What a Nike Day!

PHEW!  What an absolutely long, expensive-ish day.  Although I didn't really leave the house that early I managed to head to three different places today.  Nothing exciting to be honest, just places to buy things and watch people in their tourist haze.  Nonetheless it was a very productive day.  It was also a pretty humorous day due to the fact that I was exchanging text messages with my good friend from Aus.
My friend and I have come to the conclusion that we are super alike in terms of hating tourists and busy cities.  Yes I know, what the hell am I doing in a city if I supposedly "hate" it.  It's no that I hate the city itself, it's just the people.  If there were less (to ZERO) people in the city, that would be nice.  Obviously that's a no-go but you know, I'm just dreaming.  What about all of you?  Who here has a love or hate relationship with cities?

Aside from the busy city, I headed on over to Lillywhites (which is essentially a gigantic sports outlet store) in Piccadilly Circus to buy a few more pieces of clothing.  The reason for this is, as you may have read in my previous post I have joined the gym and well my motivation is fairly high at the moment so I thought I may as well boost it with a quick shopping spree.  I ended up buying around £60 worth of clothes which included two Nike shirts, one pair of slim fit Nike long leggings, some Everlast socks and of course some nice hippie pants (or trousers, as all English people call them).  On the way over to Oxford Circus station I ended up popping into the Body Shop (my absolute favourite) to buy a few things as well.  At the same time I received an email informing me that my Mountain Warehouse towel has arrived!  I mean, look how tiny it is but when you open it it's literally 80cm by 150cm.  It's HUGE!

All of my goodies from my shopping spree today!



After my mini shopping spree, I was headed to an animal farm to check out the cute animals (I'm missing my dog, therefore I thought patting farm animals would help ease the pain).  However, I was stopped in my tracks by the fact that it was around 2pm and I hadn't eaten lunch as well as coming across an organic store named Whole Foods.  I think I spent around 2 hours in there.  Everything was organic and perfect!  It looked like heaven to me.  So I went ahead and grabbed lunch at the same time as buying a few scrumptious looking products for my food cupboard back at home.

broccoli, sun-dried tomatoes all on brown rice.

After walking around endlessly just looking at random stuff I realised it was nearly dinner time already, so I headed to the closest station and journeyed on back home.  I decided to take the tube instead of the national rail (which is what I normally do).  Immediately I knew I had made a bad decision as my phone had just died and I wouldn't know which bus to take home.  However once I hopped off at the station that I needed to, I pretty much found my way to a bus stop that stopped near my place.  Once off the bus (I nearly missed my stop), I found some beautiful flowers on the walk home which made everything seem a little more cheery in the dreary old town of mine.



Beautiful flowers! If anyone knows the name of them, tell me!



Well since I've now written a novel, I'll be heading off to finally eat dinner!  If you like my blog make sure you let me know in a comment.  Oh and also, there's a poll on the side bar ... make sure you join in on decided which destination will be the next destination I head to.  Talk to you all again soon!
