I'm in Love

okay, so maybe not "in love" technically but man I have this strange feeling inside...haha.

What has inspired all of this you may be begging?

today's jovial walk in holland park, the theatrical raid of nottinghill's thrift stores, and the creative summons of fish markets and hidden bookstores, all after my refreshing siesta under a willow in hyde park.

have i meantioned yet that england is melting? as is the rest of the world... you probably know this. crazy though. london is not used to the heat and so death rates are up, murder rates our up, crime rates- up, and sexual deviant rates- definitely up. while working on finding the perfect tree in hyde park i had to practically fight off the men with my excellent karate moves. What's your name baby? Where you from? can I take you home with me?

Seriously can somebody please inform these men on the those cheesy pick up lines out there. I would rather be flattered by cheese than by their stench :-)

But the heat has really driven this city wild. Papers yesterday were screaming out against the bus systems. Inside a double decker it's about 40 C and the bus drivers will get fired if they wear shorts. That's ridiculous since buses are the only affordable transport around and then the tubes are filled with crazy heads. Sarah from work as well as other friends have been harassed by some of the many that the heat has turned into slight psychos. Not that the tube is dangerous at all. I mean I think transport police were there in a matter of seconds-but still, it's interesting to see what happens to a city as it melts.

I am thriving though. Still trying to beat the unbearable with pimms and vodka on ice and tons and tons of sparkling water. The not-so-distant beaches of greece are looking super satisfying and before too long we will be there- holing up somewhere, just to relax.

Tomorrow...is my last day at starbucks. I might actually miss that group of people- but not the job. Potter's House- I am coming home to you baby :-)

Ps- some good things have come out of this heat- par exemple: they are handing out a billion gallons of free bottled water everywhere in this city. today just on my brisk walk through nottinghill and holland park I had snuck away a few bottles and had the opportunity for more. Gotta love those free samples.
