London and I.....
Well we had a bit of a falling out last week when London decided to change roads on me right in the middle of my map, without telling me.....during a desperate attempt to make a meeting on time - whilst cycling my bike across it's vast city terrain!
I shouted at London for it's ridiculous excuses for "roads" and the "Harry Potter" style "Staircases" that change half way up them!!
Thus I was an hr late for my meeting, disgustingly sweaty, delirious and simply not in the mood anymore.
I also think I'm going to have serious bladder problems after cycling these roads! Think - Driving through a Safari/rough terrain in a Jeep with No suspension....Bumpy!Or Flying in a box with wings in the sky across San Fransisco with the most turbulence known to man!! (Barclay you know what I'm talkin bout!)
Take 2: Giving London a second chance....
I decided to cycle to a place called Wandsworth where my sister and her beau were hanging out.....
It should be about a 40 minute cycle BUT! Due to the absence of one major right turn I was supposed to take but could not find! That 40 minutes turned into a 2hour bike ride - I never ask for directions either because as proven, people are useless when directing a lost, tired, sweaty woman with her last nerve waring dangerously thin!
Yup - thank you woman in beige for directing me to do a COMPLETE circle that took me 20 minutes to end right back where i found her!! Hahahaha!
Take 3!
All that being said! I had a fabulous relaxing detox in Wandsworth and great company! Sitting reading my book in the garden with friends - perfect day in London, also Elizabeth and I decided to have a picnic in the park by Westminster - Salad, Salmon, bread and wine - best picnic ever! Lovely park, wave to the Queen (we'll pop over for tea in a bit!)
Then I got a job! Yey! Well it's not exactly what I was looking for but hey! I'm working finally!!
In - Anthropologie!! yes ladies Megan, Lulie, Rachel and Wim now I can finally stop drooling over your clothes and have somes of my own!!
So I made it to and from work in one piece and sans getting lost!
I also made it to a Fashion Group Picnic in the St. James Park which turned out to be so much fun! Met a lady who just wrote a book about Kate Moss's Fashion!! Cannot wait to have more chats with her! ;)
So London, maybe we could be friends after all...............
I think She may have been a tad bit Jealous as I keep calling Charleston home - but She's just going to have to be my friend regardless of that Fact!
London and I - True Love of just a fun adventure? . . . Stay tuned!!
Oh and it is my parents 26th Wedding anniversary tomorrow! Still going strong and loving every minute of their lives together through thick and thin, better and worse!! Thank you Jesus!!
