In London

[ellen_datlow]

Here and settled in at the Clutes' in Camden Town and awaiting Pat C to hit Covent Garden antique stalls today and then we're going to have lunch with her son Rob. Rainy and miserable out yesterday but it's cleared up today.

After spending several hours trying to set up my wireless John unplugged his modem, replugged it and voila --no more trouble! And it's nice and quick.

That's it!

Yay to John! Hopefully it's bright and sunny for the rest of the week.

glad to hear...

you arrived safely & are already off & having fun. Hope the rest of the stay is a joy.

Thanks. Yes indeed. Slightly tipsy from a lovely round of drinks and then a Moroccan restaurant where I shared a bottle of wine (not to mention, scrumptious food) with a friend.

excellent!

Also glad to hear the rumours of "no good food to be had in England" are greatly exaggerated.

No true at all! I heard that for years..and then discovered "roasts!" my favorite food-roast meat, yorkshire pudding, etc. Seriously though, you can't go wrong with ethnic food here. Good sushi too.

& (so I hear)

the best curries & vindaloos north of India.

Personally, I like sausages, roasts, shepards pie, yorkshire pudding, etc. I might have a problem w/ kidneys & I don't like fishy-fish much @ all. Sadly, I would also be missing out on perhaps the finest anglo-taste experience: I don't like beer.

Whisky, on the other hand....

Ah, I miss my horrible flat in Camden so much... say hi to the Markets for me, especially the Stables Markets up past the canals, one of my favourite places in the whole damn world. And especially-especially Alienate, my favourite shop in my favourite place in the whole damn world. :)

Hi Martin,
Didn't make it to the Market when I got in and not sure I have time this coming weekend as I've got the Poe event to participate in Sat afternoon and attending the Chinese New Year Parade and then have a crispy duck dinner Sunday. But I'm close enough to blow a kiss to the stables :-)
