Today has been a handful...
Starting off with the driving lesson that went far better than I expected. Thankfully I will have another two lessons before actually getting the children into the car to drive them somewhere. Although I have have my license for a while now it is hard trying to remember "just think the opposite" throughout and entire drive - and the fact that the cars in Sweden helped me out with remembering right and left properly; I now have to rethink my entire procedure.
I had planned on getting into Tottenham Court Rd somewhen in the hour between driving ended and girlfriend Anna had her job interview but London Underground thought otherwise. Although the strike was off the lines were still not going according to plan which led me to take a bus in the opposite direction (blame the bus, not me!) and then walk back in pure spite. I got there "in time" to see her as she came out.
SeaLife, London Dungeons and London Eye was next on the agenda since sister Danni hasn't endure hours of masses of people all staring at the same things, screaming at the same people or taking pictures of the same views. So we managed all of that over a day + a little rain on the side. However, being about halfway through the SeaLife experience (around where the sea horses bewitch all the visitors) the fire alarm went off and Danni, Anna and I helped one mummy with a buggy each up about three flights of stairs with panicking people running pass us (god forbid they helped). And just as everyone had gotten out of the building we were allowed back in again. Trust me, a lot of people can fit into that attraction at once.
However, that was not today's good deed. Walking back home tonight, I somehow managed to get a cat out of a plastic container. It seemed to simply have jumped into it but was meowing really loudly so I walked by and looked into it (silently praying that it wasn't a murder trying to lure me into their trap) but it was just a really tiny black and white cat. I got it out and felt like a hero, but it ran off so quickly I couldn't check whether it was alright.
That is about it though. Today could have been worse. Tomorrow, another visit to the National History Museum and Camden. I really like having people over that haven't gotten around. It gives me a perfect excuse to redo and re-see without seeming obsessed.
