London here I come.

For Vivian's big 3-0, she very kindly shouted me a trip to London and a tour of the Isle of Wight.

Vienna had been having lovely sunny weather until the day I departed. Then it was very "English weather. I must have taken the sun with me, cos when I arrived in London it was sunny and relatively warm.

I'm such a "good" friend that I didn't even know that "today" was Vivian's birthday. We went straight home to Aunty Mai's. Of course we got stopped and asked for our tickets 3 times on the way home. But apparently unusually, it wasn't crowded and we had no delays travelling home.

We celebrated Viv's birthday with Chinese takeaways(yum), and 3 different types of cheesecake and ice-cream and lashings of cream.
