Sunny London

Chucked a sicky today and caught up with George - also wagging work - for some quality trainer shopping. Ended up with an electric pink pair with lime green stripes. Hello 80's. Found a cool retro store in Covent Garden too, but parting with the pounds for the shoes did not leave money for frivolous tutu purchases.

Then a laze in the park. Weird how there are no beaches to sunbake on. And weird to be laying on the grass just metres from Buckingham Palace. Parks in London are strange too. No dogs. No dog shit. No children. As a matter of fact, I haven't seen any dogs or children in London. Only workers earning sterling commuting in and out of town, and tourists.

Also strange, today was quite hot. Easily in the 30s. Nice to get sweaty, but I didn't expect.

Finally some pints before heading home for dinner with John. Now it's 10pm but easily as light as it would be at 6 at home. Loving the long summer days.

And today was, all in all, far more productive than producing Microsoft case studies.

Tomorrow is bike shopping day. Yay!
