Day-to-day Life in London

A ridiculously-high proportion of my time is spent on public transport. I did want to do a sort of 'day in the life' photo post for you all, but the funny thing is that in these modern times, the London Underground and Public Health Laboratories (who happen to have stockpiles of nice nasty bugs) aren't all that keen on people standing around taking photos of them. In fact, someone recently just got in a lot of trouble for filming London landmarks out of a minicab (he did look like of Muslim though, so of course he must be a terrorist. I'd probably be allowed to do the same thing because I'm white and female and therefore completely incapable of being a terrorist (of course, I am completely incapable of being a terrorist, but that's a personal issue not anything to do with my skin colour or gender)) so here's what I ended up with:



The tube station near work. Seriously, that's one of the more flattering shots I took. It's nto a pretty area. On the upside, as soon as I say the word "Colindale" to anyone who has anything to do with healthcare/medicine/science they get very impressed. As I found out on Friday, if you call up a company like BioMerieux or Oxoid and mention that magic word "Colindale" you can demand a discount and they give it to you.


I pretty much live on this bus. I spend more time on it than I spend at home.


The bus stop near my house. I seem to have moved into an area that will be fantastic and refurbished in a year or two, but at the moment is all road works and detours.


Daisy the cat, climbing up the side of the fridge because I haven't fed her yet. I've only accidentally called her "Curry" three or four (hundred) times.


Apparently "possibly" means "not at all" according to Katy who has actually tried these kebabs.
