Olympics Redux

Gotta Love DVR by LeftOnBase

It's coming to an end! The two quietest weeks I've experienced in London in the eleven years I've lived here! Empty tube trains, empty buses, empty parks... it's been a sort of bliss. Where have all the Olympic tourists been staying? I don't care - I'm just glad it's not anywhere near me!

We originally had plans of going to Kew Gardens today but I'm feeling a bit lazy. Feel like tidying up the flat a bit, going for a swim, lying in Victoria Park, reading books.

I'm happy and a little excited to be finally meeting [livejournal.com profile] olamina for the first time this week after so many years of being friends on LJ. I'm happy about my two upcoming weeks of annual leave (which will probably be a staycation as we really can't afford to go anywhere). I'm happy that things are going well with my family in Brasil and the stressful emails have stopped. I'm generally happy with life right now.

It's been great, hasn't it? It's a shame the Olympics don't come to London more often!

If you come to Kew on a week day I could meet you for a coffee.

Thank you! I'll keep that in mind if I'm ever in your neighbourhood! (Same goes to you if you are ever in the EastEnd.)

I hope you will do some day-trips.

So, Tom Daley, which foot does he kick with, do you think? Left, right, both?

[identity profile] commonpeople.livejournal.com 2012-08-12 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Left, definitely.
