chill well in chilwell well chilled if u know wot i mean innit

hmm, today i got back from a flippin freakin excellent holidau in the uk.i was home again again, and it felt good. As you may read from the first blog i spent a few days in sheffield, and then went down to london and notts..

getting to london was a story for itself, cause i got to my first change of train in the trainjourney,being told most trains going to london were either cancelled late or stuck in traffic..which led to all trains being crammed and for my part i was in the "hallway" in between the buffet carriage and the bizniz carridg.insane.so many people and so hot, but everyone in good mood..and then the crazy buffetman started handing out peacnuts, coookies,apples,and water.very nice.train moved to next stop and stood there for another hour,..i was lucky to have a chatty neighbour standing next to me haha so it was nice to have a laf, also he was into music so that was good.so yeah exchanged som music favourites,shame i can only remember dj yoda..so got into lndn 1hour20minits later than planned,but not crap at heart just a litle tired..and mate wot a sight i was..in joggers, hair everywhere,smelly and carrying toooo many bags.dear.but i made it to brixton and went to pub wiv simon,karsten and damian(might ave spelt the latter wrong) which was great - thanx guys!!

The saturday(yeah cause it was on the friday i arrived)was spent chillin out in katies house in streatham, and then made my way to finsbury park where i was meeting mates to go to a jazzfestival in ealing..the journey itself was abit of a rumble and got me introduced to green gurkens..wont get them again i think not..this was wiv dilbert and emma and it was goodgood

then went home for grubs,,so i bough my favourite soup(am easy) carrot and corriander...put a bit in a bowl to heat in microwave (was very hungry) but then the microwave didnt work, so had to put it over in a sausepan and add more soup, but then the oven didnt work cause there were no matches...so it all got back in the container into fridge and i had frnch bread wiv cream cheese and tomato..made me laf lots.wimsymimsy

evening i went to angel wiv lotsa lotsa peoplw, 3 of them i met ingermany one of these were dilbert whose real name is joel, and joe and riccy, also met some siblings and friends..which onzly name i can remember is lizzy..and maybe andy??
we stayed at bar angel (which sounds abit tacky but was not) then went all over london..spotted the works of banksy and ald street.he is flippin nutter that man.love it

but it seemed my trouble wiv transport wasnt over cause the bus took 1hr n haf from london to bridge to brixton..hillarious..this time it was doors that wouldn close,poor driver felt so sorry for him, but got loadsa apllause and hurrays as we moved on and on and on and on...took a while,as he had to let peeps get off and the doors got stuck again

Sunday i had a lazy afternoon, went to brick lane to find brick lane market hafnhour b4 it finished.didnt find the brick lane market but found a market in brick lane.haha..got spotty scarves.very nice.busy plaze.liked it very much.then kept wandering the streets..went off to cambden and had some peeks in there too, but think ive been there too many times now..but the building on top/over the bridge is alwaysnice, so got some cards, a rubber fish,a mini tv, pirate plaster andpink box to have things in.yes.
Then met simon for grubs and fun.amusing happenings outside cafe and before..two elderly ladies(cant say old cause they werent old old just abit younger than old and definitively not young) reading the menu that we were trying to read too, but ended up just listening to one of the reading ladies...when eating..police walking old old lady to the bingo....bunch of foreign scousers crossing the street,all dressed the same...a building across the street with the sign (massive letters) saying farm..interesting..then enjoyed much much coffee, great company, ben and jerrys and various rides on the underground.

then when off to finsbury again for a film and lafter..i wish you all could meet the crew of finsbury cause they are a bunch of nutters for sure.

then went to nottingham,but instead of spending few hours on cooach i got ride wiv joe and liz - thanx!!!!!!

then nottingham wa proper chill out time wiv my friend bowen..we went for grubs wiv florece to a place called "fade & hard to find cafe" different name for a cafe..but great place still..and great people to be with.yesterday spent in town gettin some musika,breafast in pubcafe thing and then tea and coffe in this fancy place, an old music thing place and they had kept it the way it was,check out my pic for how they served the tea! evening was spent listening to fantastic music, watching french animee called"belleville rendez-vouz" WHICH YOU ALL SHOULD SEE.yes. and watching endless episodes of spaced..which was ok.haha
