Went to work. Made a giant email list. Watered the garden. Couldn't eat enough biscuits! (The biscuits were delicious!!!) Read through some text. It was work. Tomato soup for lunch because I didn't have anything else of substance in my cupboard. I have to go shopping one of these days.
After work, I went over to turn in my time card at the Marlyebone campus, but the office was closed. So that's a job for Monday. Then I called Oscar to meet me in Russell Square for the opening ceremonies for the Bloomsbury Festival. He was like "What? No, I don't feel like going out. What museum do you want to see tomorrow?" So I said "Okay, see you when I get back and we'll talk about weekend plans. I want to go to this Bloomsbury Festival again just to see what it's like. There's an Asian Market and a writer's workshop tomorrow. I want to check those out."
"Writer's workshop? I'm not much of a writer. That's more your thing."
"It's more than a writing festival. Like I said, Asian Market. We'll talk when I get home."
"Okay. See you then."
There was a parade of lights and very loud drums playing the same rhythm over and over again. I joined in the parade eventually and was too shy to ask if anyone wanted to share their stick of lights. But I bobbed to the beat nonetheless and had a good time. At night. In London. Alone.
Surprisingly, I wasn't scared. I know how to defend myself, and I took the bus all the way to my front door, so that's good. Big City, you don't scare me at night! Mwahaha! Just try to mess with me, I dare ya!
(but no, please don't)
And now a real treat, an excerpt from my personal journal because I made a list of cool things I saw while riding the bus today. This encompasses the whole day so there's a mixture of things that happened on the way to work, on the way to Marlyebone, and on the way to Russell Square and then back home:
- Just saw a truck with Babcock written on it. Makes me smile. ^_^
- Pigeon lady in Euston Square right outside Euston Station. Wore a bubishka and had a big suitcase next to her. ^_^
- Accidentially read "repressing" instead of "representing" on a sign explaining the union Unison.
- Building near British Library with people as columns. (people = statues) Major headaches all around.
- Woman on street with gorgeous red scarf near Russell Square. I want that scarf for mom. I think she'll like it.
- Far guy wearing Packers sweatshirt. Noticed when he was leaving.
- Old bus going other way at Holborn Station stop. Made me smile.
