It doesn't rain, it tours...

Tour season is almost over!  Today Val and I had a group of 25, and tomorrow a group of 35 teenagers.  Val has another group on Saturday, and then we'll be done our busy season!  We still will have a few more throughout the year, but the crunch will be past.

I'm so glad.  Right now, it's 9:30 and I could go to bed.  Instead, I'm eating the last of a bag of peanut butter M&M's and writing to you about London life.  (Please, do NOT send any more candy.  My willpower is not that good, people.)

Val was going to be taking some pictures of me giving the tour.  I just texted her, asking, "Do I look this scary giving the tour?"  Every picture was awful.  I have to show you just so you see what I mean:

I hope I was at least saying something intelligent, because my face does not reflect that!

Sadly, this one is the best of the bunch.  I'm too embarrassed to show you the rest!  

After the tour, Val and I conferred about a few details on the tour, and then went our way via a little place called TK Maxx.  Nope, it's not a typo.  T"K" Maxx.  For reasons I don't understand, TJ Maxx is called TK Maxx in the UK.  Same store, same decor, just TK.  Among the racks, we found something that baffled us more than any Assyrian Cuneiform in the British Museum:

It's a scarf.  With lapels.  

Need I say more?  But wait....

It can be yours.  For the bargain price of £99.99, roughly $163.00.  The original price was £610.00 (a little under $1,000).  Don't miss your chance.  After all, we all secretly want a scarf with lapels.

If you don't like the scarf, perhaps you would like a mop dress?  I'm pretty sure there is a breed of dog that perfectly complements this ensemble.  

Let me know, folks.  I'll start Christmas shopping soon. :)
