Wednesday: The Tate and Millenium Footbridge

Went to the Tate Modern Museum today. Very interesting. Could have spent a day there. Thesre is a lot of great work to see! Favorites included Roy Lichtenstein's pop art and Marcell Duchamp's famous urinal (Katie's favorite) as well as Peit Mondrian's "Compostion No. 2"! Katie really fancied Matisse as well!
On the way there we crossed the Millenium Footbridge which is very nice cause you get a great view of many of the bridges that cross the Thames as well as St. Pauls Cathederal!

AGM at the Garage in Southfeilds

Trying to catch up with everyone in London before I leave this pathetic excuse of a summer for a winter that makes summer here look like a damn blizzard! So I called up MIlo and Wendy and dragged Pierre out with Katie and Myself for a sneaky few on a school night! Ended up being a great night but unfortunately England beat the poor Hungarians 3-1 and we had to sitness the arrogant poms enjoy it. Was quite upset for a moment and then got over it...Promptly!

Charlie challenged me to a beard compettition. So as of now we are growing the hard facial hair we have! Man I am getting itchy!

Dining out at the 216 Airbourne

Was really cool! The kit is too funny though! They all spoke very Highly of 2nd Leiutenant Hillhouse and I was really proud and inmpressed with my mate! What an unforgettable night!
