Whilst I don’t consider myself to meet the anoraky trainspottery stereotype, my dad’s passion for mechanical engineering has obviously had an influence on me (unless it’s in my shorts). I’ve spent two very happy Saturdays discovering more about London transport and the modern history of the mighty metropolis at London Transport Museum in Covent Garden, and at their Depot in Acton Town.

Having enjoyed an afternoon at the main Covent Garden museum with Phil who took most of these photos, I rendezvoused with Tom and Barney yesterday lunchtime for a day Down at Depot rounded off with Barney and I taking the tube and the train and the bus back to Crouch End (via the Model Shop in Holborn…..). Some of these photos are Barney’s.

I finally remembered that I’d heard a trailer for “>it into my weary brain….

“This” it” is A Little Mouse with Clogs On. Woo Hoo!!!!

So, where and when is it on?

* I’m sure Phil would disagree!

… not without significant hyperventialation on my part…. I’d not spotted that Alan’s email on Friday had actually included the fact that someone had made an offer at the asking price, which made the emails he sent yesterday read rather oddly, and it wasn’t until he emailed saying the offerer had been chasing him for my response that I knew that I had an offer. gulp.

Sent an email formally accepting the offer, and headed off to Phil’s on an adrenaline high. It takes things (i.e. selling, buying, moving in together) one stage further, which makes things all the much more real…. especially as getting my flat on the market and having all the viewings has mainly taken place whilst Phil’s been away in the States. But we had a lovely evening last night, which reminds me that all the stress (and it’s been remarkably stress free so far!) is worthwhile.

James from Curzon Wilson made me laugh when he asked if I actually lived in my flat, as it was always so spectacularly neat and tidy!
