Today I decided that I was going to walk to Brick Lane, since everyone told me it was really good there, and I wanted to buy Nice Things, and they're supposed to have a good Sunday market.
Embarrassingly, I utterly failed to find Brick Lane, but did accidentally walk to the Tower of London.
Oh well, maybe next time!
I also discovered that the area around Fenchurch Street has more coffee shops than I knew it was possible to fit into such a small area. These, I believe, are to exploit the businesspeople who come out of the offices all around there at lunchtime.
As a result of my escapade, I have failed to buy mooli radish. But never mind.
I gave up on navigation once I hit the Tower of London, and got the Tube back to Whitechapel, stopping in at Sainsbury's and spending far too much (especially if our fridge is about to be taken).
I miss having time and bunnies for fic writing. Brain, come back please. I want you to give me Elves!

Yours sincerely

Perhaps you'll consider returning around Christmas time, at least, when I can threaten you with reruns of bad Disney movies if you won't co-operate?
Yours sincerely,

How do you think I can earn something if providing me with said things is the ultimate pre-condition for delivering anything? We have to negotiate something there, I think.
And if you threaten me at this point already, I'm booking a trip to the Bahamas for Christmas. There's only so much Disney a brain can take before it atrophies.
I'd consider watching "Mulan" with you, though - Mushu really is kinda cool.
Still affectionately yours,
Brain

I guess I just have a sick, deranged mind and compare most vegetables to dildos!
