It’s been a little while since I did a photo post and I actually took these pictures a while ago on a day when it was fairly clear, I had my camera, and I managed to get the front seat on the top level of the bus (the chances of all of these things happening again are quite slim). When I first started working with Spoonfed my mom asked me to take a picture of the commute and the office. I haven’t managed the office yet (honestly, there’s not much to see – lots of computers) but I now have pictures of the first leg of the trip coming home. You can see a full slide show in order here: Commute from Spoonfed to Bank Tube Stop but I’ve put a couple of my favourite pictures below:
I’ve also been making a dedicated effort to overcome my potentially dangerous eating adventures (although given the fact that my cooking has been more experimental, it’s possibly MORE likely that I’m eating something raw/undercooked/overcooked/mouldy/and so on). I’ve been taking pictures of some of the things I’ve made and please don’t think this is an accurate sample of my diet – I do eat very healthily, it just happened that the prettier things were the tastier ones. These are some of my creations over the last month or so.
Yesterday, I went with Sarah and Steve (the engaged couple with whom I go dancing) to Portabello Road where Sarah had to visit a bead shop to get materials to make her bridesmaids matching earrings. We also went into an amazing spice shop that had every single spice and herb you can imagine (and some you can’t). I took the obligatory picture of me next to the Portabello Road sign… now I’m just missing me in a phone box!
After Portabello Road, we went to Camden where there was a village fete-style event to raise money for an orphanage in Africa. I suppose I should feel guilty that through Spoonfed we got in for free and got free drinks so were probably offsetting the cause but it was a lot of fun and great for a free afternoon. Our next stop was going to be Poker in the Park – a free poker game in Leicester Square but by the time we got there it was finished. We weren’t ready to head home and the weather was so nice, we walked to Trafalgar Square where they had huge screens up to show the Olympics and the football matches were on so it was a huge crowd. It was incredible, sitting on the steps of the National Gallery, watching football in Trafalagar Square, with Westminster and Big Ben in the distance.
It was getting late and we were all hungry so we split to head back to our homes at about 8:30pm. Today, I’m heading off to the Victoria and Albert Museum which is almost always everyone’s favourite London museum. I haven’t been there yet but they have an exhibit about jewelery on so it should be fun. After that I’m going to the BBC Proms and hopefully will have some more pictures from the Royal Albert Hall. Should be another exciting day!
