I felt lethargic this morning...
So I decided to take the bus and resorted to looking out for things that end up on the roof of bus shelters...
...seen any of the above lately? Some peeps call it art...
...I ended up walking as I'm fated to do so...
...the Flat White was part of the joy...
...but the spicy scrambled eggs even more so.I spent nearly two hours here; basking, pondering, snapping, nosing, eating, reading, dreaming, fidgeting, stirring, eavesdropping, smiling, thanking, paying and very nearly snoring. I do love The Counter.

How that bollard ended up on somebody's doorstep is beyond comprehension!Portman Square W1
Come grow old with me,for there are no more surprises to be!
Not quite as fetching as Beijing's bird nest stadium, but by George, at the very least we've got the 2012
...and had a most luscious brunch.
I have the same kind of eyes if you're wondering.

8.45 AMCabbing my way to Edgware. This is the much lamented Oriental City, what loss!
Edgware is not terribly exciting, and that's being nice.One-stop shop for plantains and shampoo.
Work.Installed this behemoth of a turntable that costs as much as a Fiat Cinquecento; if not, more.
No walks so far as I'm not familiar with this part of London.
Lunch at Jashan, an Indian vegetarian restaurant.
Dhosa- Mysore Masala with potatoes, onion and coconut chutney.Talking of vegetarians, MsMarmitelover called me on the phone to enthuse about her trip to Lille yesterday with a group of well known bloggers (I'm not worthy enough).
Strange dish of 'Indian Chinese' Haka noodles. Looked anaemic but tasted fine.
Wembley StadiumAre we all in agreement that this is the best stdium on earth? Yes it quite clearly is!
People like me.Football (ban that bloody word soccer!) pilgrims.
Stoke City supporters.Chaps, you're too nice and thanks for posing.
The sheer scale of Wembley market
I didn’t bother going in. I’m not claustrophobic but I’m not exactly patient with crowds.
She sells seashells no longer!Marylebone iconic chippie shut, fire of convenience?
(Oh just in case you were wondering about my usual weight-loss antics, I walked here from Wembley)

If I had a girlfriend now it would mean that my Sunday routines would be curtailed somewhat. So at least for the time being I’m happy to be unattached and proceed with the usual requisite ten-mile walk in polluted London as well as eating and snapping randomly. The world is blissfully my oyster.

Sundays to me mean walks, snaps and eats.
Most of my walking routes end up in the East End, this part of London never bores me. It's also the best time to appreciate before it ends up being molested by the regeneration programme.

It's a bloody myth that London is expensive for food.Seek and you shall be fed cheaply.
Met up with MsMarmitelover at this extraordinary caff. Excellent to have met the wonderful Daft and Ahackinhackney as well. I need to come back here for a full vegan fix before I write about it.
