I went to pick up my mom at Heathrow yesteday. The London Underground website is evil. Eeeeeeeeeevil! Their website told me that the best route to the airport was to go from Kings Cross to Paddington and then switch to the Heathrow Express train. What the website doesn't say is that you need another ticket for that train and that ticket is 16 pounds. SIXTEEN!!! And that's a one-way. It only cost me 17 to get a round-trip from Cambridge to London. Finally get there and I wait for mom to go through customs and baggage claim. My patience was severely strained by a 15-generation clan taking up a whole lot of room and making a hell of a racket. I now strongly support leash laws for children.
Had a very slow night last night. We were all tired and we all ended up going to bed at 9pm.
Today was fun. Went walkies in Cambridge, spent too much money. I am now the proud owner of a citrus zester.
We're off to London tomorrow.
