A new Brit slang word I heard today from someone a little younger and hipper than I is the word "blurt." Instead of "splitting" from somewhere, you might "blurt." You know, like, "Hey guys let's blurt." Not as in "say something awkward" like I do all the time, but as in, "let's leave."
Place of the day: Brighton
We took a day trip to the seaside and it was lovely! Of course my pictures of the sea didn't really turn out, so you'll have to take my word for it. The extravagant/exquisite/whatever-other-e-word-could-suffice Royal Pavilion was fun to explore. It was the palace of King George IV, a man who loved his pleasures. Definitely the coolest royal residency I've seen yet.

Well, I must apologize, because it appears I have absolutely jinxed Banksy, the world-famous British street artist. Here is the maid, one of his famous graffiti works in Chalk Farm, on Wednesday. As you can see by the "wet paint" sign, its neighboring graffiti works were painted over.

A moment of silence for the poor maid.
Add on: Jessica tells me the maid is back. It doesn't take the Banksy team long to clean up the lack of graffiti problem!
