bike rides, sun tanning and corona
fell asleep like a trooper on Friday night 10pm I was zzz on the sofa. And who says I'm a party animal??? I woke up bright and early on Saturday 7h30! Jumped on my bike... stopped at the Euphorium bakery and picked up a freshly baked pain au chocolat and an iced tea and went along my merry way down to kings cross... then along the canal to Camden... then to regent's park (which is absolutely stunning... god why have I never been there before? I work 2 mins from there!) stopped soaked up the sun and ate my brekkie. Then I rode to the bike shop near my work and bought a new saddle which is immensely more comfortable than the one that came with the bike... Then I continued along up towards Kensington and around green park. God it was just so lovely. Being on your own like that is so good for the mind and does allow for much mental irrigation... the nice weather really does brighten your spirit. Perhaps that's why the Spaniards are so happy all the time? At 11 I rang jo jo and dragged her out of bed and we sat in Islington green having iced coffees. Met up with the girls for lunch at the living room then biked home did some laundry and rested.
Sunday was for sun tanning and then a trip to spittalfields market... met up with Dan and jo and jo's friend who's name I always forget... had a few coronas and watched the market pack up for the day. Some really nice stuff there... Good ideas. I'm going to make some really cool neck ribbon-like things made from old neck ties and buckles... very cool idea but the girls who had made them had them priced at 20£ which was extortionate... sorry but at a 5£ I would have bought two but they were asking just too much.
Stopped by the embassy later on where I met up with jo jo again and sally and jo's friend Lisa (who is such a doll) and her boyfriend who was in town from Wales... had a few drinks and some laughs then I headed home. The rain at 3am was amazing. such heavy rain is so exotic.
Short week for me... Wednesday can't come soon enough. I only wish I could bring my bike with me to Seville. Ah well.
