in bed last night i had trouble sleeping at first, thinking about how i would teach today, it payed off, good lesson, although i learnt a little about my students and i went a bit too fast for a few, plenty of time for them to catch up though, now i'm aware of it...
after work i ate in stinky - the cafe near there, then got on my bike and cycled up to the tate modern, lay outside there on the grass reading from the jose saramago book, eventually getting up and putting my shuffle into my ears, first a few lauryn hill tunes then lakshmi shankar made me want to not cycle on any roads, just drift along listening to tunes... so i followed the thames west this time, all the way round to westminster bridge, rather than forsake the music i walked my bike over the bridge and passed parliament, getting back on again at st james park,
hung about by the canadian memorial for awhile, lovely thing, gentle water cascading down, lots of maple leaves etched into the stone... tasteful, unlike most memorials...
then through to hyde park, a little rest from the music while i navigated actual streets from hyde park to the regents canal, this time i got it at very nearly the other end from tuesdays journey, that time i met it at the thames, this time just along from little venice, where it turns into the grand union canal...
lakshmi shankar still serenading me as i took the canal passed regents park, then camden, by the huge gas cylinders at kingscross, eventually to the other end of that tunnel that i stopped at coming from the other direction on tuesday...
today's route as compared to tuesday's route, only 11 miles or so today...
right, only half an hour or so until the sun passes over the equator, i want to be playing the fender rhodes and i want a cup of tea first...
