yeah I know what you mean. I was in Itsu on Piccadilly on 5 November, 4 days later.

Hi James, thanks for looking in. I heard of someone who was in there the same day. Anyhow, I feel all-over crap at the moment. Either I'm coming down with the flu or it was that Russian guy in the sandwich shop.

I am now on the look-out for suspicious men in furry hats carrying packages!!!

Anne, the (former) KGB in Godalming! Godalmighty! What is the world coming too.

And there is much more for you to know...
btw you might just enjoy the latest blog entry about the Muswell Hill Free Thinkers' Association Christmas Dinner.
And it's ALL true!
