Day in London

Went down to central London today. First stop, John Lewis where I browsed furniture fabrics and tassels to see about making a new throw for my grandmother's dinning room table - since I destroyed the old one and all. Second stop, a walk around Soho with a friend and a visit to the Photography Gallery that's there. After we parted ways, I meandered around a bit more, had some cheap chinese and finally found the ice-cream shop in Soho I had been looking for for ages. It's in Old Compton Street, by the way, and the ice-cream is delicious. It also possibly has the cheapest italian espresso in Soho at £1.70. I ended up in art supply shop to get some coloured inks - I was out of emerald green -, a watercolour block and, at the spur of the moment, a fine sable brush. While waiting to be served, I spied the craziest thing out the window: Unfortunately my phone takes crap videos. When will I be able to afford an iphone? It's the first thing I'll buy once I get a proper job. By the way, that is Charing Cross Road they are all riding down in the buff. It was a huge, seemingly never-ending, procession. Very impressive really.
