I can't believe that just a few weeks ago I was sitting in Dubai writing postcards... In London just a few lilac blossoms are out on the bush two floors below my window, but it is enough to make the air smell sweet. For the first time this year I have dried my clothes on the outdoor line in the sun. The neighbourhood cats took great interest in the ritual of walking back and forth to the basket to get more clothes. The little taby watched from behind a chair in the bushes, but after 5 items decided to ignore me. If they would stop using the gravel in our little garden as a big litter box I might feel more friendly towards them...
Not much writing happened today, although I did a bit of thinking. Tomorrow it will happen. The only thing I really have to do is pay for a new travel card...replacing a lost student oyster card ended up costing me 55 pounds! I'll be complaining to someone - why the student has to get punished when they have no money to begin with is beyond me!
I made a really good cauliflower, potato and fish soup/chowder with soy milk. It tastes of home, although the soy does make for a slightly different texture. And I bought some truly luxurious hot chocolate mix with vanilla and chilli from a place near Liverpool Street Station! That will be my legacy to London - finding all the best places to get hot chocolate!
