London Odds and Ends

I am going to get run over at some point. I keep looking in the wrong direction before crossing the street. I must not be the only one with problems because they write what direction to look on the street. You see "Look Left" or "Look Right" everywhere. And I know I am still going to get run over.

I don't know what kind of crazy mojo I am giving off, but this afternoon someone stopped to ask me for the time, went into a discourse about my aura, then finished by reciting a poem for me.

The people here are serious about shopping. One of the stores I stopped in must have been having a sale. Image the craziness that is Xmas shopping, then double it.

This is without a doubt the nicest hotel I've stayed on my trip and the most expensive. Despite the Shell gas station on the ground floor where the lobby usually is.

Anything interesting?

Sounds like an episode of That Girl, on location in London!

Why do I know anything at all about That Girl?

I'm so ashamed.

Well, if it's not getting hit by lightning, it's being run over by a car. There's just no place safe anymore...

Yep, a gas station. It's a nine story building and the first floor is a Shell gas station. I'll see if I can get a good picture for you.
