that just ended. To start with I spent more time up in my littlle room with the tv and laptop. The novelty hasn't worn off yet.
I went shopping in Coventy and found a sweetshop that sells imported sweets from the US. Chel said I was really like a kid in a candy store, oohing and aahing over everything. That was a fast £10 spent. But I didn't eat it all, I still have a chocolate mint bar in the fridge. Go Me.
Then on Thursday it was off to London by train. We stayed in a hotel in Central London that we've used before. My walker made the two days so brilliant. I was able to go everywhere, and as long as I took my pain meds I was pretty pain free. By Friday night my legs wanted to give up and I got slower and slower on the way to the train home, but hey, we had plenty of time to make it so it was good. To say I was tired would be a lie. There has to be a better term than beyond tired. But I was also happy and relaxed.
We saw so much, and took lots of buses instead of the underground. I'm glad we did; you see so much more from a bus. And of course you don't have to go up and down any steps on a bus. The M&M World shop was fantastic. I didn't know it existed until Chel spotted it. The stock is spread out so you can see it and the displays are something else. Finding that as we were making our way to the station was a bonus.
We had a nice meal with an old friend. He is such good fun, and takes good care of us. Boy was that steak good. Perfectly cooked and great service. It was the pre theatre menu at Sophies which is in/near Covent Garden. fI've got to give them a shout and recommendation. And on the way back to the hotel I saw the Seven Dials. I didn't know it was a real thing and place!!! Just goes to show you're never too old to learn.
I wasn't too impressed with the Tate Modern, but that could be due to my mood. I just didn't feel like wandering around a museum. But the Globe Theatre is so much smaller than I expected. I don't remember ever going to that part of London before. We got an excellent view of the Tower of London as we circled it heading to the pier for our boat ride on the Thames. We went from the Tower to Grenwich, back, and then down to Westminster. I saw/learned so much during that trip. I now have places that I'd like to visit...... and who knows what the future holds for me. I'm not ruling anything out.
So since I've been home it's been a case of taking it gently while I've been awake. Yes, I guess I was pretty tired judging by the amount of sleep I've had.
And now to see what the coming week brings forth.......
