Apple Store in Regent Street

For me, this is like an Aladdin's Cave, and every time I come in here I am more convinced that my next home computer will be a Mac - so that means I have to actually save for one because the one I would want to have would not be just a whimsical purchase of a (relatively) inexpensive PC from a high street chain.

In fact I am tapping this post out on a really nice macbook - whilst I give my iPhone charge on the docking station next to it.

I am purchasing one, so I do not feel too bad, and actually, I don't think the Apple fellas here would mind one little bit.

Hollywood Stars

Old man and younger wife at Planet Hollywood, Piccadilly Circus, London

Rose surprised me with a trip into London, some live theatre (The 39 Steps at The Criterion) and supper at Planet Hollywood after the show. It was a lovely, long day. We walked up and down Regent Street, spending time in the Wedgewood and Swaroskvy Crystal shops (for Rose) and Hamelys Toy Store (for me).

On the Tube, heading home

Nobody was speaking

I needed another round trip to London yesterday, to get a visa from the Cyprus Consulate - which is just of Park Lane, and near Marble Arch tube station. I had never seen the Marble Arch for whom the station is named, and had not realized it is very close to Speaker's Corner in Hyde Park.

I got the visa, and walked via the subway to the park. Nobody was up on their soap box in Speaker's Corner - perhaps it was a but chilly! I was determined to eat my sambos and drink my flask of hot coffee, in the park, which was a bit naff, as apart from a small group of Spanish sounding tourists who whisked in and out in 5 minutes, I was the only person sitting on a bench!
