London Report

Some of you will already have followed my micro-blogs from That There London this weekend as they appeared on Twitter, but here is the complete set. i had a brilliant time and have now confused myself with what it is i want to do next with my life. London felt full of opportunities, potential and beautiful people... i think i've already mentioned that the photos and images are now uploaded to flickr.

VT Towers is a lovely spot of calm in the London Jungle.   Sunday:   11:56 AM August 03, 2008  have stirred. fell asleep watching the telly box last night, feel rough & got a headache, but ready for missions.   01:00 PM August 03, 2008 VT&I both feeling quite rough, taking today as it comes. VT is being brilliant and constructing a mahoosive brunch of bacon, eggs & coffee.   04:12 PM August 03, 2008 flickring the complete highlites from yesterday's urban safari with VT&MN. may now have a ciggy & venture into the outside in the 3hrs left.    05:13 PM August 03, 2008 wandering about wandsworth common, discussing the ins and outs, ups and downs of it all with VT. fresh air feels good.    07:58 PM August 03, 2008 'moffoam. had a perfect mix of weekend sightseeing, relaxing and catching up. there's a sinking in my chest at having to leave. but ho hum.    08:00 PM August 03, 2008 @vapour_trail, thanks very much for having me, it has been brilliant being a guest at VT Towers. :)   09:55 PM August 03, 2008 any hopes that the return journey would be quieter were extinguised by the number of red football shirted passengers. i'm doodling.    10:26 PM August 03, 2008 judging by the smell of bifta coming from the toilets and the giggling 18-24 yr olds, i think the smoking ban may have been disobeyed.   11:05 PM August 03, 2008 2303hrs. leeds. its grim at night.    11:15 PM August 03, 2008 the fat man i noticed at KingsX is now waiting for the harrogate train and is wearing a Tshirt that says "i'm not dead yet". a woman in a red dress seems restless & I'm tired.   12:31 AM August 04, 2008 From VT Towers to Chambers it took 5hrs and 10 minutes door to door. Tube, trains and taxi. Glad and yet sad to be home. Had some time to ponder on the way home.     I know what i'm doing wrong. i'm perpetuating my own patterns. i need to quit somethings and start some others. sounds simple enough...
