National Lampoon's European Vacation

So I lied.

Thanks to jet lag I was able to come home early tonight and share with my bloggers how Day One unfolded.

It began (well, began AFTER the sugar high and subsequent sugar LOW) with a nice pub lunch in Notting Hill with the Bailey girls! It was such a nice day out that we were able to sit out in the garden and enjoy some bubbling beverages.



We then headed to Oxford Street to show the author how her book was doing. The manager found out it was Jbooks in the flesh so we got to sign the remaining copies in the store. The manager told us that "Can Any Mother Help Me?" was moved away from the front shelf because it was such a hot seller and they didn't want an empty shelf at the front! How good!!??!



Our energy levels started to get low so we went to see "Ghost Rider" at the cinema. I love Sci-fi and it was a perfect movie to see. (Also a bit scary!) At one point I heard ghost sounds and wasn't sure if they were from the movie or in my head (as my imagination can sometimes take over). The Emm found this to be a bit overwhelming - slash - SCARY so she yelled to her sisters in a very loud voice during the movie, "ARE THOSE SOUNDS COMING FROM THE MOVIE????" They replied "yes" and then we all laughed at me.

As we were leaving the cinema, the movie premiere of "Factory Girls" was happening at the same movie theatre we were at and I managed to snap a peak at Sienna Miller. If you look closely you can see her head!



We are knackered and it's only Day One!!! I can't wait for Day Two when Big Gunner, Big Daddy and AB Bound arrive!! Darb and Bart are also somewhere in this city!! It's National Lampoon's Family Vacation - someone SAVE us!!!!
