London one-way!

Last week I moved all the stuff I had accumulated at Imogen’s back to my place, and began to get myself organised. Having had several weeks to assess my current needs and wants, I began where any woman would – the kitchen – before settling into my room for several hours to Spring clean all the crap I don’t need or haven’t used or needed to organise.

This weekend I was invited to go with Imogen down to Beaulieu (more pronounced as Burley), which is in the New Forest, Hampshire – in other words, Jane Austen country – how inspiring.

And this feed is coming to you from the fifth floor of Grafton Square. I’m so high I can see the whole top half of the bright red lights from the London eye, up north in Westminster. The skyline is my perfect view, and the window with the desk sat in front is the perfect inspiration for any writer, amateur or professional.

Sigh.

Yes that’s how I feel. I don’t know whether to talk from now backwards, or begin and go along in chronological order. Well today was busy, usually Thursdays is a grocery shop and then not really much, but today my 9-9 shift also involved the doctor and the dentist, which didn’t mean much me time.

Its 7.30 on Sunday morning and I’m already on my way to work. I’d like to say I’m halfway there but going from east London to Sth west London is not the quickest journey, especially when l have to swap for the national rail.
