Three days at home were just enough to get caught up on school, power through a ton of work duties, and repack the suitcase. Mondo and I are going to London for an extended weekend just for fun. I don't have major plans this time. I'll check out the British Museum, the new Winston Churchill Museum, and possibly the Egypt Museum since I didn't go to the one in Cairo.

Our big plan is tha Al Stewart concert on Tuesday night. He's celebrating his 60th birthday by working. It should be fun. Other plans include eating and drinking. The British Film Fest is going on so I might check out some movies.
