Sean, sorry London isn't being as good as Italy (but then, what could be?). I'm so glad you've been having a wonderful time. Remember the good times, brush off the bad (and remember - they're English - I don't think "warm" is high on the list of things they're good at ... they're the people who invented the stiff upper lip). Remember the girl in Siena. Remember Galileo's tomb. Remember the good food.
Oh, look at the pretties!

Right now, I'm trying pretty hard not to feel like every friendly person I've met in the last week and a half secretly hated me, and was cursing at me, and since I've spent quite a great deal of time over the last year trying not to feel like everybody I knew secretly hated me and was cursing at me, I'm having a pretty hard time of it.
But I'm also pretty tired, so I think I'll just go to bed, and hope everybody isn't secretly hating me tomorrow.

I have so little memory of my few days in London, much more I remember the rest of my trip--Scotland and the places we went there. I have no idea why. Hmmm.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I have been in London 5 times and STILL have not been to the Victoria & Albert museum, despite it being where the Fossil girls go in wet weather in "Ballet Shoes." Epic Scrappy Fail.

Someday, I'll finally get a passport, and the first place I go will be London.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Sleep well, Sean. All will be well tomorrow.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Sean, I will bet you five million dollars that beautiful Italian woman with an interest in horse races did not secretly hate you.
May tomorrow bring you a friendlier London and a still-friendly past Italy.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Both times I was in London, I more or less camped out at the V&A.
