London as I thought it would be

Rain, like fish and chips is something that is kind of synonymous with London, its forever wet, dull, and grey. But since I’ve been in London the only time it rains is at night when the skies are already black, and then the occasional rain during the day, but this is not too often.

Today is a typical London day as I expected every day to be before departing from my sun blessed country. I remember watching a movie at the Labia in Cape Town (how I miss those times) with Oliver before I left, and seeing those London skies made me want to leave cape town even more, today is the first time that those skies have made me think of the movie. I think the movie was called ‘Swimming pool’, it was pretty good, although Oliver had to explain it to me as I was having a dumb moment and didn’t quite get it.

The worst part about the rainy day, is that the oceans leave their natural habitat and pitch up on sidewalks unsuspectingly, this results in your leather work shoes being drenched in dirty cigarette but ridden water.

Even though this may sound rather grim, I quite like these days, after all there are always the pub lunches with good looking ladies to look forward to. Drinking a pint during your lunch hour (informally extended on Fridays) over here is considered the norm, so like they say (who exactly are ‘they’) when in Rome…
