A Typical Weekend

Friday
Half day, so went to see Syriana. An excellent and brave movie.

Saturday
Wandered around London aimlessly with a friend.

Went to Camden Market for the first time in a long time. The smell of 'substances' wafts across Camden Lock and everyone walks around with true or pretend attitude.

Popped into the Electric Ballroom, which is turned into a market during the day. Realised just how run down it looks in broad daylight. Paint scraped and wallpaper peeling. It's best left to be seen at night when you basically don't see it.

Wandered along to the British Museum. Strangely enough, I haven't been here since I was little. Checked out the new layout with the glass roof in the centre around the reading room.

Rows upon rows of books!

Wandered through the Egypt section but was loath to plunge right in as it was quite late in on the day and I knew that I wouldn't be able to do it justice.



It had been a long day and some people were more tired than others.

Wandered down to Covent Garden and watched a few performers.




Popped into the Sports Cafe to watch a football match but it was full of p**sed up Northern tourists on a stag do. Narrowly avoided having a pitcher of beer knocked over me. I won't be going there again in a hurry.

Headed off to Richmond to meet up with more friends in a pub there.

Drank a bit, but not too much, and spotted the actor John Hannah dressed in a rather flowery shirt, drinking with friends in the same pub.

Sprained the tendons on my left foot, somehow?!

Sunday:
Limped around at home and watched Battlestar Galactica episodes all day long, chilled out.
