i like to spend time wandering around their grocery stores like: tesco, sainsbury's, but most of all waitrose...cause it's pretty and nice and...expensive...not to mention close to my work! i guess cause i really like food, it's a bit exciting to go into the stores here and see all this new stuff...mostly the same food but just with different brand names and packaging...but still...here's a discovery i made in waitrose the other day...which i then HAD to take a picture of...try looking discreet with a camera in a grocery store...
the other day...i happened to be near the whole foods that they have here in london...so...for the sake of comparison to north american whole foods i thought i'd go in and take a looksee round...not to mention i was bored and i love food shopping - have i mentioned that before? saw this and chuckled - so i took a picture
n.b. the bin says "organic minced beef only" - now i know the bin must have been enjoying a type of bin reincarnation here and is probably no longer used for minced beef...but it's still funny
when i'm not in grocery stores...i am either walking about, in my apartment or at work (or maybe in a clothes shop) or i am en route via the london transport system of buses and trains...here is a frequent sight in london tube stations...now i know we have these in toronto too...but rarely do they actually come up ONTO the platform like the london mice do! really, someone should teach those toronto rodents a thing or two about hospitality and manners - i mean....the least they could do was make some kind of concerted effort to get to know foreigners like the london ones do (pictured here)...so friendly.
here are some things i've stumbled upon in my recent wanderings of late....above...i wandered down the canal today...yeah, you know...typical london day - go for a stroll down the canal - oh so civilized and all that rot...and came across this...have no idea what it is...but doesn't it look cool!?...yeah that's really all i got on that one...anyywaaay
below...yeah, that's right! clare street!! holy crap! you never see my name anywhere in north america! let alone my name spelled "right" and this street is just down the way from my house! crazy! please note however that it's a super short, dirty street that mostly houses the backends of car garages...no worries - i checked and there's totally like clare lane and clare place and clare...crescent or something in london too...i've assured myself they've got to be nicer than clare street...otherwise i might think it was some kind of omen or something...
catch all y'all on the flipside...till next time...lots of london love.
