I am a shameless sampler

The Bourough market is an amzing, beautiful place. It's like going to costco on a sunday except way, way better. You get to have samples of all kinds of cheese, sausage, bread, jam, dried fruit, nuts, etc. And if you are still hungry you can buy an ostrich burger, a steak sandwich, fish and chips, english breakfast, or whatever. I bought oranges, pears, strawberries, dried apples covered in cinammon, dried pineapple, a giant fudge brownie, olives, and a cup of hot apple cider. Apparently this is where Jamie Oliver always goes to shop on his TV show. I can see why! It was awesome. We took the bus home cause we are lazy.

Yesterday I went to the natural history museum, and it was actually pretty lame. It was very kid-oriented and therefore the information was pretty basic and boring. Also, the place was swarming with four-year-olds. Gross. We got take-out from Indigo and ate it in our kitchen, which is way more fun, it turns out, than eating it in the restaraunt. Then Sam told us about some thing her friends were going to at the Victoria and Albert museum with lots of halloween storytelling and films and so on. So we went back on the tube to exactly the same stop we were just at to check it out. Turns out the Halloween-related stuff was all full slash sounded lame, so we just looked around the museum itself for a while. There was one really cool room about fashion with old dresses and shoes and things. It was kind of cool to be in a museum at night, but we were all pretty tired and we didn't stay too long. So far my weekend has been pretty siccessful. Now I am going to go do some laundry/reading in the laundry room.
