yes i'm pleased they won and so quickly, as long as i don't have to watch it. I work next the Oval and trying to get home after a hard days work while several thousand people who have just watched the cricket do the same isn't fun.

hiya sweetie
glad to see you had a good weekend...it was odd not being with you at slimes but i still had a good time...how did everything go
all i can suggest about london and boredom is that many of the leading art galleries are free...the national portrait gallery has/had a really good exhibition called the BP awards which is good for modern portraiture
the tate britain has a really good exhibition of bridget riley works but you have to pay for it but its definatly worth it
hope thats helpful
miss you sweetie
