two round trips to London

Filed under: about me, social life?

Tomorrow is going to be an exciting yet exhausting day.

In the morning, I’m taking the Fecklet to the US Embassy in London to apply for his US passport. He already has his British one. This will involve getting on a very very busy train (and probably paying loads for the privilege) and a very very busy bus, unless it is sunny in which case we’ll walk. (From Paddington, not from Reading.) The Transport for London website is wonderful and for the sum of 25p will text you directions to wherever you are going. Fantastic.

Then it’s back to Reading, then it’s a quick change for me and handover to the babysitter so I can pull on my fairly useless magic knickers and my little black dress to get on another train back to London for the Little Black Dress first anniversary party. This is at a rather glam club and I am hoping my ancient FCUK dress, black fishnets, and £1 scarf are going to cut the mustard.

If I am lucky it will be rather dark.

  4. Babe, you evicerate (sp?) the mustard on a regular basis. You are just one sharp, shiny, serrated mustard knife…

    ;-)

    Hope the party’s great and that the travelling and passport stuff goes smoothly.

    Go be glam!

  5. You anchor your magic knickers with your bra — ie put on the knickers first. They do have to pulled up that high, then the little roll of flb seems to be part of the bosom…

    QED.

    You will be wonderful.

    I hope the US embassy was not too terrible. It always seems to take forever.

  7. Good luck with the passport. I seemed to spend all of last year getting our various ones updated. The Australian embassy was the toughest and I had to get brand new photos of my son because there was a shadow in the background (incidentally I used the same ones for his UK passport – obviously they don’t mind the odd shadow!!) Oh and have a great time at the party!!!
