I went to Reading for dinner
Today is formula one qualifying day for the first race in Bahrain, my excitement is peaking.
Before it started I went for a walk for a coffee and got asked for directions 3 times, and I was helpful on all 3 I think, at least I spoke like I knew and pointed, I sure hope I didnt send people in the wrong direction.
After the formula 1, I headed out to Reading which is a town west of London for dinner with a strange person I know who lives there.
To get there I had to change at Paddington for the London overground, but I also had to buy some chocolates because you shouldnt just turn up to dinner without bringing anything. I expected there to be options at the station but there were not, so I headed out into the street into arabic world. It was quite interesting, people were smoking hookahs in the street etc.
Finally I located some chocolates at Waitrose and headed back to the station.
The train to Reading was very fast, and dinner was fantastic, 4 different curries all were delicions, followed by fruit salad. Whilst there I played guitar left handed very badly before giving up and playing Nintendo badly.
The train ride back was equally as fast, and I got home quite late.
If you were doubting that I really got stuck in a lift, here is proof, this is earls court station picadilly line lift with a notice telling you its busted. I think I broke it.
Whilst at Paddington, I spotted Jeff Loomis's awesome armoured van, one day I hope to be cool enough to have my own armoured van to transport my guitars around in.
