We decided to do some shopping on Saturday and we ventured in to Oxford Street to do Primark. On the short walk from Bond Street Station to Primark we spotted 63 people carrying bags from that same store. 63! Well, considering that you can just guess how many people were in the shop. Far too many for my taste. I took a look around but had no energy. The clothes I collected in my basket were not worth the queue we'd have to brave so I did a naughty thing: I left my half full basket under a clothing rack. I will go back. But on a week day. Never again on a Saturday. At least not the one on Oxford street.
Afterwards we went to Argos on Edware Road. I felt much better this time around for the simple reason that I knew how to shop there AND I had jotted down the catalogue number at home. Unfortunately there was no shopping trolley left of the kind I wanted (yes, I am a senior citizen in disguise) so we had to settle for some other stuff: a torch (kinda), a yoga set and plastic covering for our out-door furniture. We had a nice lunch at one of the many Lebanese places (a pita roll with marinaded lamb and chicken in chili and sesame sauce) and sat out side. We continued our senior citizenshipiness by taking a stroll in Hyde Park and sitting on a bench by the Serpentine watching people walk by.
In the evening we met up with Chris and did Clerkenwell. We started off at the pool place and had a game and a couple of drinks (I beat Linus!!!!). We then continued to The Slaughtered Lamb and had a couple more drinks. We finished off at Tinstletown where I enjoyed a Reese's Peanut butter Cup Milkshake and we shared a platter of Nachos. The evening was great and I really enjoyed myself. Even chasing after the night bus was al right. A bit irritating though when one stop after another was closed down and we had to hurry all the way to Aldgate. Once there we were all stressed out since we couldn't find the actual stop at first and the bus was to come at any second. My feet were killing me as well. But we made it. And once we got home we slept. Long.
