The view from below
We spend our lives looking ahead, seeing whats to come and whats gone. Every now and again its a pleasure to just see whats surrounds you.
How often do you look at the bottom of your shoes? Do you ever look beyond you're 'standard' field of vision and what you can see by looking ahead? Ambiguities aside; The loomin building, the towering tree, the birds that fly over the traffic lights at the intersection by the bounds green tube station. What do you see?
What a fascinating world we live in, what a wonderous world we live in.

Day Two - Thursday, 14 Dec 2006
Alrighty, yesterday was a riot!
Ha, when I say 'riot'; it's very much what I felt like doing (at least for the first part of the day). Ella & I got sent on a wild goose chase to the Woods Green post office where we stood in a queue (...the same q) twice. All this to try get a London Underground Youth Travel Card. Alas if you know the British Rail system you'll know that they no longer do youth fares!! *sigh* after that El & I decided to make our way down to the London Eye. Neither of us knew the way exactly and started our journey to the south... Needless to say that after 2 hours of travelling on the train, we didn't find the eye until we asked an American (whom got off the same tube as us) @ Putney Bridge station. How silly!
Anyway, the Eye was for both Ella and I a scary journey as she has a fear of heights and I have an irrational fear of ferris wheels. It was very beautiful and very interesting. The view of London was exceptional and the massive structure of the eye fascinating.
We then tried to get to Madam Tousards however we made it just as it closed, but we have valid tickets until the end of the year (2006 - We never got to see it - we tried and tried but never managed to find the time). So that was basically our day on Wednesday. After all that Ella bought some fun touristy presents for her friends.
I feel, perhaps that I was a little strict with her and her money - first time in my life I've ever been able to save anything - but why should I have been so adament for Ella to save her money.
To finish off we took the long trek back to Bounds Green and chilled with Eillen & Angela while we rested our weary feet and Eva got back from her Pornographic directional debut.
It got quite late , 11:30ish and I made my trek back to Kings Cross with still tired and sore feet and a somewhat rashed crotch.
... and finally bed.

London Diary - Entry the First
"...and the sign said: long haired freaky people need not apply..."
First Day in London 12th/13th Dec 2006
Arrived at the infamous Heathrow Terminal 4. Went through the usual steps - Customs baggage etc... Nothing unuasual to report.
Eva met us at the Airport and we caught a tube. I jumped off at Kings Cross and made my way to my hotel. I was greeted by an odd but friendly Indian man. He was staight-forward and pleasant. I made my way up the creaky stairs and through the small doors & corridors to my room. The room couldn't be more than 3x3x3! The shower literally covers me, it's curtain railing hanging by 2 screws off the wall.
Thankfully the bed itself is clean & comfy and there is a TV about the size of a cereal box.
I am eating breakfast now - uncertain of whether or not its part of my bill - ie The one I'm not paying. Ah well the fruit is nice.
The general 'type' of people in the breakfast room are old english folk, however the couple in front of me is french. [yes i know thats an arbitrary comment, but I'm just giving you the lay of the land].
The waitress is from eastern european, tall & skiny with a wonky nose.

cover, the sleuth cant

reciprocation of interest
and openness of and
towards oneself.
