Saturday 27 August 2005Wow! When I stop to think I can hardly believe I have been here over two months already. The time just flies by. I had a pretty good week last week. Worked quite a bit, but it was nice because i actually worked four days in a row, putting in 36 hours, and so now have Friday, Saturday and Sunday off! Origionally I had asked for the weekend off to go to an ultimate tournament, but then decided I didn't really want to go and would rather hang around or go on a day trip or something.Yesterday my friend Ryan and I went to the Camden market. There was so much there! Lots of clothes and jewelry and shoes and all sorts of other knick-knacks and food! If I had money I could spend a lot of it there. It seemed slightly like it was going to rain all afternoon, and of course I didn't have my umbrella because I hate to lug it around if I don't need to. Luckily the rain never did materialize, but one never knows in this country! I did get a deal on a couple of bracelets and some beaded earrnings, but mostly I was just content to wander around, and take in the sights. The market right next to the Camden Lock, so there was this great big patio with a bunch of chairs and tables on it. We found a used book store, and Ryan became totally engrossed in it and because i have the attention span of a fly popped into a bunch of other shops and then settled myself to sit in the sun until he finished. Last night we had Matt's going away party! So sad because we were having so much fun together! We went our for Chinese food (not nearly as good as Cleveland Wok) in Chinatown and then for drinks. I miss him already! I haven't decided what to do today, I had thought to go on a day-trip but now that is noon, I think I will just be bop around the city, maybe head up to Hampstead and see what's going on there. Michelle is in Spain for the next week and Justin went to Scotland this morning for the rest of the weekend, so I think I will call up Emily or Dan (two St. Thomas friends now living in London!) and see if they want to meet up. 6:05 AM - 8/27/2005 - post commentShare and enjoy
