Our mission ... should we choose to accept it
With the exception of our ski trip, we've been particularly lazy of late. Our weekends have been consisting of ambling out of bed much later than we would like, sitting in front of a computer screen for more hours during the day than we would like, washing, hanging and folding more clothes than I ever would have liked, staring at the television for far too many hours, procrastinating for far too long before we decide we're actually going to leave the house and do something for the day only to find ourselves out somewhere (not particularly anywhere of note) wandering around wondering what to do. We have managed to get some running in which has been good and a few movies and restaurants ... but that's about it. Weekends come and weekends go. All too fast, yet all too slow for my liking.
Around this time last year Paul and I had the perfect weekend routine happening. One day would be just him and I together - walking, sightseeing, discovering, taking photos, eating out, indulging etc and the other day we would do our own thing. This could be for Paul; playing music, tinkering on his laptop, watching endless episodes of Star Trek, going to the gym, window-shopping and for me it would be; walking, photography, cycling, shopping, meeting up with friends, blogging and cooking ... lots and lots of cooking. It was perfect harmony, like ying and yang, two peas in a pod yada yada yada.
For various reasons our applecart is upset. So this morning (after waking up far too late again) we gave ourselves a challenge. A mission ... should we choose to accept it. That mission was to write down a list of 10 things to do in London ... and do them gosh darn it. Just do them! Simple. Right? We'll see.
So this list of top 10 things are (in no particular order)
Madame Tussauds
London Zoo
London Eye
Windsor Castle
Bluewater Shopping Centre
Kew Gardens
Billy Elliott @ the Theatre
Cycle along the Thames
London Dungeon
Go to a concert
For those who live here, or have visited London, feel free to add some suggestions to our mission. We're open to them.

I would give Madam Tussauds a miss. It is overprced, rubbish and celebrity obsessed! Not too sure about Blue water either but if you like shopping i guess...

Bit slow I know but have only just read this! and now I don't feel so bad, your weekend mornings sound like mine - sans kids of course, which have been the cause of much frustration for me for a while and only this morning resulted in an action plan being put into place too... funny coincidence.
