Local Colour

My weekly transport card ran out on Thursday this week, so instead of getting it immediately updated, requiring me to continue traveling around the city at the weekend, I decided to wait, and treat the weekend as an excuse to stay local. That meant no tube or bus, but that was fine. Probably walked a good 6-8 miles again over the past two days, from home down to Covent Garden and about halfway back yesterday, and then around the Kilburn and West Hampstead boroughs today. I was very successful with my efforts at shopping to take advantage of the end of January sales. Today that reached a fortuitous peak when I visited the local Oxfam shop. Everything was on sale for just 30p (60 cents) so I ended up with a Saville Row jacket and two long-sleeved shirts for under 1 pound. Amazing. Yesterday brought slightly more expensive but similar deals, including a winter vest for 5 pounds and two sweaters for 11 pounds. It’ll leave me all set for the foreseeable future!
