Finchley has a girlfriend
Her name is Mao and she is thin and stylish with beautiful blue eyes. They hang out together on the steps:

East London
All pictures in this blog were taken by Jim!
Today we went to Spitafield's, Brick Lane, and attempted to find some art galleries that were open, but failed at that mission. Despite that, it was a fun day out and about and it wasn't raining (hooray!).
Another fabulously behaved dog in London. They are all so good.
Shoes on Brick Lane. My shoes were killing me and I wanted to throw them up there, too.
We got one of these cute springy things on sale at the market for our future baby. We'll hang it above his/her bed. If he/she is a boy, we'll take the skirt off of the springy alligator that we bought.
I find the alligator very entertaining:
On the corner of Brick Lane. At the Brick Lane market, the artists have all their things out on blankets and they sit on the ground behind their wares.
About a mile later, we wandered into the Columbia Street Flower Market. There were some pretty spectacular flowers and plants down the street.
Then we stumbled onto a farm in the middle of Hackney! There were sheep, goats and chickens! It was refreshing to smell some manure in the middle of the city!
People feeding chickens. The chickens sounded a little hoarse...like they had been exposed to too much air pollution or something. But they were digging the feed:
After this we finally made it to the area where the renowned art galleries supposedly were, but none of them were open because it's Sunday and I was walking at a snail's pace by this time, so we headed towards the nearest tube. I exercised my right as a pregnant woman to sit in the disabled seating and wore my special pregnant woman badge which states: Baby on Board! (distributed by the TFL people). There is great debate in the free newspapers about whether or not people should have to get up for pregnant women, but people were really nice about letting me sit down today and I was very grateful. Here I am looking a little haggard:
And my badge:
Another fun weekend. Stay tuned for a couple of pictures from dinner at Meg and Dan's, where we met Meg's parents and had a fun time!

Belly Wars
Jim and I have an new contest going on: Belly Wars! A few years ago, Jim would have beat me at this contest easily, but not that he's all Slim Jimmed and I'm ever-expanding, it's a close match. We'll update our belly comparisons about once a month and see who wins.
