Ok, so, last Thursday I went to Trafalgar Square, where it was raining, to watch the Lord Mayor of Westminster and the Prime Minister of Norway light a Christmas tree that has apparently been a traditional gift from Norway to Trafalgar Square since 1940 something (in thanks for WWII stuff). Here is the tree.
While there, I got to chat with the Lord Mayor, who managed to convincingly pretend that she knows where Minnesota is. My camera died on me so I don't actually have photographic evidence of this meeting, but it happened! I swear.And then on Saturday I went to St. Stephen's Church off Gloucester Road to watch the University of London Symphony Orchestra perform some pieces by Elgar and Walton and Handel. I thought it was fantastic, tho my friend who's actually in the ULSO claims they messed up a couple of times. Whatever. If you're ever in London and want to spend 5 pounds to hear some really good symphony music, I recommend the ULSO.
And tomorrow...Mousetrap!!

It must have something to do with Trafalgar Square, since that's where I talked to a lovely girl who actually knew where Ephrata, Pennsylvania was (where I lived at the time). And she really did know, because she did the foreign exchange student thing, and stayed with a family who visited someone in Ephrata. So weird.
now that is random.
