We had the best weather today! It must have been about 64-65 degrees, definitely the warmest day we have had since...September? October? I went out with just a sweatshirt, NO jacket, I wore SUNGLASSES and I got an ICED coffee. It felt like summer. The last time I went out without a jacket was in Lisbon, way back in October. True story. Every day since then I have worn a jacket, although I have gradually started downgrading from my huge down parka, and am now wearing a light jacket most days (along with a sweater, so don't think I'm exaggerating that today was the best weather in months and months and months). I took Riley to Battersea Park and she enjoyed being out in the sun, smelling things, and trying to drink the pond water. She was patient enough to let me sit and read for all of 20 minutes, then she decided she had had enough and wanted to walk some more. Riley may be cute but she certainly ain't patient!
I also walked through Green Park and Hyde Park on my way home from Piccadilly. Both parks were packed with people out enjoying the rare combination of sunshine and warm weather. Overall it was a day to remind you how amazing this city is when the weather is nice, and people are happy and able to enjoy it!

Now on to Battersea:
Thirsty doggie!
Happy doggie!
I hope we have more days like this to come, especially since Dave didn't get a chance to enjoy it. But I'm not going to hold my breath or anything.
