All the leaves are brown...

Despite all stories and suggestions that it was going to snow this week, yesterday turned out to be beautiful and clear. After running around with flight changes (yes again, I know), getting show tickets and visiting the post office (I am very impressed by the British Postal Service, less than a week for a parcel to get from London to Perth) I wandered down to Forbidden Planet, the big SF store. OMG it was most impressive and was conviently within a mere stumble of a dozen or so other book shops and no less than three vegetarian eating places. That's right you can get books, fantoys and vegan cake in less than 15minutes if you paced it right. Needless to say I was rather impressed.

Given the fine weather (fine as in no rain, rather than a decent amount of heat) I decided to spend the rest of the afternoon in Hyde Park. A well manicured park with lots of lovely European trees with golden brown leaves all over the place. And squirrels! They are terribly cute were more than happy to carry out their business and ignore the stupid tourist with her camera. Got the oppertunity to sit and lie on grass with autumn leaves all around me which was lovely.

Went and saw Jerry Springer- The Opera last night in the West End. With David Soul as Jerry. Think of the average Jerry Springer show, with all the usual hillbillies, transexuals, wannabe strippers, adulterers and fetishists. Now think of them all singing and dancing in opera style. Think about the usual lines used in the show such as "fuck you", "dip her in chocolate and throw her to the lesbians", "talk to the hand", "three nipple cousin fucker", "whore", "chick with a dick" but sung in opera style with no bleeping. There was even Steve and JerryCam. Transexual angels. And tap dancing KKK members. It was hilarious and suitably highly offensive.
