So after a very very stressful and looong week, I finished it by going to London, but I'm not explaining in too much detail because I decided to do a Day In The Life which explains everything.
So, here is my, at times, very blurry Day In The Life: London.
I began my morning at 5:25 - got up, washed, dressed and tried to be as quiet as possible.
I went downstairs, packed my bag ready for the journey and got my drink ready for the train. If your interested in what was in my bag for the journey, it was: my book "The Difference A Day Makes" by Carole Matthews; My doodle/mini sketchbook (which I may show you one day in a post), my camera, my earphones and some biscuits and my drink.
The taxi came at 6am and I headed for the train station.
This was my early, sunrise train journey which took about 2 hours. I took only this picture on the way there, I spent most of my time listening to music and doing other things.
I then went to Oxford Street and done some shopping and then went to a food court for lunch and had a Pizza Hut pizza and KFC chips. It tasted as good as it looks.
Obviously, nothing goes as smoothly as you hope so after lunch, I slid my rubbish off the tray into the bin, walked out of the food court, into some more shops and realised that my brace wasn't in my mouth.
I ran back to the food court with my Mum and she asked the cleaner if he would take the bin out, kindly, he did and my Mum expected him to find my brace wrapped in tissue in the bin but instead he brought her a fresh pair of rubber gloves and she had to do it herself. I found my brace and did NOT put it back in my mouth.
It was once of my most embarrassing moments, I felt as though the whole world was watching as my Mum searched through the bin. True Story.
This is a delightful picture of some Christmas decorations on Oxford Street outside Primark and Tottenham Court Road Station.
Next and final stop was Harrods. If you don't know Harrods, it is a huge department store which sells everything but can be quite expensive depending on what you're looking for.
I found these really cute 'Beanie Ballz' in the toy department and felt as though they had to be a part of this post.
Fun Fact: I saw the creator of Moshi Monsters too who was there signing his books.
Harrods clearly made an effort with the Christmas lights and I am a fan of the trees with lights on that you can see in this picture.
Now for some super-blurry "I'm running through London undergrounds" pictures.
I can't remember what station this one was at, I visited quite a few during the day. This is getting from one station onto an underground to another station.
Underground Map check to see which line we take to Euston.
Please stand on the right as we go down the escalators to catch the tube.
No seat, as per usual, but a surprising amount of breathing space around me, I was not squished against an unamused stranger. Hanging onto this pole for my dear life.
Fast pace walking, carrying bags which I am surprised got a decent photograph (to be honest, it did take a few go's but this isn't bad) as I run into Euston station to get home.
More escalators.
More of this nonsense.
Wow, very blurry picture. If you live in London or you have visited there before, you'll know how regular this process is. Insert you ticket, catch it at the top, run through before the barriers close and run to catch your train.
I then came up the escalators out of the underground into Euston station...
...and went into 'Ritazza' got a Mocha Iced Frappe and carrot cake and waited for my train home at around 7ish.
Woah. That was long. Believe me, the day went much quicker than this post seems to have gone. I had a great day except for having stomach cramps for the first 2 hours and almost going home. I'm glad I didn't because it was well worth staying.
I thought you might have enjoyed this because I think I have wrote 2/3 London posts already and there's eventually only so many things you can take pictures of before I start repeating myself so I thought this would be a bit different and a more enjoyable idea.
I really enjoy doing Day In The Life posts personally so I might do it each weekend when I have something interesting to share. Hope to see you again this weekend and you can see what I've been up to if there's anything in particular.
