Blunders and Faux Pas in Sabrina's London Diaries

Hello My Wonderful Readers,
Thank you for reading Sabrina's London Diaries and subscribing. I am heading to almost over 100 posts in a few days. It's been an exciting pleasure for me to write in my diaries and share my experiences with the public, and good friends.

I wanted to let you know that I had to repost my last blog, and sorry if your getting a second posting. I want to get it right this time.

Also, wanted to say, that I am still very NEW to Blogging.  When someone told me to write about my experiences in London in Autumn 2008, I didn't know how to do it. I had to teach myself everything, pretty much, and AM  STILL teaching myself everything along the way. Usually, I am learning by experimentation.That said, I don't understand how everything works, and sometimes, if you get things from DIGG, sorry but I still don't understand how that happens, nor how to fix it.  Evertime, I publish some content from other articles I write online on DIGG it goes to my Sabrina's London Diaries blog. 

Recently, I published some quizzes and meant them to be published just on the side bar of my blog,Learning Spanish is Fun, ( it was meant for my Spanish students). I was surprised to find the Quizes published in all my blogs and as a post in Sabrina's London Diaries  I just don't get it.  So forgive me. Thanks in advance.

Hey, I did manage to put TABS in all my 3 blogs and to change the photos. So, I do know something. ( hehehe)... and evolution is possible... (he he).

sincerely,
Sabrina Grace

Part 1: Friends in London

One of the nicest things about living in London was meeting interesting people from all over the world. I met friends from Azerbaijan, Malta, Mauritius, Morocco, Malaysia, Libya, Egypt, Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, Turkey, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Spain, France, Italy, Sweden. Since England has so many people residing from it's Commonwealth countries, I also met a lot of people from  South Africa, Australia, New Zealand. 

 One of the nicest people I met, and the most interesting was this opera singer, Joy, who hailed from New Zealand. I met Joy while we were staying at the same hostel for a few months in Hyde Park. One day, I heard someone howling from one of the corridors. But, in fact, it wasn't the howling of a banshee, it was this beautiful voice singing opera. I so admired her from the beginning, for having the chutzpah to practice her singing any little corner she could find.  Joy is half Somoan, and half Welsh,and was very sweet, she travelled all over England selling jewelry in castles and would regale me with her adventurous stories, by saying ," What's going on in the universe?" She was a real  Bohemian free spirit.I thought I was adventurous, she would still hitch hike all over England. She also travelled to Palestine and Lebanon, and said how she almost got decapitated over there.  She's my kind of girl, intelligent,fun, artistic and gorgeous. If that wasn't enough, she could recite Aristotle. She taught me a lot about opera, The Greek Philosphers. Wow !

One night, we hung out in my little flat in Bayswater, and we would listen to both our favorite Aria, from the movie Farinelli.

After a night of partying drinking cider and eating Brussels Pate.

Joy turned me on to Pate for eating instead of Chicken, we would eat copious amounts ofPate, Brie Cheese and crackers.

Sabrina and Katerina, Pizza Express near The Globe Theater- Southbank-London

I had known Katerina Weiss for a very long time. Katerina is from Check Republic. She came to visit me with her Doctor boyfriend in London. We all went out together to Pizza Express. I had known her since 1999, when we worked at Rizzoli's bookstore together. She's very intelligent, childlike and very sweet. She was married to the famous Chekoslavkian film maker, Jerry Weiss, he passed away and now she married his friend. Katerina is very well-read, and always lets me know about the best books. Apparently, she's moved back to Pennsylvania to be with her Doctor boyfriend Peter, and now they live in some farmhouse, in the outskirts of Philadelphia. She's invited me to visit her, but I haven't been able to make it over there yet. I am to busy still writing about my time in London. Ha ! Will find time, in the future, to visit her.

She met me in London along with some other friends, we went to the Globe Theater to watch Shakespeare as a groundling. I think the play was As You Like it.
