London 1st Aug - 4th Aug

And then again on the 12th to 14th

24th to 26th

30th to 31st

I miss London. It's busy, expensive, crowded, shit weather. But it's also exciting and vibrant and cool and I have a lot of friends there who I wish I could spend more time with. All my memories of living in London are happy ones pretty much. Whenever I go back I struggle to cope with the pace and the crowds for the first day or so then I'm right back into it.

For the first time me and Mark were in London together. It's very cool to have your best mate from Australia on holiday in London ( a place where we have both lived before but never together). And we ran amuck. Neither of us wanted to crash at friend's places, we craved comfort. So we booked a place on Shaftsbury Avenue. Separate nights out with our respective pals then hooked up for a night at Fire in Vauxhall.

I rarely go clubbing now. I'm always disappointed with the music in Sydney. I prefer bars with friends. London, however, never fails to disappoint with the night life. Perfect music. A nice friendly social crowd. Had an awesome night.

Lots of dinners / coffees / beers with old friends. Shopping for jeans (30 inch length pants are a fucker to get hold of in Oz). Couple of museums and galleries. Walks along the Thames. Movies. Pret a Manger. Strolls around Hyde Park. Getting pleasantly lost in Kensington in the middle of a rain storm. Happy times.
