As I had only 7 hours later close to 10 due to the flight being delayed in London before flying to Brussels for a work meeting I stowed my carrying on at the Left Luggage and trudged home with two big bags filled with clothes new shoes and a Swifter Sweeper.

So this is a test entry. And it failed miserably Drats I think it is my computer which has been threating to die for months now. sigh. Well please forgive me for all the white pictures in my last blog. I've deleted all the white pics from this one. Grr. http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Greater-London/blog-270577.html Often I get distracted and just wander.
