Sunshine in London!


Blue skies in London! Don't get me wrong, I sort of like the overcast, but not freezing, weather we've been having here, but I was so glad to see sunshine this morning, especially the kind that sticks around. It's been beautiful all day.

Since most everyone else had class today, I pretty much had the day to myself. I woke up late, as expected, and only managed to electrocute myself a little when I tried to dry my hair. I decided to put it up in a ponytail.

A couple stops west on the Piccadilly line is Covent Gardens, where there is a market and lots of shopping. Since it was so nice out, there were people EVERYWHERE. I window shopped the expensive shops in the area, and even bought a pair of jeans on sale (£13.50!) I NEVER find jeans that cheap that actually fit me, so I grabbed them. Even though they may or may not be extremely similar to a pair I already own. Can't have too many, right?

I wandered up and down Neal St., which is supposed to be chock full of shoes, but I didn't find boots I liked. Every woman in England seems to own a pair of really cool boots, but I can't seem to figure out where they bought them. I did find a Muji, though, which has a lot of really minimal, really cool home goods and clothing. Definitely worth a trip back.

Once I was done browsing, I grabbed a ham and cheese sandwich and a ginger beer and people watched in the square near the royal opera house. Came back to the flat pretty happy with the sun :)
