Spring in London...

...is pretty darn cool. The weather hovers around 16-20 Celsius, with a little very light rain yesterday, and lovely breezes. People walk around sans jackets. Boys in their public school outfits practice football (soccer to you Americans) in the little park at the corner park where Bayswater Road changes to Oxford Street. Wearing a scarf during the day is starting to be unnecessary (and if you don't have one and need one, there are a plethora of £3-5 "pashmina" scarves available everywhere for easy purchase. I'm starting to think that it's almost time to break out the sunglasses, and to send two sweaters home.

As to where I will be next week: I have no earthly idea. I originally planned on going to Amsterdam, for the museums, canals and to see one of the Los Angelitos from Buenos Aires. However, this is an expensive week, and the idea of Budapest or Prague in Spring sounds interesting. Or maybe Estonia. Or maybe Poland.

You get the idea.

Oh, and whilst walking to the British Museum, I inadvertently walked down Oxford Street and through Oxford Circus [my flat is almost a straight line to the British Museum]. Folks, that's one Major Shopping Street. Do you know how difficult it was to Not Walk In To H&M? I >heart< H&M. Actually, I passed *three* H&Ms on that street.

I'm currently wearing an H&M skirt I bought in NYC.

Definitely a dangerous street to walk down.

Now, am off to meet my friend and see if a museum has their Matisse exhibit up.

To me: Matisse is God. He would love the weather here and all the women venturing about in Spring clothes and bare legs.
