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!

Dear Eni,

I'm quite happy where I am now. I might come back with some Elves eventually, provided you promise to treat me well. And by "well" I mean enough sleep, no coffeine overdoses, good wine only and the occasional slashy dose of porn.

Yours sincerely despite my temporary absence,
Brain

Dear Brain,

If you want those kind of privileges, I think you need to join a union. Porn can be provided a-plenty, but the other things you have to earn. Which means delivering with regard to the fanfic for a change.

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,
Eni

Dear Eni,

I'm looking into that union thing right now. Thanks for the heads-up on the porn - that is quite appreciated.
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

Speaking of missing things, I miss you! I look back fondly on the days you appeared on IMs occasionally.

Yeah. I miss Y!M. Too bad I can't use it any more. :(

I suspect the coffee shops are for the breakfast trade from commuters. Depressingly few of them offer genuine filter instead of the 'americano' bile that all, without exception, will hand over and pass off as filter coffee if you don't watch the bastards like a hawk when they prepare your order.

What's mooli radish?

*inquisitive grin*

One of those big 18 inch long white radish things that looks like a dildo of d00m! (http://www.foodsubs.com/Photos/daikon.jpg) I hadn't seen one before I came to London either, but they're popular in some of the South Asian/Middle Eastern cuisine I think.

They've got the sort of fresh crispness of normal radishes, but don't have the peppery hotness so are sweeter and milder. They're REALLY good in stirfries!

Ah, we call 'em white radishes (how original!) Yes, they are quite yummy! It never really occured to me though that they are dildo-shaped.

*giggles*

Oh, OK! I started calling them that originally, but them my mum told me they were called mooli radishes and that sounded more fun, so heh.

I noticed the shop between me and the lab is selling nice big ones, so I might buy one there.

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

Maybe you should have fast marched across London with me after all. I have only got lost once during such activities.
