In London

Had a hreat evening last night at the pub with Phil. He dropped me home and gave me a nut roast to have later today should i need it. It is currently in the fridge as i will be doing a 'Spoons visit anyway here in London.

I have just done a coffee shop visit in Finsbury Park and currently in Notting Hill Gate to look around MVE again. I have unwanted CD's and DVD's to exchange. Then off to Oxford Street to do a covert shop in a jewellers,and finally the pub food and drink visit in Lee (near Hither Green).

The Friday Five

1) What family traditions did your family have, while you were growing up?

2) What new traditions have you established since becoming an adult?

3) What tradition is most important to you in your current life?

4) What traditions do you have for the current season (spring or fall, depending on where you live)?

5) What traditions would you like to establish in the future?
