The workless day chugs along

I just had a walk through Covent Garden on my lunch break. I never noticed the rent boys and prostitutes before! It seems a bit obvious now, the way they stand in front of doors leading up to apartments over the shops, that haggard look compounded by endless chain-smoking, the unglam outfits that seem so out of place in the midst of the fashion parade. You could say that everyone walking through Covent Garden is a whore - but actually having to stand there under the sun seems undue punishment for people who are just trying to make a living. I think Red Ken should do an "Amsterdam" on Covent Garden.

I also saw a bloke that looked suspiciously like [livejournal.com profile] psych0_ex. I thought about going up to him and asking. If it is him, I'm happy to report that he's lost weight and become quite muscular.

I bought my lunch in M&S and helped an elderly german couple find the counter with the pre-maid sandwiches. They seemed awfully grateful. Then I went to Paperchase and bought some gifts for Jennifer (one of the Sissys): a journal with pink, purple and black dots covering it and a pen with purple ink.

I look ridiculous today in my all-blue outfit.

I am sure you look fine in your all blue outfit...my little blueberry!

I picked up the best shirt last time I was in Covent Garden, I also performed at a pub there and had a terribly good sandwich at a little bistro. I have so many good memories of my time in England, I really need to go back.

I am so jealous of the fact you live in London. I can't get enough of it. Whenever I see my favourite hangouts mentioned I cringe with envy.
