First Things First:

Happy Birthday Mum!!!


Hope you're having a wonderful day.

Yesterdays Snow Day was fun, now it's back to Me vs London again (as in thinking strategically about how I'm going to take over this city, not me feeling put upon by The City of Westminster and all the surronding Boroughs).

I've decided that from now on I'm going to dump images from my digital camera onto my harddrive at the end of every day, since it did miff me yesterday that I had to run back home at midday to clear the camera since the memory card was full.

Also: since my phone [mental note, insert photo of old faithful] is starting to reach the end of its useful life (keys sticking = equals texting nightmare, permanent message alert icon for no apparent reason) I've figured that it is time for me to actually start actively looking around for a new one. Me being the paragon of simplicity and practicality that I am (stop laughing, you at the back!), I'm not going to go straight for the most high-end, diamond encrusted piece of hardware that I can get, but I have decided that something that I can snap stupid little shots on ('what an interesting menu! *click*) would be useful.

Dumping photos as I type, give or take a short detour ensued while I surfed the net to find the right HTML to write "Happy Birthday Mum" in big text; I'm getting pretty good at spontaneous little HTML stuff. Watch Out Gus, I'm after your job! : )

Anyways, after coming home, dumping pictures and changing my boots (my other ones were soaking wet from wandering around in the snow) I jumped on the tube to Stratford to return some library books then headed into the Square Mile to wander around Hyde Park.

Of course, by this time the snow was pretty much melted (bearing in mind that the square mile is usually a degree or two warmer than the rest of the city, and that there would have been mad snow-man activity with the crowds in Hyde Park).

So I just wandered around, contemplating the transience of all things, eventually finding myself on Park Lane (the location of some of the most unlikely derelict buildings) and then Piccadilly.

From Leicester Square I headed up to Camden, where I cooled my heels at the Devonshire Arms as a DJ played some rough and rootsy rock'n'roll. Mental note, pimp the 'Hick to him. After some Su-doku So-Duku that weird puzzle game with the squares wot people play on the tube I decided to take myself home.

By this time my feet were aching and both my knees really hurt, making walking down stairs paradoxically difficult. Snow Damage? I'll have to ask someone who would know.

Today it is back into the trenches and once more into the breach.

Over and out.
