Neil's had work for the past 2 days, so I've had time to myself (though I met him for lunch both times). Yesterday I attacked Charing Cross Road, which was fun even if the fucking exchange rate means I can't afford to go wild as I'd like to. (Today Thomas Cook was offering to buy dollars at $1.90 to the pound--thank G-d Neil's swapped my dollars at a far better rate.) Mmm, books.

Today I got my hair done. (Blame my mother. When we were waiting at JFK, she told me that my hair looked terrible, and ordered me to get it done while on vacation and she'd pay for it.) This was a bit of a mess as I was meant to have it cut and colored at 10:30. Unfortunately the stylist who was going to cut my hair had to go home sick! So I got the color (slightly red, semi-permanent) done, then had to come back for the cut and blow at 17:30. I told Neil it would take about an hour. Unfortunately they were running 10 minutes late, and I hadn't originally thought I'd get a full blow out. Poor bloke, he had to wait for me :-) It looks great though--much less wild, and blown and ironed totally flat. Gorgeously flat. They did a gloss with the color as well so my hair is actually shiny now!

In between was lunch at Wagamama (yum) and a traipse round the British Museum (but I skipped the Buried Treasure exhibit: I was displeased at being asked to fork out £7, especially as I'd donated £4 outside.)

Anyhoo, happy, and having fun :)
