the afternoon air is familiar
rain and humidity bring me back to my first and last time in London
I begin my journey from the airport on the Paddington Express..a 16 minute ride to the central London
my taxi is prompt and familiar....rather chatty for a cab driver
I arrive at my hotel to find the 'lift' broken and my apt on the 4th floor....various trips back and
forth down the stairs to shop for food and staples makes the day pass
i now have the key elements- bacon, croissants, a prepared/package curry dish, bananas, plumbs, humas, 'crisps' and a bottle of wine.
the BBC 2 is playing in the background providing interesting landscape and cultural perspective
I am contented for the moment....will sleep and realize that my body thinks it is 8 hours behind the time that I am in.....a mind fuck!

more later...
