Shopping

Shopping is enjoyment! Today is meant to be my shopping day. Did not intend to go shopping first. After going to my hairdresser and explaining to her well why I have not seen her for ages, cannot resist putting my feet into those shops. Temptation! Oasis, my favorite! I found the jean which is exactly the one I just retired, with 5 pounds more than the price of my old one. A lot of nice stuff today! Hamleys, for one friend's kid! Then, my crab meal! Eating crab is just art!

Gordon Brown's resignation

Well, this is not fresh news any more! David Cameron, the youngest Prime Minister in UK in 198 years! He is still 43 now, 5 months before his next birthday. The first coalition government! From 6th May to now, at least! After several rolling coasters, the track is back to viaducts. Let us hope it will soon be on the land! Vote one and get one free, not bad deal in the end!

London Marathon

This is my Microsoft week, first going to MS Conference and then having face to face talk with MS people. When I got out of the conference centre, walking on the road with Sun, I am feeling like being in another world. At the weekend, another London Marathon.

这个星期是我的微软周，先是去参加在伦敦的微软大会，然后又是和微软的咨询面对面辅导。真是领会微软特色。等大会结束的时候，走在洒满阳光的路上，感觉像是另一个世界。这个周末又是4万人参加的伦敦马拉松。

Glasses

Here are my new glasses and Audrey Hepburn Style Sunglassses! Say Bye to my very old glasses! The reasons I changed my glasses is not only the change in my eyesight, but also one day I found out three grandmas wearing glasses similar to my old ones. My goodness! Too soon to be Grandma!
