So... up in The Smoke over the weekend. Checked into hotel, showered and out to the Kings Arms, for BearHug meet. Not many there; damned humid too, so 'Suddenly, all my clothes fell off...!!!' Well, almost. Spent the evening chatting to someone whose name I have completely forgotten. Oh well.

rock_bear arrived at the hotel around nine on Saturday morning; had a little breakfast and headed down to Putney to view potential flat. The guy seemed quite pushy to move, and, even though it was a reasonable size for a one bed flat, somehow I can't see all of Russ's stuff fitting in there. Plus, it was a very warm flat, and I know how Russ reacts to high temperatures. That done, we wandered across Wimbledon Common, as Russ mused the pros and cons of potential abode. Headed back into London and managed to find some decent black fishnet material to make
darklogic_xl5's new piece of finery. Back to hotel for shower, then back to Old Compton Street to Mr. Wu's for a spot of dinner before the performance of 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang'. It was fun. By which I mean that I was cheering, hissing, gasping and booing with the best of 'em. Afterwards, to the Kings Arms for another drink - bumped into Little Mo, who I should have contacted the previous night to meet up - ah well... memory not what it was...! Thence, XXL for fur watching amongst other things. Got back to the hotel about 2.30 am - Russ staggered back about 4.45 am, the little stop-out!
Sunday, and after breakfast and showering, off to the Natural History Museum for a behind the scenes tour of the labs and preserved specimens. I'm afraid wearing a labcoat brought back too many memories of labs at Polytechnic for me... Quick run round the Science Museum, followed by lunch in a Polish restaurant, which felt very much like the Berlin Wall had never fallen - the food was "interesting" by which I mean not awful, but neither does Warsaw figure very highly on my travelling plans in the forseeable future...!!! Then, a walk along the Embankment and the train back to Portsmouth, during which journey some snivelling b@$t@rd stole my CD player while I was distracted at the trolley. Grrr.
Thus endeth the weekend...
