Vend Hopping

I sort of stumbled out of bed in the morning, took a shower, and dashed out the door.

Why would I do that?  It's Sunday.  Well, since I check my e-mail religiously, I decided to take J.W. on her offer to take us to the Brick Yard and Spitalfields.  I figured it would be interesting.

So, I popped out of my flat right as J.W. was walking by.  Quite convenient.  We sort of lingered around outside to see if anyone would join us - timing ourselves by my pastry eating (which was awesome).  Hey, no one else showed up - which made it easy for us two to wander around the markets.  I think I just might've gotten lost otherwise, actually - those markets are crowded!

European markets are amusingly noisy places - and London's are no exception to that.  Both are sort of the cross between the flea market and the farmer's market - and it's a happy medium.  The Brick Yard seems to be more of the "flea market" variety - while the Spitalfields is more of the farmer's market.  I saw some interesting things.  I saw tasty things.  I chatted it up with J.W..  It was good times.

I got an e-mail from a guy that does a "club and pray" thing around London.  Might as well make my first clubbing experience an edifying one.  We'll see how it goes... and if I can go.

Nope - I had no money on me for the reason that I would probably have bought something if I could've.

Actually, a lot.
I'm trying to limit my spending! Haha.
