Off Schedule

Yesterday was a very interesting day.  It started out with me sleeping in till 3pm London time.  This is completely no beuno because this means I lost a whole day just about, and it means I threw my sleep off.  Trying to adjust to the 8 hour time difference is hard enough but to sleep on your home pattern is not good. When I got up I was famished so I decided to go out and get some food but when I got up to leave I noticed it was raining.  I went back up stairs to try to wait it out and decided to do a load of laundry for Jason and me.  Within 5 mins the hard and steady rain was completely non-existent.  As the clothes washed (cost to wash a load is 3 pounds) so almost $5 American)

 I went to eat at one of the best places I have eaten so far since being in London.  I had a glass of wine (red Merlot) Pasta which turned out to be stuffed Ravioli with a grilled tomato and rocket. I indulged, eating cheese cake and hot tea.  The experience took over an hour.  I will remember the meal as my first great meal here in London.  After my meal, I went back to the dorm which is about 7-8 min from the restaurant and put the clothes up and unloaded some stuff.




 I then ventured out to find my local Kingdom Hall.  It can be difficult to find your way around and in the evening I have to be careful alone.  It seems safe here but with so many people one can't be sure.  After taking 3 trains on the tube and a double decker I was right in front of the Hall.  I felt home.  Its ironic that people were on the way to the Kingdom Hall as I arrived promptly at 7:30pm which made it easier to ask questions about service and meeting times.

 I wished I was dressed because I would have gone in and just sat there. I found that most meet at homes during the week for service which would make service difficult to go to until I meet someone but I was able to find out what time they meet for service and all the meetings.  I will have to settle for the Sunday meeting since Jason and I will be in Paris for the next few days.

On my way back I made a few stops in a few stores and added a few more streets into my mental rolodex.  I got home after 9pm and around midnight Jason came to see me.  He stayed with me until the morning.  He probably could tell I really missed him since I pretty much threatened him not to leave or else.  He got the picture alright. (LOL)





Just as I predicted when it came time to go to sleep I stayed up all night and fell asleep at 4am London time. I finished my book Water for Elephants and started the amazing Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.  I woke up at 11am which gave me a good amount of the day.
