The lovely brass door to Twinings Strand shop, with the sign "The home of Twinings, 216 Strand" above it. It's very posh.

   Today's loot:

   - Lunch & dinner with she of the 19 years of age and curly hair (as a student in London, she is the reason I am here)
   - The latest @cstross "Regicide Report"
   - qntm "There is no anti-memetics division"
   (Both bought at Forbidden Planet)
   - Some Earl Grey with lavender from Twinings Strand shop.

   All in all a smashing day in Jolly Old England. Weather is cold, but acceptable so far.

   Now back in hotel room. Some light reading and off to bed we go, to do it all over again tomorrow!
