Went to London the other day and had a nice jaunt around the
National Gallery. The reason behind going to London was that mum needed to get to
Westminster but she doesn't like going on the tube. I was designated carer for the day - taking her on the tube, getting her to Westminster Abbey and then collecting her again and taking her home, via Covent Garden. Poor dear. I had a nice afternoon though, met a friend, had coffee, lunch and cultured him in the National. Of course, as in all good stories, this resulted in me waiting for him to leave as opposed to having to drag him around. You can understand my surprise at this, as beforehand my suggestion of the National Gallery as a good, free attraction, was not greeted with great enthusiasm. And then I had to explain the beauty of
Van Gogh's paintings. But when
I was getting tired, we had to look at "just one more," and go to the shop. Mission accomplished - one more soul saved from the dangers of being uncultured :)
Have sold 6 books on
Amazon now which is quite good - a little sum of money will soon be transferred into my bank account and then I shall be able to afford my phone bill. Always nice.
I've been in touch with the girl I'm living with in September, and she's lovely, so that's a load off my mind.
Nothing much happening at this end of the blog - helping mum out with job applications and so forth, but nothing interesting for me. Ooh, except
Soul in the City in less than 2 weeks now. Can't wait...
