sat under a beautiful green tree at southwark cathedral waiting for the rain to stop

late lunch at borough markets
     five organic salads from a very friendly man
     incredible portugese tart for sweets
     tasted goats milk ice cream


walked down to Westminster Abbey + Houses of Parliament, said hello to Big Ben, looked up at London Eye


saw incredible street dancers
a man playing one of the many free pianos placed around the city due to the festival
took a photo of and had a chat to a young man playing harmonica under a bridge - he had on a bow tie


tackled Westminster tube stop  at peak hour and didnt get lost (proudest life moment)
met brodie for cider after work
white wine + proper kebab for dinner
