Oxford Street and dinner over carols

Today I had a wonderful day in swinging London. I met Julianne and Josh under Priscilla- QUeen of the Desert's oversize tranny heel on Charring Cross Road and we proceeded to the glory of Oxford Street.

I have been teased (and quite rightly so) about looking like a hobo in my unstylish (though warm) overcoat. So today, it was time to remedy this.

After a little Pret a Manger for shopping-fuel, I discovered the joy of H&M. Why does this not exist in Australia - it is absolutely epic! I got a stylish, yet appropriately warm military-style coat, a shirt, a long sleeved shirt and an extremely cute dress for 70 pounds. so good!

After some random meandering we found our way into Primark. I had already been to Primark in Tooting Bec near where I am staying in Clapham South and it was an intense shopping experience. Primark Oxford street is... the next level. I have never seen so many people in one shop. it was quite literally heaving with bargain hunters. I escaped the rolling maul of Primark with 2 pairs of shoes, a pair of black undies, black high denier tights, a sling bag and a pair of pyjama pants.. for 27 pounds. oh yeaaa.

I'm now sitting in the very lovely open plan kitchen of Julianne and Josh's kitchen in East Finchley. We are having a pasta bake for tea.. and vienetta for dessert! I'm going to have to catch the tube all the way to the other side of london to go home, but I'm getting pretty good with the tube so I should be fine.

WE are listening to christmas carols. Do they know it's christmas?

Tomorrow I am going to visit Mark! can't wait to see him! Mark Cornish Live in Concert!
