Camden

Met up with Mikey around 2pm at King's Cross today.  I def underestimated my jet lag, or whatever you want to call it.  After getting off chat with him at 12, I ended up taking almost a 2 hour nap.  We saved tube money and walked about 30 minutes to Camden, an area that used to be punk-rock induced, but since maybe 10 years ago has cleaned up a bit.  We still spotted the mohawks, and straight-jacket-esque hardcore apparel however.  It reminded me a lot of Haight & Ashbury, with it's ornate shop decorations- oversized objects comin out the buildings.

After taking a quick, self-controlled walk through the markets, grabbed a couple beers (£1.40/each), and a bag of chips (£1.29) for lunch down by the canal.  Shortly followed, by some live music that was actually very fitting and pleasing to the ears on this warm afternoon.  Mikey couldn't help but sing along too ;)

Because real men roll their own 

It was a very easy-going relaxing day, and after that we made our way back to Islington, grabbing some groceries on the way for me (loaf of fresh bread £.45, cheese £1.84, fruit £1.40)to get through at least the next 2 days breaky & lunch. And agua too of course, cause otherwise I'll dry up and die(£.49/1 litre).  Then, snagged a couple postcards, postage & shotglass for my lil collection back home £6.10.

Came home to Tina doing some ironing for some draping project, stressing a bit nonetheless haha. Therefore, coping by attempting to dye her hair purple.

purps :]

Well, the purple didn't quite come out.  But Tina made some delicious pasta and gave me the leftovers! Mmmmmm. And, now here we are.  Full, but craving a drink (Buy one get one free down the street whaaa TINA) Tina's sketchin and I'm scoping out exhibitions for later this week.  Cheers!

Total spent today: £12.97, but lets round that to £14, cause life is unfair. = $20 USD
