It&#8217;s quite the gem, I was just reminiscing the other day about how I missed Lion bars &#8211; and they have them! Along with Aero bars, Curly Wurlys, Jaffa cakes. I did indulge a little in these goodies, but I was actually there to pick up some PG Tips and Yorkshire tea and Digestive biscuits to bring to the <a href=\"http:\/\/uds.ubuntu.com\">Ubuntu Developer Summit<\/a> next week.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/princessleia.com\/images\/journalpics\/052011\/british_grocery.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/princessleia.com\/images\/journalpics\/052011\/british_grocery_sm.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\"><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>From there I headed over to the <a href=\"http:\/\/partimus.org\/cacs.php\">Partimus computer lab at Creative Arts Charter School<\/a> for a <a href=\"http:\/\/partimus.org\">Partimus<\/a> board meeting. The meeting went quite well, we knocked off much of our agenda in just over an hour and we were able to be on our way.<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday morning I woke up with some congestion and a sore throat, but music drifted down our street from the annual <a href=\"http:\/\/howweird.org\/\">How Weird Street Faire<\/a> that has an entrance next to our building. I was out of town last year during the festivities so this was the first time MJ and I could go together.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/princessleia.com\/images\/journalpics\/052011\/weirdfaire2011_2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/princessleia.com\/images\/journalpics\/052011\/weirdfaire2011_2_sm.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\"><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/princessleia.com\/images\/journalpics\/052011\/weirdfaire2011_1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/princessleia.com\/images\/journalpics\/052011\/weirdfaire2011_1_sm.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\"><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>It was an interesting street faire, typical offerings of street food, a bunch of music stages throughout the streets that were closed and an eclectic mix of street vendors offering everything from jewelry to extravagant hats to full body costumes. I didn&#8217;t end up buying anything but it was certainly fun to visit an event that was practically on our doorstep. I then spent about an hour up on the roof deck reading before heading back to our condo and taking a two hour nap thanks to that cold I had been trying all day to ignore I had. The rest of the evening was surrendered to the cold, curled up on the couch watching <em>Bones<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>My cold is now mostly gone and this week at work I&#8217;m striving to wrap up some major projects as I prepare for a month of traveling weekends!<\/p>\n<p><strong>May 7 &#8211; 14<\/strong> &#8211; Ubuntu Developer Summit in Budapest, Hungary<br \/>\n<strong>May 21 &#8211; 23<\/strong> &#8211; Bat Mitzvah for MJ&#8217;s relative in Miami, Florida<br \/>\n<strong>May 27 &#8211; 30<\/strong> &#8211; Visiting my sister and her husband in Edmonton, Alberta<\/p>\n<p>It should be an interesting month, I&#8217;ve never traveled this much in such a short span before.
