Catching Up

What do two girls who are desperately looking for work in London do? We live in Bloomsbury and drink delicious coffee. We meet new friends for outrageous times. We walk along the Thames. We eat fish and chips and bangers and mash. We go to the gym and do Julia classes (pilates, yoga) and Dani classes (body pump, spin). On Saturday we walk down to Covent Garden and then The National Gallery. It is such a wonderful gallery and I'm thrilled with the beautiful works of art, Seurat, Ingres, luscious mangoes from Gauguin. The building inside is stunning - large round ornate ceilings filled with perfect light. I can't wait to go back again and again, and you can here, because the galleries are free and it's so important.

I will talk work another time. Hopefully we move in to our new place on Friday. I say 'hopefully' because the agents are degenerates.

I love it here.

Good to see you blogging again, and with a new blog address!

I love the V&A Museum - some spectacular things in there. I think its also free now.

Also... you can go along to the Vanity Fair portrait exhibition which is on in London at the moment, at the National Portrait Gallery until 26 May.
