UK Trip 2009 - Friday 17 April 2009

Went into the centre of London mainly to window shop. First went to see if the Crypt Cafe was still there and it has, plus it was also as busy as I remember it. So after some consideration, I decided to give it a miss and took the Tube to Oxford Circus.

Had lunch at John Lewis, although I was disappointed by the scone which broke up easily. I have no sense of taste at the moment, so the cream and jam were a complete waste to me.

Walked up to the Primark store on Oxford Street and this one was heaving with people. There was nothing that I needed to get so I left the store.

I took a bus back down Oxford Street and got off opposite the London Apple Store, so I popped in. It's a strange concept for a store and I wonder how much money Apple can be making through these when most people seem to be simply using the free internet.

I called Graham and arranged to head over to his place before drinks. Made it all the way there, but had forgotten what number apartment he was in, so had to call up.

We had tea and cake, before taking the bus back into the city to meet my other friends. I had a nice evening, although with the cold and blocked ears I probably didn't contribute as much as I would normally.

I was the first one to leave, although Shaun couldn't have been very far behind as I heard him arrive while I was in bed.
