So, today I finally got to talk to Colin on the phone. We haven't talked since the first day that I got here and it was so incredibly wonderful to hear his voice. I swear I was on cloud 9 for about an hour after I got off the phone.
I woke up later than usual (8:20) and opted out of walking the girls to school with Vanessa. Instead, I stayed home and took a much needed shower and headed out into the rain. Today was the first rainy day since I've been here, and knock on wood, it soon goes away. I went to the Victoria & Albert Museum and checked out the zillions of artifacts that have been collected over time. The fashion exhibit was especially interesting to me. Some of the dresses were so elaborate and had the most intricate details. I realize how un-glamorous I am when I see what people used to wear. The closest I get to formal is a skimpy cocktail dress at a sorority formal.
As if to add to the feeling of frump, I decided to walk over to Harrods. Talk about glitz and glam! The day I spend 250pounds ($500) on a sweater for my dog, is the day she starts talking! I have never seen so many designer labels in one vicinity. Entire rooms full of Gucci, Versace, Prada, Burberry.
I've included some photos from the trip so far...enjoy.
