Yes that is right. I think it would be so fun to fly around on little Harry Potter brooms and play Quiditch on the weekends! So, if you cannot tell Burr and I went to Harry Potter on Friday night. It was our first time at "the cinema" here in London. The theatres are straight out of circa-1983 - really old school but it was still fine. Burr and I had to sneak dinner into the movie theatre b/c we did not have time to go beforehand and I found the funniest thing of the evening to be when Burr get getting mad at me for eating my salad (Yeah, yeah I got a salad to bring in the movies -whatever!) but he was saying "Can't you just wait till the lights go down!" over and over again....he was so worried we were going to get kicked out of the movies!!! Its unbelievable what a "rule follower" Burr is - its totally cracks me up, which of course makes him even more mad - haha!
Saturday morning we both really wanted french toast but of course nothing is easy here, so I had to get my bookbag and walk to the store. I got this delicious apple sourdough bread and then I had to by syrup and you know in the states there are like at least 20 kinds of syrup...well of course I always buy low sugar or sugar-free, much to Burr's dismay, but here there are only 2 kinds - yep a No.1 or 2 - meaning how concentrated - so strange and get this....it is £5 a bottle!!! Yes, that is basically $8 for a thing of syrup - are you kidding me people?! Out of control. Anyway, breakfast was fantastic about an hour and half later!
Saturday night we went to dinner with Joanna and David Iliff at this Russian place. It was very good and the night got quite interesting when the boys began to share a half carafe of infused vodka. They had all sorts of flavors - delicious!
Sunday Burr and I were both cursing our firms as we spent HOURS trying to find somewhere to invest money that kept us both independent. This is the only time in our lives we wish Deloitte and KPMG had more audit clients....it was rough...but we got through it. I have to say I made delicious fajitas for dinner and I cannot WAIT to have mexican food when I'm back in the states:-) And a filet....yum!
Miss you all
XOXO
