Finding My Place in London

I'm cold.  It's been a rainy couple of weeks in the city, but today's been particularly depressing.  It just doesn't even feel like a hot chocolate could cheer me up. On Tuesday, I went to TGI Fridays for the first time in almost five years and there was barely anything on the menu but, of course, the prices were ridiculously high. To be honest, I've been thinking a lot about the last five years: the pandemic, the craziness, how people have changed. When people said that "things will never be the same", I took it with a grain of salt.  I knew I would be allowed to go outside again; I knew that the mask wearing was going to be temporary, I knew that holidays would be green lit and that I would be able to see my (remaining) members of family.  I just knew everything was going to be normal again. It just had to. I go to the cinema on occasion and sit at the front to avoid seeing people on their phones. I have horror stories of the cinema post pandemic, so if ...

Happy Monday everyone! A weekend in London can fly by. Or it can drag out painfully. I've had my fair shares of short and long weekends and, generally, the worst the weekend, the longer it's gonna be. This one flied by (don't ask me what happened on Saturday because I'll be clueless without my search history and a time machine). I don't really go out much on the weekends anymore.  There are a number of reasons for this: - I'm broke - I'm not broke, but there's nothing to do - It's raining - My bed is holding me hostage - My kitten is holding me hostage Personally, I do feel like I'm missing out a bit, but, unless there's something I really want to do, I can generally be found at home during the weekend.  On the odd occasion, I go out with my stepfather up to Romford to watch a movie and then, down to Central (London). We go round Covent Garden and Trafalgar Square and just see what people are up to. Londoners, tourists, the odd day tripper or...

Well, here it is. My first blog.  I'm gonna try and blog as often as I can, but for the time being, it's just Monday and Friday. First off, I want to congratulate everyone for surviving the year of January. It was difficult, but we made it through: we survived the New Year! If we can make it through this, we can make it through anything.  Next, I'm sorry if this blog wasn't posted on the Friday; I'm currently doing a survey while writing, so I can get a McDonald's wrap later (you gotta admit that they make some tasty wraps).  Finally, I'm planning on doing this blog from a combination of my phone and local library computers, so I thought I'd let you know. So, this blog is just gonna be casual and a bit like a British 'Sex and The City' because that's where I am in life (if you caught me 10 years ago, it would've been 'Friends'). This is mainly an introduction blog, so you just get to understand me and my personality.  I'm gonn...
