I made it

... to London, but without my big suitcase that I had paid extra for.  I was supposed to go with a virtually empty suitcase and fill it up here in London and bring stuff back to store for elder daughter since she is leaving London for a while. When I tried to check in the bag the young RyanAir girl said "No, sorry, you have not paid for that so that will be 1050 Swedish Kr more." That was about double of what my ticket had cost. It turned out that since I had had to change my ticket to another date the price I had originally paid which included a bag was no longer valid with a bag. It was just the date that had changed and the bag cost had been lost. I know this sounds petty but they (RyanAir) seem to get you for everything. I even read somewhere that a passenger was refused a glass of water to take his medication. He was supposed to buy their bottled water! As you probably can tell I am not very fond of RyanAir. I ended up taking my big case back to the car in long-term parking and just travelling with a shopping bag.  Very classy!!


Anyway, enough about me.  Gina's show went very well and she sold some pieces, and hopefully she will sell more in weeks to come, since it is on for a month.

Yesterday we went to Oxford Street for a spot of shopping, and then to The British Museum to meet a friend of Gina's and her mum. After that we were all invited to another friend's for dinner and then it was off to a club in Brixton to listen to a Senegalese group. As always in London the weather is beautiful and today is even very warm.

Tomorrow it is up early and off to Stansted and back to Sweden. It has been fun but very hectic and soo muuuch walking!!!
