Day 12 - Tuesday, 9 March 2010

Working in Brent

Today I went to Brent for work which is north west of the city.
It was a fairly uneventful day, and went quickly as I spoke for 4 hours straight in what was supposed to be a 2 hour meeting. I tend to do that.

On the way to my meeting I had to change trains and discovered the boots chemist has a set of fancy scales, this was good news as I have been hunting scales that work, and I assume they are accurate because they had LED's and printed you out a ticket and everything.
Unfortunately changing trains and waiting around for a while meant I ate a cake. I dont think I ate anything else that bad on my whole visit so far.
To make up for this I walked around a lot and in the evening I walked from Earls Court to Picadilly Circus and back, and had soup and salad for dinner.

This is the museum of natural science I walked past on my walk, it lights up with various colors but due to the long exposure it averaged out, still looks good though.


London again then Hong Kong - February 2010 - Spotting nice cars in London isnt even a sport, its too easy, however this is a Mclaren SLR, the base price of which is 300,000 pounds.

Getting paid to walk around Soho

Another work day so not many adventures to report.
I did however visit lots of our secret hidden depots in central London around the Soho area, all down secret alleys and behind non descript gates etc. Was quite interesting.
In the evening I went for a walk along the Kengington High Street and ended up at the Whole Foods Market, which is by far the greatest food store I have ever been to. The cheese section was immense, and all the products were interesting. Lots of hot and cold freshly made food as well. Unfortunately I was far from home and bought nothing, as I hate carrying stuff.
On my way back I walked through backstreets in Kengsington, im amazed at how people leave their fancy cars right on the street. I saw examples of everything expensive, sometimes 3 or 4 in a row, the narrower the street the nicer the cars, I suspect I was in amongst the most expensive houses in London. Some places you had to walk down alleyways through like a piazza all cobble stones but it was clear everyone there was really rich.

London again then Hong Kong - February 2010 - I took no photos on my walk, so all you get is a shot of my dinner, which is singapore noodles with chicken and prawns, from Sainsburys.
