On my street

Royal Opera

Near Carnaby Street

Here is a few things a didn't wrote yesterday because I was fairly to tired.

When I walk to Hatchards, I got lost. (yes, again) So I past in Soho and I end up in an alley where work prostitutes. It was kind of embarassing. I past my way fast (almost as fast as Chantal does on Matthew Street in Liverpool!!)

On my way back to my flat, I stop at Waitrose on Brunswick Square. It is a very nice grocery store. It is in the new Brunswick Mall. A favorite open shopping mall for Bloomsbury locals.

About jet-lag: I haven't really sleep in the plane and I didn't sleep until 20h last night. I was awake at 22h but stay in bed and got awake again around midnight and aroud 4h but I only got up at 6h30. It was the right thing to do (for me at least) because I am feeling ok today. Of course, I felt a little bit tired in the middle of the afternoon but it past and now I am fine. Will go to bed around 10h30.

Now for today. I took my time in the morning, had a good breakfast at my flat: pancake, blueburries and yaourt. Around 9h I went out to St-Christopher place. I change my mind and did'nt made the Wallace Collection today. In place, I choose to shopping on Oxford Street at Debenham and John Lewis. I bought some cute little things. Than I bought a newspaper and had lunch at Sofra on a terrasse. The weather is perfect so far: warm on day and fresh at night.

After lunch I got lost again and after an hour I arrive at the Royal Opera House. I was afraid to be late but I was ok and even had time for a sparkling water on the roof terrasse.

The tour was great. I was quite impress by the theater. Queen Victoria was a regular visitor. We saw a pratice of ballet and the guy was very good. I was also impress by the people on the tour. They where all old people. I felt strange until I realise that I am more than 50 myself so not so young neither. Anyway, from this bunch I was the younger, they were all between 60 and 85 I would say.

After the tour I came back to my flat for about 30 minutes before I joins Tripadvisor members on The Lamb, a pub near my place. It was nice meeting those few people from around the world. I chat with them for an hour before I came back to my flat for supper. Tonight I had scottish salmon, potatoes and homemade mixed salad. Well thank you for your attention and goodnight folks!
