Helloo all!

It has been a while since I am made a typed post, as opposed to a photo post. I have been caught up with Scott's sister Kim being here and playing Tour Guide Barbie - see above. Kim was here for only 6 days, but we tried to squeeze as much in as we could without tiring us out completely. With only six days in a huge city like London, there is no way you will be able to see it all anyway, or even worth trying. You have to be realistic and figure out what you want to see, or what the guest might like to see. :-)

This was the itinerary for the week:
Monday - pick up from Heathrow, lunch with Scott near his work, walked around St Pauls, went to Harrods, Natural History Museum, barbeque for dinner.
Tuesday - British Museum, tour of Egyptian gallery and funerary traditions, shopping in Oxford Street, dinner in Brick Lane
Wednesday - Westminster Abbey, lunch in pub, Cabinet War Rooms, walk to Trafalgar Square, Piccadilly Circus, Leicester Square, London Eye, dinner near Waterloo station.
Thursday - I went to work in the call centre, but Kim and Scott came to my museum to have a look around then went to Greenwich, went to see The Producers in the West End.
Friday - I went to work again, Scott and Kim went to Canterbury.
Saturday - we went to the Tower of London, to Greenwich on a boat, then had pie and mash for dinner.
Sunday - Took Kim to Heathrow.

So there you have it. A busy week, but it was lovely to see Kim. I know it was a little odd for both Scott and Kim as they don't really know each other much anymore. But the week together was a good start in the process of getting to know each other again. I hope they can maintain whatever they got out of the week.

In other news, I am going to be a mentor for one of the new staff. Should be interesting!

In a moment of homesickness, I was thinking about how blessed I am to have parents who love and support me. It doesn't matter how far away they are. I miss them, but I know they are only a phone call away, etc.

:-) Not much else to say really. I am waiting for my contract to turn up in the mail. I have to wait a month or so to get paid, which should be interesting!! ;-)
