Crime stopper
Last night the ever resourceful miss Andrea took a bite out of crime. While leaving the office at 9pm she noticed a man with a van pull up next to a bike rack. He was merrily cutting his way through someone’s D Lock with some metal cutting instrument that was powered via his cigarette lighter. She rang the local police not on 999 of course but the local station and handed them the description of the culprit as well as his number plate!” Yea Andrea!
Now, there are three things about this event that shock me… one, being that it was in Chelsea not the ghetto of Dalston… two, is that not a single person beyond her seemed to pay any notice to the crime being committed… and three, that oh my god this is like so what happened to my bike when it got nicked!
My evening was much less eventful. I didn’t arrive home from work until 8 at which point I dragged my raggedy arse to the gym… much to my surprise it was still heaving with people! Had a good workout then trekked home for some very late night dining.
Today I am mostly wearing my new jeans purchased this weekend at Selfridges… summer sale was good to me… Only two more weekends till I get to see seestor! Then there will be even more shopping!
Life isn’t all doom and gloom in London… not like the uplifting cheerful postings that I’ve been writing as of late would have led you to believe anything to the contrary…. No no… that would simply not be true.
