Well I was sort of in an office, and worked hard actually - all that thinking about Rasch graphs, and Wright Maps and... quite brain-exploding stuff it was... and now of course there's the coursework about it - eeep! We finished early though, and I didn't get a headache today, and then I ended up deciding not to trog around London when I had no particular plans and did have luggage, so I walked over the river (well, on the bridge, not actually... *g*) and caught the train and was home in time for archery, but then I was quite tired and didn't go after all. I would have had to rush, and miss dinner, and... so no.

But London was lovely and London. Here's the view out my hotel window, and a London-y contre-jour (thanks [livejournal.com profile] gvenanne!) photo...

And then this church was down on Aldwych, on my way out, looking all like spring...

...and I cut through Somerset House, which I always like too. I almost nipped into the exhibitions, but nothing quite grabbed me enough.

Over Waterloo Bridge I went (and hey, I have a reason to remember which one this is, now!)

...and then I was on the other side of the river...

...heading for a strange new (still old, unlike Kings Cross) railway station...

...and catching the train, and leaving London...

And when I got home - I had mail! My favourite was my copy of Jackdaw, which finally arrived, so I made the appropriate cocktail, and settled down to read for the evening... *g*

Oh, and how much do you love the cork on the Prosecco - it's an angel! Okay, it's instructions to use a corkscrew but... it's the Prosecco angel! *vbg*

(And okay, it's totally messed up reading lj on my phone, but lj is fast at uploading photos now - the fastest photo uploads I've ever seen!)

And finally... that wasn't the first time I've been away for a night or two since I moved in here, but somehow it's the first time that coming home felt like coming home, and being glad to be home, and that was rather nice too... *g* Now I'm off to my own soft bed, in my very own bed, with my very own books... *vbg* And even though there's a day and more's work in it - tomorrow's Friday - hurrah!

Thank you so much! :-) I remember now seeing that post, but had forgotten about it. I had a quick look at Wordery - only one of the books came up, though. Is that where you bought yours? I'm happy to use them (free postage!) provided they have all of the books.

Wordery does have all the books - that's where I got mine from - but they come up oddly on the website, and I've had to search each time. And yes! Free postage! That's why I thought of you! They also try to be a few pence cheaper than Amazon/Bookdepository, and I reckon it all adds up. *g* I'll email!
