Surprise surprise...
With it being Saturday morning, I headed down to Borough Market, this was planned on Thursday night as usual with Phil at the pub.
A little digression first...
When waking up and going to see if a female friend (when you are male) is awake. When you get there, and find she is watching a DVD in bed, do not, I REPEAT DO NOT, lie on the bed in a half asleep state to see what is on the TV (in fairness it does face the bed) and fall half asleep, scaring the poor woman half to death. In my defense, after a couple of minutes, I headed off to do my usual morning bathroom routine, and at the point where I woke up half way through my shower, I had the sudden realisation of what I had just done. So an apology was delivered as soon as I stepped out of the bathroom (fully robed, before you ask).
Back to the main narrative...
This morning I got up late, as did Jenny, but as luck would have it, so did Phil too, so Jenny and I headed down there and off we went to buy some stuff from the market a couple of hours later than usual.
I'm none too keen in the market after 10:30AM, as it tends to get very busy. We arrived at 11:00! We did what we could as fast as we were able and were out of there by 11:45ish. BTW, I have no idea who invented Bacon (yes, BACON!!!1!one!) and Onion bread, but that person is a GENIUS!
Being the people we are, we immediately started planning for lunch. Having had no breakfast something had to be done quickly... And what with Jenny is living somewhere in the sticks (the wrong side of the Styx? :)) she was very keen on Sushi, as she has been unable to get Japanese cuisine for ages.
Lunch was good, this was the first time I have been able to eat Sushi and not feel sick to the bottom of my stomach (at the thought of the food, not the food).
Next we headed off to the Imperial War Museum. I was expecting lots of things dating back to the development of warfare, but the vast majority of the stuff on display was modern, certainly WW1 and later. Most of out time was spent working our way though the Holocaust Exhibition. This really wore away at my soul, it extremely very hard work. I don't have much in the way of faith in my fellow man, and seeing the systematic industrial scale mechanism for murder that was employed by the Nazis, ate a little more of that faith away.
Jenny and I retired to my place, and then headed out for a Thai meal from a place up the road. I have only been there once (many years ago), and I don't remember being too impressed with the place, but curiously I don't remember being utterly disgusted either, so 'nondescript' I think would suffice as my memory of the place. Since the place has managed to last a number of years, I guessed I must have visited on a bad day, or it must have pulled it metaphoric socks up since my last visit. The meal turned out to be better than good, so this another cheap, but great local eatery added to the list.
We got back to my place a short while ago and Jenny has gone to bed. I have called Sandy and I managed to convince her she wouldn't be intruding and that she should to come over. So while Jenny sleeps, I shall cross town to Waterloo station and pick up Sandy then escort her back to my pad.
