Chim chiminee chim chiminee chim chim cheroo

Back again.

We went to Regent's park and relaxed in the sun for a few hours. I think we're going to her 'usual' bar tonight. Like I said, the weather has been fantastic (I hope writing this doesn't jinx it) and has added to my enjoyment of the city.

I wonder if I'd like it so much if it was winter and cold? I guess i'm not going to find out for the moment.

I'm staying in Kensington with the incredibly generous and lovely Jen, John and Jason, who are doing very well to be putting up with me for a whole two weeks (especially since I've been a ill, and have been around more than I planned to be). But they've been wonderful! A little aside for Sapient folks - have managed to catch up with Enda, which was great, but have not yet seen Graham or Justin. Actually I should ask them out tonight. It was interesting to be here for the second big round of Sapient layoffs ... sad to hear some names I knew, relieved to hear that others made it through. I'm not sure that it's all over yet. Hmmm. It seems Katya's first day in the office was the last day for many others. Must be strange.

London seems great, but like I said, I'm still not sure how much the weather has to do with my current opinion. I guess i'll just have to wait and see.

The museums are great ... spent five hours at the Natural History Museum yesterday and a day last week at the British Museum. am going to the Tate Modern with John and Jen on Sunday before we go to a play at the globe.

Also love the parks and gardens. I knew about Hyde Park, but I didn't realise how many other parks and gardens there were. I guess I was expecting more big buildings and stuff - the lack of skyscrapers makes the city far less ... claustrophobic than I think it otherwise would be.
