some Xmas shopping so went to catch the riverbus from the Hilton.... but alas as we were heading up the covered walkway to the jetty the boat was pulling away, but then it seemed to hesitate and we realised it was going into reverse! It was coming back for us!!! It actually reversed back to the jetty as we ran laughingly to greet the boatman! Amazing indeed, certainly like no other form of public transport in London!

After shopping had a bit of a clothes trying on session and discovered or should I say rediscovered the mini skirt!!! Bought the appropriate black tights and now have something else to break up the monotony of jeans wearing!! and it is really comfortable too which did come as rather a surprise...... so headed off to party saturday night and met interesting people again ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh can one ever tire of this I wonder???????

Sunday was particularly lazy, well we didn't get back until 6 am so the day was spent sleeping and eating the ubiquitous full english breakfast... the evening brought the best bit of the weekend as we headed to the Astoria to see the benefit gig for Shelter. First act the Scissor Sisters were excellent, with a fascinating and eminently watchable vocalist!! hmmmm quite delightful.. then came Mary-topless-bird ...not so good but it gave a bit of time to chat, look around, buy beers, queue for the loo sort of thing.... the other acts were first class, Cooper Temple Clause -exceptionally loud, Frank from Travis did a perfect little unplugged set, think my favourite was Graham Coxon, very loud and very early punk, almost reminiscent of The Undertones... evening finished off by The Music with a very ugly lead vocalist that sounded so like an early Robert Plant it was scary.. a good evening indeed
