Family were due in around 11:30 this morning. I had planned to wander through the park and meet them at Victoria station when they got there. Of course at 10:15 I get a call saying they will be there in 25 minutes and are running well ahead of schedule. So a very quick shower was called for and a fast walk through to park to make it to meet them. Collected them and got them back to the flat no problem.<\/p>\n
It’s been an absolutely beautiful day and I was not going to let it go to waste (despite fighting off a hangover). Figured I would head into town and enjoy the weather. I also figured that it was about time I saw some stuff in London. Having been talking to Dave and John about some of the museums around London yesterday I thought it was a good time to start and if I started with the Tate Modern<\/a>. Seen as this was a bit of a walk along side Embankment I thought I would wander along there for a while and then into the museum. Well, that was the plan.<\/p>\n Of course this ran into a couple of minor snags. The first being I thought I knew where the Tate was and I set off to walk to it. After about 40 minutes walking I realised that it didn’t seem to be where I thought it was. When I came off Westminster bridge, I should have turned left and not right. So I did a 180 and walked back the way I had come. Another 40 minutes later and I made it. Oops, it wasn’t ideal but the sun was shining and the music was going well.<\/p>\n Spent an hour or so in there wandering around, a couple of things struck me, in particular Cold Dark Matter – An Exploded View<\/b> (online here<\/a>) which blew me away when I walked into the room. That I could go back and see again, it was very impressive not to mention striking. I shall be going back aswell as walking along the river again there and I want to make sure I do the V&A aswell as the Natural History museum in the near future.<\/p>\n Wandered across the Millennium bridge and grabbed a bus by St. Paul’s back into the city centre to get some food. Hit Borders to pick up NME and Comic Showcase for the latest issues of Alias<\/i> and Daredevil<\/i> as they both end arcs and I didn’t want to wait for the next time I was going to make it into Gosh…which more than likely will be another few weeks. Neither issue was stunningly great, but they ended their arcs well and set up events to come in both issues.<\/p>\n London can be a very small city, as I was browsing in Borders I ran into a couple of the V regulars and boy I really do need to work on my social skills with people I don’t know very well. Really really need to work on it.<\/p>\n Other than that, it has been a good day for taking my mind off things. I realised whilst walking late in the afternoon and I had manged to loose myself completly in the day and nothing else mattered. It was pretty good \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Never got any of the tidying I should have done, but I’m still covered by the we have builders in and out working on lots of rooms and a new kitchen so not having any food in and hving the place in a state had to be accepted at face value (result!).<\/p>\n Going to spent the night doing nothing I expect, perhaps watching some more SG1 and of course CSI is on at 9. Then I shall aimlessly surf the interwebnet for a while and see what’s going on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Family were due in around 11:30 this morning.
