On Saturday, 11-Sept (I need to start using the English way of writing dates), we discovered the Thames Festival. A multi-cultural arts, music, food festival that ran along the Thames river. We started at one end and ended at the other. It was a lot of fun - but what was really awesome was exploring the areas to the South of the Thames. Alot of old old architecture and interesting looking Pubs. We have to come back and try these places out.
We must of walked 5+ miles. On the tube ride home we decided to stop at HomeBase - a Home Depot type store. There are light bulbs hanging from the ceilings in our flat and we need to finally decide on shades to put on these bulbs. HomeBase has some reasonably-priced shades. This has been a major decision for us to decide on these darn shades!!!
We take the final 1/2 mile walk home and collapse on the couch. No cooking tonight - Domino's to the rescue. And it was a good pizza too !!!!
It's Sunday morning and time to check out a new church. But before that, Paul decides to hook up the printer we brought from Dallas. He checked in the manual and found the printer was 110/220 compatible. Next thing I hear is a big POP and him yelling out something. I come to the study and the printer is smoking!!! OOPS...... he looked at the wrong model # in the manual. Lesson-learned: Always look on the device itself on what voltage it can take.
We found a nice Canon printer to replace it from Argos. Argos is an on-line only Walmart-type store. We've bought many of our electronics from Argos.
We also saw the memorials for those that lost their lives on 9/11. The London BBC had several shows to honor these people. It was very touching.
I hope you had a great weekend.
Hi Suzy,I love your blog. It sounds just like you so I feel like you are much closer than the many miles between us. I can't wait to get the new entries and hear about your adventures. Now I know I have to come visit so I can look to see if any of your shoes are in the kitchen cabinets. Love, Marsha
