I haven't been into town for years, quite fancy a look around and a flight
on the London Eye.

I have just been in London - I should have suggested a meeting,
except I am seriously "tired and emotional". The London universities
have an air squadron (ULAS) with its town HQ in Brompton Road and we
had an end-of-term "revue" there last night. Aunty Betty would not
pay for a night's hotel, so we (the staff of the squadron) kipped on
the chairs after the revelries. Some brave souls went with the
students to Hombre's (?) off Oxford Street, but I find socialising
with 'young people" tiring enough as it is, and 0200 bed time is late
enough for me now. I have not bopped since the last one - in October
;-)
The reason for this post is that I visited Nicholas in Camden High
St, near Mornington Crescent tube station. It is a bit of a
shambles, worse than Campkins on King's Parade in Cambridge, but it
looks like a treasure trove of stuff. I wanted to feel a Contax G2,
but it was locked away and could not be retrieved for half-an-hour;
my tiredness and emotion persuaded me to head off to King's Cross for
the train home. Nicholas is well worth a visit for OM stuff in my
opinion (see adverts in AP).
