I woke at 2.30am, and
bearing in mind the relative success I had the other night I got up
and had a shave. I then pootled for a bit and went back to bed and
slepth through until I was woken by my alarm. I can't remember the
last time I was woken by an alarm. I would like to think that this is
a success of doing something in the night and going back to bed.
However I suspect that this is just related to by being under the
weather with this flu jab.
We got up, and it wasn't
long before the doorbell rang. The Folkestonians had arrived and we
made our way to the railway station where we met up with the rest of
our party. Eight of us set off to London on the Javelin. The plans
for the day were rather fluid, and fluid was the watchword of the
day. We started off at the Natural History Museum in the dinosaur
galleries which suited me fine. This fitted in very well with the
course I am currently doing about dinosaurs. We then went into the
gardens to do the Earthcache, and then thought we might have a pint
of lunch.
What a good idea that
was(!) A pint of lunch. We asked the nice lady on the museum
door where the nearest pub was. She said it was just up the road. So
we went up the road. And krpt going. We found a pub just over a mile
and a half up the road.
We took the tube back to
the museums. We came the scenic way having taken the wrong train and
having ended up in Earls Court,
In the afternoon we went
round the science museum. I say "museum"; many of
the exhibits were things I once owned. We also had fun playing with a
futuristic toilet game. And then leaving some of our party we went on
to follow others of our party. We made our way to Leicester Square's
Brewmaster pub for a couple of pints before walking over the road to
the Bear and Staff for a couple more pints. Whilst here we played
"Spot the Lesbian" (there were several) and
we cheered the dancing drunkards until the rest of our party arrived.
We then made our way into
Leicester Square for dinner at Ed's Diner (very tasty) and
having scoffed some really good scoff we perused the saucier
shops.before sleeping all the way home.
A day out in London
doesn't come cheap, but it's always a good day. Must do it again...
