If we're to make 100 posts before we leave we better not leave another 5 day gap like that...
Anyway, the weekend was FREEZING! Literally. We had a slight dusting of snow sometime early Sunday morning. I was walking around in coat + scarf + gloves and I was still cold.
We managed to have a good Saturday though. I started off with a mens breakfast at church. There was plenty of bacon, and plenty of bible. It was based around the credit crunch and how as Christians we should think about it.
Then Thea and I went to the Imperial War museum. I'd never been before, so I found it really interesting. There is a real German V2 rocket in the main foyer. Those things are massive! They went faster than the speed of sound, so you couldn't hear them coming until after they struck. Scary stuff. They also had a range of around 300km, so could easily be fired at England from the mainland.
We then went to Borough Markets. I love that place. It's a food market, and there is so much tasty stuff there to buy and try, it's always a fun day out. We had rib eye steak sandwiches for lunch, served on Turkish break with feta, rocket and onions. We also had some tasty coffee there, as Monmouth, London's main decent coffee roaster, has a stall there were you can order decent flat whites, complete with rosetta.
After that we went into Oxford street to look at the Christmas lights. They were pretty cool. The main department stores have the exterior walls completely covered in fairy lights, plus there are lots of fairy lights up and down the street, particularly on Regent St too.
So, counting Museum, market, coffee and Christmas lights, that is four things of Thea's 10 things to do before we leave!
