Liz, it sounds as if you are READY to get home and back to a more serene life on Cape Cod. 3 weeks of travel is A LOT - especially the way you have done it. I imagine that the first leg with the SILs added a great deal of stress to the start of your trip, too.

I have been searching for the shirt I regret NOT buying while in Germany. My brother thought it was far too loud, so I did not follow my gut as I should have. Found it yesterday (I had been searching the wrong label!). I really should have bought it in Germany. I'm paying a boat load in shipping, but now I am happy. It's ridiculously loud and vibrant, but I really love it. I am now officially on clothes shopping restriction! I have plenty, and being retired, I have fewer places to wear my "fun"/dressier clothes.
Today I have a client dog, but not much else. I think I will do a little around the house and see if Ron would like to go to a movie this evening. We haven't been to a movie in some time and I think it sounds like a good idea.
Here's a pic of the very LOUD shirt...
2 more sleeps in this weird hotel. At least the bed is comfortable!
We did the bus yesterday until about 1, but then got off earlier than planned because it was completely stuck in traffic for the last half hour. We walked to Convent Garden at that point and split a great fish and chips meal at a little pub. In the afternoon we did a lot of walking to Buckingham Palace, then to a huge Toy Store with 7 floors which we wandered through. I bought gifts for my grand nephews and grand niece - hopefully they will fit in our bags! We hung around in our hotel room in the late afternoon to recoup, then went to dinner at an Indian restaurant. Really excellent lamb curry and butter chicken.
Today we are off for the usual Sunday breakfast, followed by a walk to Buckingham Palace to see the Changing of the Guard. This afternoon we have a tour of the Tower of London.
The one thing we didn't book was a show which feels strange since we are staying in the West End where all the theaters are. I just don't think I have the energy to stay up late for a show. 3 weeks of travel is a long time at our age.
SILs are still in Madrid waiting for insurance clearance to travel. If I were them I would just book the plane and leave. I think nothing is happening because of the weekend.
The Sunday bus (our feet) is leaving soon. Have a sun-filled Sunday!

Wonderful that you had a good visit with your friend! It was worth all the cleaning!

Sounds like a nice trip!

Big city vibe coming off of London pictures! I'm sorry your DD has to face the choice of such a serious surgery, but it would seem her uterus has become her enemy. My story is very different, because I had 2 children and was definitely done with reproducing at 42, but my god, what joy I felt about losing that traitorous organ that brought me do much pain and misery. A friend wrote in a card, Now you are like the Goddess Diana, running free and unencumbered trhough the woods. I liked that idea.
Paula, we are in the same state! I wnt to an art show and the farmer's market today. Hope your show went well.
After the farmer's market, we went to a state park thst has a fabulous lake called Devil's Lake. DS says it is named with a level of disrespect. It was (is) a sacred space for Native Americans in the area, and was named Devil by settlers because it was part of what they considered a pagan religion. He said there is a current movement to rename it Spirit Lake. Anyhow, it is gorgeous, and the water was warm and clear, so we had a nice swim. Later we had a nice dinner, and now we are back at the hotel.
Tomorrow we will have bruch, and then there will be a bike ride for the riders, which is not me. I don't mind a little down time.
BFF's son is staying at our house while he works out where he is going to live now that he and his wife agree that they will separate. There will be many tough days ahead, but hopefully he is on the path to a happier, healthier life.
123 on the dot again.
All set up for the art fair tomorrow. Thankfully we had everything under cover when a short lived but decent rain cloud hit us! Tomorrow will be sunny and hot, just like last year. Will have to pack lots of beverages to stay hydrated!
DH, DC and I went to a different and better Mexican restaurant tonight but not as convenient as the neighborhood one. I ordered the same a la cart shredded chicken taco and stole some of DH's beans. Chips, salsa and cheese sauce were all good. DC and I split a fried ice cream! Yummy! No Dove bar for me today!
Sorry your dinner got so messed up and then you didn't even get to eat. Free drinks wouldn't have cut it for me! Hope DD can get her hysterectomy soon and be out of her misery. I'm thankful too that kids were not a want for her and her DH.
Tonight will be an early one for us. We are both worn out and have a long hot day ahead of us tomorrow!
