Londoninium

It was supposed to be an easy day of exploration but turned into a long day and nearly having a ziz in a pub after a couple of pints of porter. London as the home of the brits is pretty good. As an Irish poet told me while having a coffee in the Borough Market it's OK Monday Tuesday and Wednesday then it turns to shite. And I suspect he is right. So I did a lot of walking and chatting to bemused passers by. Not many people talk in cities a specially to odd looking old blokes. But it does not worry me. I even had a laugh with a Sth African but we won and they lost last week and his regard for the AB's is undiminished. My best laugh of the day however was saved for my walk down Fleet St. And there on top of a magnificent old building was a statue of a bloke with his masculinity (how was that ?) showing) and to my eternal delight I discovered it was the Aussie Embassy. I did enjoy that. So after finding Europe again because I asked at the Opera House for a toilet, and no you need to walk a block and pay 50p to P. The CTV will show a bloke climbing the barrier because after 3 attempts to put my 50p in and rejected I was more focused on completion than compliance. The only place to pee free is a Pub. Thank you Fullers. So tonight it is Opera. Very excited but the option of staying at home in the Air BnB is unattractive. A very neglected Council flat in St Johns with a protection order they are so unusual, well I hope he is right but fear they may all be run down dumps. It is magic to be in the "City" however. This is a special place. To visit ! The Cafe at Pelorus Bridge is still pretty special even after the Borough Market or Covent Garden.
