Alice in Wonderland

I am at the moment sitting in my hotel room in Paddington. It is 8: 48 pm and full day light. The last few days in London have been just amazing. All by myself, I have been, I don't want to use the word roaming, but yes literally I have been doing that on the streets of London. Courtesy myself:) and the brilliant bus service of London, I know almost every street of Central London. I decided to carry the map and find places worth seeing on my own and boy! I found Hyde Park, Madame Taussads, Selfriges, Hamleys, Harrods and Leicester Square. Also, the first day, when I reached London, I took the Heathrow Express and it took me to Paddington in 15 minutes. I think it is the fastest train service. Even if not, it is like a genie for me that would now take me directly to the Airport. I just love the transport system of UK. And....also.... I am very pleased with myself:), have given a pat on my back and also given myself an 'A' for good direction sense. On the third day of my trip, I took a sight seeing tour. Saw everything I had always wanted to see.

Now, enough, back to work. So, tube from Paddington to Kings Cross and the Capital Connect from Kings cross to Letchworth. Courtesy Letworth, I have seen the beautiful countryside of the UK. Totally disconnected from everything, being all alone in all together different world is something I am quite relishing:):). I feel like my mum, my lovely mum, when I am travelling back on the tube. I am thinking about what to have/buy for dinner. Another pastime is searching for Indian restaurants. Yesterday, found one and honestly, have never been so happy to see vegetable biryani:). Well, I have also realised that I have buckets of stamina. I walk, I don't know how many miles, with my laptop, everyday; and at the end of the day, I am not tired.
and I am eating all kinds of junk these days and I don't know if the scales in my room are right, if yes, then, I have gained weight.....I am not me!. I told this to my sis, she refuted my claim of having gained 5 kg.....her very obvious retort was... this is not possible, atleast not for you:(

Pardon me, if this looks like I am on a self praising spree:) I am just innocently pleased. See, I am usually a very modest person:)
