I’m here, and settled in my comfortable hotel room.
I arrived yesterday late morning. Me being me, I dozed most of the day and then didn’t get up until 11 this morning.
I’m still not feeling much like doing-a-thing, so mostly all I’ve done is have a hamburger at a favorite place around the corner. Posts this week are going to be mostly pictures. Very likely of overly-specific things that I’ll briefly explain.
O
Seven hours on a plane.
O
Buckingham Palace from a cab … seen it, done it, don’t need to do it again.
O
The neighborhood, from the hotel window.
O
Looking across The Thames down by the hotel entrance, about noon today. (That’s St. Paul’s Cathedral.)
O
More neighborhood … I’m a few feet around the corner from the building with all the red trim. I’m sitting on the wall with my back to the river taking the photo.
O
Inside Wagamama … everything here is built inside old Victorian train arches and warehouses. This was very much an industrial/railroad neighborhood.
O
More tomorrow! Have a great day!

O dearDear Phill!! so happy you arrived safely! i would also have a loooong nap after 7hrs on a plane. the burger at a favorite haunt also sounds like me! i love the pics! what is really neat is that i actually begin to recognize the places! it is so weird to think that at one time people used to ice skate on the Thames in the winter! and lastly, i love that somebody at sometime looked at that space where the Wagamama is and said, you know, we could have a posh looking eatery here! have a lovely stay, be safe out there, and don’t overtax yourself! I LOVE YOU! ❤ 😀 KarenA

Maybe a trip to the Science Museum – https://www.timeout.com/london/news/the-science-museum-is-launching-its-first-ever-afternoon-tea-011025?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=dhfacebook&utm_content=null&fbclid=IwY2xjawHvYExleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHWkdtx6U6ZAn5AxAsML1DkqTf1ukzaTXHvqoTey9yD5IKHkWOq89ctBIcg_aem_SpKe_2hmkIOhmn9VU94Dyw#google_vignette
You know, I noticed that and was wondering about it. I was thinking about visiting the old operating theater as well.
I don’t think I could resist trying that afternoon tea
