Don't be alarmed, but I think I may have seriously overdosed on chocolate today. In England, they call 999 for emergencies, so if worse comes to worse, I know how to get myself help. Actually, I am quite enjoying the aftertaste of the last half hour or so. You see, today was the girls' last day of school. Little Farran has a half day tomorrow, but basically today was it. So, I had a very good reason to go back to Patisserie Valerie and get myself another enormous chocolate eclair with chocolate cream. I cannot describe to you the glorious deliciousness that it was. The utter contentment of the moment...it was beautiful. After doing the necessary chores around the house this morning, and after Farran was off for a big meeting and the girls were off to school, I pulled on my hoodie, my hat, my tennis shoes, and grabbed my umbrella and went out into the rain that has been pouring for the last three days now. Besides Patisserie Valerie, I had another errand to run. My aunt is making chocolates and I had a few chocolate shops to visit while being in
London that had very special flavors (rose and violet in particular). So, not only did I have the eclair to eat today, I had to (HAD to) sample the chocolates, as well as some I bought yesterday from another store. It was a messy job, but I think I handled it quite well. Along with the chocolate fix, I also had myself a very long, very hot bath as it may be one of the last times I get to wash until we get to America. It's incredibly difficult to shower while the girls are home because they think it is hilarious to walk in on me, and since the bathroom doesn't lock...well, generally I just wait until they are at school. Since there is no more school, though... Anyway, suffice it to say, this morning and afternoon have been my way of mourning/celebrating the last day of school. I plan on cuddling up in my bed and reading the last book of the Chronicles of Narnia until I have to go pick them up from school. I'll probably post at least once more while in London, but after that I'm not sure what my internet situation will be. Stories about New York and Nantucket may have to wait for a while.
