Londinium

I just got back form London, my friend Eirlys and I went for the weekend to see our friend Jo. We went on the London Millennium Eye, that was really cool. The queue to get the tickets is inside a building but the queue to get on the pod for the Millennium Eye is out side, and as we go into the building the sky is clear and its fine but when we leave to join the queue outside it's pouring rain! Neither Eirlys nor I had an umbrella or water proofs so we both got soaked. Ironically, but typically as we get on the pod it stops raining. Still so much fun. Before that we tried to get into West Minster Abby but the queue was so long that by the time we got inside the gate it would have been closed. We also walked around the parliament buildings and saw Big Bens home. Eirlys asked me what time it was and I looked at my watch and after I told her and looked ahead of me there was Big Ben, we almost collapsed in a heap of giggles. That night we went to see The Lion King on stage, it was so amazing. The intro made me cry. There was this almost full sized elephant, one person was inside each foot, it was so cool. And there were giraffes that were people on stilts, there hands and feet were strapped to stilts, they were really cool. The whole performance was amazing. Today we took a short boat ride up the themes to West Minster, that only took about 30min and then we went window shopping. The whole weekend went by so fast but it was so much fun.
Tomorrow we will be painting. These past weeks and until students start coming back we will be painting. Last week was touch ups and the common room. The common room use to be yellow and peach (ick) and now it’s a pale almost white pink and really deep dark purple. The games room is red and white and is getting painted lime green and purple, should be interesting. The Bathrooms were yellow and are now being painting a really nice blue and the dinning room is yellow orange and blue and is being painted varying shades of coffee. Most of the rooms are changing into better colours but I’m not so sure about the green and purple, we shall see.
On The 14-16 Melissa and I are going to Manchester to see a concert. The concert is on the 15 so we are leaving on the 14 and arriving bright and early 'home' on the 16 just in time for the Christmas party.
That’s about all that’s and has happened with me. You obviously know about Florence, I'm getting really excited for that.
