The Rain

My first day in London started well, i was woken at seven AM by my father. I should explain that i had managed to get to bed at around three AM that morning so i was a little sleepy. Last night i had frantically packed the very last of my things away and found a set of clothes that i could wear that wernt packed for London. These were clean but were next to some dirty washing so i put them in a black bin back and fumigated them with deodorant. so when i woke up in the morning i had some clean cloths to wear.
When i arrived in London it was a nice sunny day, i took the tube from the station and then the bus to my grandmas house. after meeting up with my grandma i spent some time with my cousin Aaron playing computer games. after a while my father was restless and so we went to Westfield.
The musical Sweeney Todd features a song about London, its sung in to parts; one by an optimist and the other by the realist.
The verse of the song that kept going in my head compared London to a great black pit filled with people who are filled with excrement.
Westfield was so packed that their were queues into most shops and all the restaurants, there were so many little children around and push buggies that when i passed a to let parents were changing nappies in the corridor.
on the way out it was raining and after a couple of hours it was raining even more.
we got on a bus for the last leg of the journey and after a couple of stops it broke down, it was a very busy bus but when it broke down i managed to get a seat.

When i got back to my grandmas i started face book up again and discovered a long lost friend.
This guy was my first true friend and as a result i have a lot of sentimentality towards him, on the other hand he was a bad child and so i fell out with him in the second half of my secondary school.
He was under a differnt name and i had added him a long time ago, but i never quite made the conection untill tonight. untill he spoke to me.
He simply asked what primary school i went to and introduced himself. he is a DJ, fancy that as close to theater lighting as you can be without being in theater. but i digress it was a nice diversion.
