Well, not too much to report on today. I definitely wanted to take it a bit cooler since I had such a hectic last few days. I ended up sleeping in until about 10:30 or so this morning…which was really nice but not something I should be getting used to considering I won’t be able to do that sort of thing often once I start working. I made a bit of breakfast and then opted for a run. Now, I haven’t really figured out a running route just yet so I thought I might as well go into Wimbledon and see where I ended up. There’s a very large park in the area known as Wimbledon Common, so I made for that.
The park was beautiful! There’s a lot of heath-land that is being restored in it and it looks really wild and savage…very nice. There’s a golf course in it (right?), a stables, a cricket field, and a really nice café. At any point in time you might have people on horseback riding by you on a trail, which is really unique! I ended up running for a bit through the actual park but mainly walked and enjoyed the (still) beautiful weather and the sights and smells of nature. Once I finished I headed back down Parkside Road running to get back home. Wimbledon is a very vibrant little area with many cafes and restaurants dotting the landscape. It’s definitely an area I’d like to check out in the future to try some places and see what they have to offer.
Once I got home and showered I changed and headed to Sainsbury’s for lunch. They have great deals on fresh food items and I managed to get a Chicken and Chorizo sandwich with a bag of sliced apples and grapes and a Tropicana smoothie for £3. It was awesome! I also sneaked the new issue of GQ and read it until we were ready to head out to the Protocol Boat Cruise.
The cruise itself was alright. I went with Kim and Brittany so at least I knew a couple people. We ended up just having some drinks and hanging out looking out onto the shore. Dinner was satisfying but not anything to get excited over. Just burgers, some chicken, salad, and curried potatoes. We were REALLY far back in the queue so by the time we got to the front a lot of it was gone. There was also a David Blaine-esque magician on the boat that did some tricks for us and they were AWESOME! I can’t really describe them here but ask me any time and I’ll describe exactly what he did, it was brilliant!
After that we headed home very tired and here I am about to crash. I think I’ll do a bit of sleeping in and (finally) grocery shop tomorrow. I have nothing going on and will probably keep it that way for a couple of days. I’m doing a Pub Golf in Clapham on Saturday with Brittany and Nicole and I think I’m going to spend a lot of next week going to museums and galleries in London because it’s all free! Until next time….
Cheers, Love, Rock The World!

P.S. There will be pictures…I just really want to go to bed so I will load them tomorrow.
