I love walking around on weekend mornings and seeing the "walk of shame" outfits (men and women). Everyone gets so glammed up when they go out- the results the next morning can be memorable.
I was walking to a breakfast in Mayfair and took this picture of sunrise over Big Ben. I was in front of Buckingham Palace- I like to think of the Queen out on her balcony at the only time of day when tourists don't swarm- taking in the same view.
I found a wonderful book in my local pharmacy...
The toughest thing in London is doing laundry. I'm extraordinarily lucky to have a combo washer dryer (dryers are unusual) but I still have to dry each load 3 times. I've also had to (re-)learn how to iron.
I saw this hilarious old Guinness ad in a pub bathroom. The original Gatorade...
My diet is surprisingly healthy here. Fruits and Vegetables (Veg in British) are higher quality and cheaper so I can enjoy fruit and yogurt for breakfast. lunch is typically sandwiches or takeout sushi. There's less food around the office which means I don't eat leftover greasy sandwiches.
British marketing is sensationally catchy, clever, and layered. some of the ads on the Tube are really really good.
I haven't found a rhythm yet but my travel schedule lightens up now.I'm really looking forward to experiencing Christmas season in London.
Surprising... most things I buy in London are cheaper or similarly priced as in Boston
