I was a typical New Yorker this morning! During my 13 mile run I got to a portion of downtown and there were a million people taking freaking pictures. I can understand if it was buckingham palace (ran by there) parliment (check) 10 downing street (check, prime minister lives there) but this was just some random street corner and there were like 100 people posing as if it was the oscars! So after I berated some poor smuck who was using his human zoom instead of his actual zoom I decided to stop and look up. They were only taking pictures of one of the worlds most noticible land marks...."BIG freakin BEN"! Who runs by Big Ben on a weekend day at 10am....lesson learned. The funny thing is that this is third time I ran by that corner without noticing it. I'm obviously running to hard I need to pick up leisurly jogging.
Ok, being without internet and TV for two weeks was interesting. You don't realize how much you get on line until you don't have it. Between TV, internet, and some furniture I had devivered last week I had to be home for the dreaded delivery window. The funny thing is when they say we'll be there between 1 and 5 in the US that means see your asses at 530p. London is such a laid back city I thought for sure I was in for the long haul but each showed up by 130p on the corresponding days allowing me not to waste a cummulative day of my life....amazing!
Still no fish and chips people!
Gotta hang dry my laundry, more to follow!
