Fish pedicures

Have you heard of this?












That's my feet!


Sarah and I got 50% off coupons for a place in Camden which does them. Camden is this ultra-hip area of London filled with 16 year old goths and would-be rock stars (we so don't fit in there) but it's really fun to go.

This fish pedicure place is actually IN a bustling Camden outdoor market, loaded with stalls and millions of people walking by, asking you what it feels like and taking pictures of your feet! Bizarre experience, but pretty fun!

The fish are toothless garra ruffa fish, and they eat the dead skin on your feet. Yum! And yes, some places have outlawed fish pedicures for fear it's unsanitary. Could be.

Sausages instead of fireworks

Remember Remember the Fifth of November!

November 5 is Guy Fawkes Day, and our church does fireworks. Sarah and I went early to help with the food, and single (well, double) handedly sliced over 200 rolls and helped Val cook the same number of sausages! We had a great time. No really!






Pete did some kind of security thing and wore a florescent vest. He's not an angel.
Odile and I dished up the sausages during the fireworks so unfortunately I didn't get to see them. Thankfully Pete and I live on a hill and have an amazing view from our living room window - I think I saw all the rest of the East London and Essex fireworks displays later that night and all weekend!
