bears, beets, battlestar galactica.

sublime afternoon at st. james's park



well hello again!

ms. anna came to visit me from madrid this past week, so we've been too busy gallivanting around londontown and watching nine thousand episodes of the office (us) and six feet under in my tiny twin bed for me to update the bliznog.

FACT: i've been best friends with anna for ten years now, and it wasn't until mid-way through college that i learned that she has naturally (beautifully!) curly hair. she straightened her hair so crazily religiously all thru high school that i had NO IDEA she didn't have straight hair until like 6 years into our friendship. that shit baffles me.

omg so anyway! our fun.

We walked everywhere and saw everything. Except for Evensong because neither St. Paul's nor Westminster Abbey had it due to Easter weekend.

Kira-led Tourist Itinerary ran as such: Peter Doig exhibit at the tate britain (again), borough market, tate modern, embankment, oxo tower, camden markets, fish 'n' chips, st. james's park, green park, hyde park, westminster abbey (managed to sneak into poet's corner after closing time, whee!), high tea, eating at my favorite restaurants & drinking at my favorite pubs. and more, but i'm in a hurry to go see the new Lars von Trier film at the ICA right now so more later.

This will pretty much never get old.

scones & rosehip tea at The Orangery at Kensington Palace. sssssooooo gooooood.

between buckingham palace & green park, eerily quiet for a monday
