Worst Tourist Ever
This is one of a number of flower sculptures created in memory of Diana.
Gardens outside the Kensington Palace State Apartments. Was going to go in the State Apartments, but again that cost money :)

Portobello Road Market in Notting Hill
This stand had 3 different giant pans of Paella cooked fresh in front of you.
On my wishlist - this 1950s abstract painting. Approximately 250 pounds.
I came home with these cheap finds... Yes "vintage", I'm a new person now - in London I buy vintage :)

It's HR not HAYTCH ARE
Went to Selfridges for the first time. It wasn't really all that I was expecting it to be. Didn't buy anything for a few reasons. 1. I have not been paid yet and 2. I am broke. Then AJ and I went to Primark. This is a truly unique experience. Primark is a discount store where you can buy for eg. 3 pairs of tights for 2 pounds or say a tshirt for 6 pounds - obviously very cheap by London standards. I guess since there is no Walmart here, this would be the equivalent but much less comprehensive. Basically it just sells clothes and house linens. The line up for the cash is about 45 minutes and I made AJ wait with me while I bought 1 roll of wrapping paper and a few pairs of socks. Hey, it's not really like we had anything better to do :)
Dinner on Brick Lane, lots of little indian restaurants.
