What I Did In London

On Thursday I went to London.

When I got off the train the other end, I jumped in a cab. I took a picture of Big Ben

and then I checked in to my hotel to find that I was possibly in The Shining, or Doctor Who

and then I hopped into another taxi and I headed to the wonderful Belgravia Books for the launch of Steve Stack’s ‘21st Century Dodos‘. Which was brilliant and all kinds of fun too. The bookshop was brilliant, the author was brilliant, the cake was brilliant, and I got to meet some brilliant people. I even took a (dodgy) picture.

All in all, a brilliant evening.

And then I came home. And edited.

  1. Would you believe it – I’ve just realised you’ve moved. Hmm. Blame it on my being brain dead, plus a few weeks away in Sept…

    Lovely to meet you finally at the Dodo launch!

  2. I really liked 21st Century Dodos. I am glad the launch was a success.

    Also, that is a hilarious photo of the hallway. I would never have stayed there.
