Jul. 2nd, 2006 11:59 amI'm alii~iive! Had an awesome time in London - I've been so often recently, that last night when I got back I felt quite sad to be back in Sheffield. Which makes me feel like a traitor, cos I love Sheffield!
But London was especially awesome this time, because I got to meet![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
shelliroth and yami_tai, who were both great and lovely! We did some nice English things, like pottering in old-fashioned toy shops, having tea (well, I had some tea :9), sweltering on the Tube, visiting the Japan Centre (...er) and forcing Shelley to eat Twiglets and Cadbury's Turkish Delight. We talked about kids' TV and accents and cavemen and all kinds of marvellous (and fannish) things! Had a wonderful time, and looking forward to seeing Emily again at Squeefest! :D
giving_ground very kindly put me up for the night, and we just about managed to watch one disc of Side Fudoumine before falling asleep. Saturday was a gorgeous day, so we spent a while in a nice quiet little park in Russell Square, but we also managed to fit in seeing the gay cup in the British Museum (as well, of course, as the mummies - the mummified kitten was so cute and sad! ;_;). Had a delicious late lunch (best salmon teriyaki I've ever had :9) and spotted random gatherings of Pride Parade people! (I want a rainbow umbrella!) We found an amazing tea shop where I bought, amongst other things, some Sailor's Tea (it has rum in it! XD). We also had ice cream from the Ben & Jerry's shop, and huddled round a cafe window to watch England lose to Portugal on penalties. -_-
I'm so glad I have a day off before I have to go back to work - I'm gonna need it to recover from the fangirling! ^^' I also have the Princess Princess drama to watch, and hopefully Takumi's DVD too. Not to mention the International Market is still in town~!
...But for now, I need a cuppa. :9
