One of the highlights of our time in Greenwich involved admiring the fine specimen depicted here. Kate and I were in awe over this guy's extensive and carefully-appointed Eurotrash ensemble. Check it: knee-high leather boots, skin-tight black jeans, studded black leather waist belt, hair etching, and gaudy bling. We had a hard time determining whether this look was fancy-tickling or stomach-churning. Both?
Last night, we met up with Sarah Kinsella, a friend that I (Alex) used to work with in Edinburgh. After we both left Scotland, Sarah moved to Vancouver for a year, and both Kate and I met up with her on several occasions. She JUST scored a job at the British Museum, and it was her birthday yesterday, so we managed to organize a small get-together. It was fun and involved numerous bottles of wine, excessive high-fiving, and seemingly endless rounds of London Pride. We gave her a teardrop-shaped silver pendant from the one and only Lattimer Gallery (plug!) to remind her of her time on the Northwest Coast.
We are going to Brighton this afternoon, to get out of the city and to see Brighton Pavilion. Tomorrow, we will be spending time in the north end of the city, to tour the British Museum and to dine at Gordon Ramsay's York & Albany restaurant. Kate has downloaded the Beatles discography for this trip, so we will likely take a staged and clichéd photo at Abbey Road while we are up there.

Can't wait to see you both when I visit Melbourne. Maybe also see you in Adelaide
