Oxford Street

I took the bus today which was cool! It took about 45 minutes to get to Oxford Street where we were supposed to go shopping. It's cool to be in a London double decker, it's the perfect way to do some sight-seeing and navigation at the same time. I loved it! We had coffee at Starbucks and then went separate ways. I. and A. went to buy a drum kit, A.'s latest gadget. We went looking for clothes... I found two new dresses but they don't fit very well so I need to adjust them. A. didn't really like them so I hope he will after I've changed them... He'd better!

We met up after a few hours and had a drink in the tiniest pub I've ever been to so far. We then took a cab and went to Borough Market near London Bridge. Borough Market is grateful for the coverage it regularly receives through the press, radio and television. The market has also become a special favourite amongst celebrity chefs. You can always spot a famous face amongst the crowd! I didn't see Jamie though, he must have been in bed with a hangover... emoticons/wink.gif

It is a really nice market! Fresh vegetables, fruit, fish and we even found my favourite Belgium beer: "Rochefort" which was way too expensive [over £3,- per bottle] but A. bought a few anyway. I finally found pecan nuts so I have some on stock. It was very hard to find them but I know now where to get them from. We then had lunch at Wright Brothers Oyster and Porter House. We had to wait for our seats for quite a long time but the food was worth waiting for! While we were waiting A. ordered a bottle of champagne to celebrate moving to the UK, his new job and my emigration... I never had shrimps like that before: so creamy and full of flavour! The others had oysters as well but I didn't eat them. I don't really like them to be honest. That champagne was good: I was totally tipsy after only two glasses...

We took a cab to I. and C.'s place to chill, cook dinner and watch a movie. Saw 'The Butterfly Effect' again, very good movie. A. has been playing on his new gadget all evening. I have to admit it's really cool! It has been a wonderful day!!!

ME? I don't think so... tsk, pffft....]

Indulgence: English full breakfast once in a while when not counting calories, Indonesian fried rice and a Sateh [Nasi Goreng] like my great grandma used to make, Thai Tom Ka Kai or Thai Green Curry Noodle soup original traditional recipes, definitely a peaty Islay Scotch preferably shared with my best friends in Scotland [Inge and Frank] and a Dutch coffee when I'm in Amsterdam with a piece of Dark Chocolate!
