London
27/10/2011
It has been a slow day, full of emails from the Library WiFi and packing up for my trip home. I did some sight-seeing around Barking and there is a "country-village" side that I had not discovered before (because I was not here during the week-days). I had lunch in the Church Hall where they run a tea-shop and serve the English food I remember from my first visit to England. Boiled potatoes, stewed vege, and unidentifiable meat. Rice pudding or treacle sponge for desert. Same price as the High Street take-aways and probably the same nutritional value. The clientele seemed to be exclusively anglo-saxon old-aged pensioners. It is raining intermittently so I am indoors most of the day.
I copied important files onto my second memory stick which will go into my wallet, so I have covered myself as well as possible against loss of data. Now all I have to do is to negotiate my way to Heathrow and to get myself home.
