Theres no such thing as too much walking
Tonight, I walked a lot. I didnt really set off in any specific direction, just headed down any street that looked interesting. This makes for boring reading I realise.
There are lots of decent places to eat in central London for solo workers who I guess are eating before they are going home, the places are casual, cheap and fast, I wish there was more of it in Australia.
Something else worth mentioning is that television in England is really terrible. They love to talk to you like you are an idiot, in ads, and on the news, sports coverage, it doesnt matter.
There are also very few actual shows on, just news chat about celebrities even on the BBC, big brother, occasionally they interrupt this with songs of praise or a repeat of a murder mystery show from the 70's.
Currently on big brother the big drama is they have to give up all their personal belongings for some tobacco. This has led to an all out emo meltdown. I hope they all die.
Tomorrow I am going to Birmingham, where they speak welsh or flemish or something, this should be exciting.
You would be disappointed by now if I took a photo in any other pose.
Look at my reflection in the building, an entire bus load of people think I am crazy.
This is my dinner from a Japanese fusion style modern cafe bar something or rather. It was very nice and very healthy, vegetable dumplings with vegetables and soba noodles. Cost including the diet coke was 5 pounds, so good value too.
Random architecture picture of the day. Only skinny people can get the coveted corner office.
This cat sat very still while I took its photo.
Heres St Pauls cathedral. Now I realise not all of you are religious scholars like myself so let me explain what its for.
About 9000 years ago St Paul flew down from heaven with the ark angel gabriel and defeated St Patrick in an epic duel. Paul slayed all of Patricks dragons and Patrick fled to Ireland in exile. Patrick was forced to wear green for 1000 years by one of the 7 ruling Jesus's as a symbol of his failure.
Paul and ark angel Gabriel became very good friends, and when Gabriel died Paul took his ark (which Gabriel had inherited from Noah) and turned it upside down and turned it into this cathedral.
The upturned ark can clearly be seen on the roof in the form of a dome.
They love the hoff in London. Streets are named after him.
Twilight eclipse shot from the bridge. Spoiler alert: Edward dies.
