If we don't have to have our feet amputated from over-use, then it will be pneumonia that gets us

Without pulling out a map to go over every square foot of city that we covered, and I do think that we've now covered it all, today we:

- Started off this morning on the tube to St. John's Wood, where a short walk brought us to Abbey Road. Yes, that Abbey Road. We had to walk the walk. It's unbelievable really, and we were both a bit surprised by how excited we were to be crossing the street at the same spot as the album cover; or in her case, the CD cover.
- Back on the tube to Soho.
- Stroll through Soho.
- Funky shops with funky window designs.
- Oops, I'd forgotten all the XXX Sex shops but there they were and there we were.
- We kept walking.
- Leicester Square.
- Covent Garden. Shops and Market.
- A string quartet.
- Wooden daisies and black and white photographs.
- Walk on down the road.
- A pub!
- Thaw our cold bodies inside the pub for a spell.
- Take tube to Piccadilly Circus
- Virgin Megastore again.
- She knows what she wants this time and walks out with her fifth Mum CD, excited she's now completed her collection. I purchase a Postal Service CD.
- Take tube to Hyde Park Corner.
- Stroll through Hyde Park to Speakers Corner and Marble Arch.
- Oooh look! The big red tourist bus station.
- Why not? And why not sit on the second story in the open air because it's only freezing outside and starting to rain...
- Biting wind, no doubt we'll both come down with pneumonia tomorrow.
- Exit that business an hour later at Westminster tube station.
- Catch tube to Zizzi's again for dinner.
- Thaw out again.
- Nice dinner, she orders what I had last time. I have the same again.
- Walk back to hotel.
- In a light rain.






- She packs her bags.
- Order room service of ridiculously high calorie desserts - namely, chocoholics heaven for her and sticky toffee pudding with cream for me.
- Request 6:00 a.m. wake-up call because we're off to Gatwick early tomorrow morning.
- I'm going to miss her terribly this week.
