it has been a long time my friends. i am just going to tell you that i came down with the man flu which kept me from blogging. but i am back and ready. i had an interesting experience at the doctor because i couldn't just walk in to the office. i had to go to the emergency room waiting room. which took 2 hours. and smelled. horrible. they gave me a mask because i was having flu like systems. and i was very thankful for the mask because it not only deterred people from me. but it kept the smell away from my nose. they gave me penicillin which was nice. and sent me on my merry little way. this was actually last monday. wow. such a long time ago. but i have come back to normal health which is astounding.
can i just speak about stan and his uber goober hospitality. last weekend we went to the camden market in london and were swarmed with loads of shops.and great smells. they had people cooking indian food, south african food, chinese food, hummous(according to the english), etc. it was fantastic. one of the most interesting features of this market was the way it was constructed. a lot of the shops were nestled in horse stables. back in the day, before the market was started, the whole expanse of the market was a ranch with horse stables. it was so nice to see the arches giving you that feeling of being in a stable in contrast with the very modern shops that were selling quality t-shirts to trinkets and tinkers. hehe. we went into this one shop, cyberdog, which sold club gear. i am talking about hardcore club gear that lights up and comes with a small battery pack connected to your t-shirt. lol. it was so interesting because the employees were decked out in the gear. i mean they are a representation of the brand. lol. but it was just so funny to see an actual store dedicated to that one sole purpose.
after we traversed through the tunnels of the shop we escaped into the light and walked towards primrose hill. which was absolutely breathtaking. you could see the skyline of the city which housed the london eye, the london bridge, big ben, and other various places. the park is actually called regents park. and primrose hill is one of the many features of the park. it seems like a fabulous place to be during the summer. sitting on the lush green grass with a checkered picnic blanket. with your brie, crackers, and something else posh!
we had a very scenic bike ride from regents park to soho. which put my mind in a whole different view of london. i was a little timid in riding the barclay's bike at first..haha. i felt like i needed a lesson in the road rules, but i soon found out that a bike is considered a car on the road. so i was ruling the road. with my bicycle!stan you are the man.
just a small highlight of the weekend.
now i am eating fruit and nut wheatabix. this cereal is a sponge.so each bite is a moist.umm.intake of deliciousness. i digress.
cheersxx
