I'm starting to wonder if there's a castle to rent near London for the next F2F.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Our wings are not tired.
Laura, you and your DH should totally come to London with TCG and me sometime!
This would be lovely.

I like the way you think!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I visited the Globe when I was in London in 1998, pretty soon after it had opened. I would love to see a play there.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
When I lived in London I spent a lot of time at the Museum of Natural History. Just park myself in one display or another and draw for hours. I roll my eyes at the resources I've ignored since then (the V&A was nice, clothes are pretty, but DINOSAURS).
Ginger, I vote Team Stubborn. In fact, I'd wear the shirt.
Also vote for stubbornness to beat the banks, but life is never that simple...

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I love London. I spent two weeks there both years of my grad school programs. I museumed the hell out of that city.

YES! The David Bowie exhibit will still be open when we're there in July! So between that and the fashion section, do you think I need more than one day?

It depends. Just those two exhibits, probably not, but I would plan on spending most of the day there. If you want to explore more of the museum, probably. If you need a break in between exhibit, the food court there had been completely redone from the last time I was there, and it was very nice.

One of those lucky happenstances: when I went to see St. Paul's Cathedral, the choir was in there practicing. It was glorious to walk around and hear them singing at the same time.

Strawberry-blonde sounds fun, erika.
I haven't been to the UK yet. It's near the top of the list, but things keep coming up. It'll definitely be a combo of museums and tourist stuff, with a number of pubs in the evening when I do go. Maybe a football game, too, depending on timing.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Jilli, when in July are you in the UK?
