Wow
Chocolate as far as the eye reaches... really, it doesn't get any better than this in a supermarket ;-) I went to the new Whole Foods store in Kensington and I was pleasantly surprised. It's a temple of food (and I mean a temple... they're very religious about their food), and I liked it better than the New York store I used to go to, although I struggle to say why. I liked the muesli bar where you can mix your own muesli. And the large variety of chocolate they sell. This is the last week of term. My last term. Sigh.

And it was like a parallel universe, in which people are passionate about books and literature. It reminded me of exactly how much I love books and how much I love talking about them. (If you're in London and a literature-buff, you might enjoy the London Lit Plus festival about to start, something I found out about last...
