Progress; And So It Begins

So this past weekend, I took a walk into the East End of London and The City. I walked from the Temple Tube Stop, all the way along Fleet/Ludgate Hill/Cannon/Tower Hill Street(s) to the Tower of London, then up to Spittalfields which unfortunately was closed, took a bus along the northern edge of The City along Holborn Aqueduct, and went to the parks up by Russell Square. And I think I got all this done in under 4 hours! So now, here are my final areas left to hit:

-Barbican/Farringdon neighborhoods and other various things west of Liverpool Street
-the King's Cross-St Pancras/Euston/Regent's Park/Baker St Axis (this could be one nice long day walk that I might even be able to make it to Edgware and Paddington.
-Maida Vale and Kew Gardens and other parks that I am missing on the outskirts of the city

Maybe I'll hit some of this places with Mike (221B Baker St is a must-see) and my parents. So now I am on to attempting work before the onslaught of visitors and merrymakers arrive.

In other news, one day I went into kitchen and got dinner from my row in the fridge. After I paused for a second thinking about how my row looked, I sat down to eat and my flatmate came in to make dinner herself. When she opened the fridge, she said she was missing two yogurts. Then I realized why I paused as well and went back to the fridge and saw that I was missing yogurt too! Then another flatmate came in and he noticed someone had stolen a whole pack from him! We sort of guessed the reason: our flat door has been open because the flat across from us had their shower completely gutted and they had to use ours. We all figured out when one of them came over to shower (it had been earlier that day) they took our yogurt back! Now we are looking for a yogurt-eating kleptomaniac in Flat E....but to add insult to injury I woke up this morning to find our flat's shower had been completely gutted too and now we would have to use another flat's shower. Completely lame...although now maybe we can launch a counter-attack and rescue operation on their kitchen for our missing yogurts...
