Friday Boredom

So Madelaine is off to Dublin this weekend with fellow Arcadian-ites (Colin and Alyssa), Caroline has moved out of our lovely New Cross flat and into one in Central London (although we never got confirmation that she actually made it there... hmm...) and I'm sitting in my room bored on a Friday afternoon. I officially have too much free time. I think I'm about to head either to follow in Madelaine's footsteps and wander around Harrods for a bit or, depending on how cold it is, I'll take my sketchbook somewhere and people watch. Might as well take advantage of London with my tons of free time. Then hopefully tomorrow and Sunday I can round up some troops to do another market or two with me. I'm hoping to do Brick Lane Sunday, where I've heard I can find some great Indian food. I have yet to try any Indian since being here, which just might be the biggest failure of the trip thus far.

It's been a strange week since it feels weird to be here enjoying London when so many people are dealing with difficulties back home. But my thoughts are with Marin and her family during this terrible time, and I'm sending all my hopes and wishes for the best possible recovery to Lorna.

Here's to hoping a new week brings better news and fewer reminders of how quickly life can change. Trying my best not to sound corny, but alas, I've failed. Sometimes you realize the reason corny lines exist is that they sum things up the best.
