Mellow Sunday

It took some time to get motivated the next morning. I couldn’t tell you why, but I rolled out of bed at 10am. Luckily, it was a gorgeous day outside (It didn’t stay that way all afternoon, unfortunately). The only to do on my agenda for the day was to meet up with my cousin, Belinda. Even though the weather was awesome, I really struggled to fully wake up and remove myself from the comfort of Terry’s couch. I eventually was able to make my way to Belinda’s. It took me far longer to cross town due to construction delays on the tube and getting los… err, I mean exploring near Clapham Junction. I tried to stay as long as I could to have a quality chat for our first meeting. Belinda is a rockstar. Unfortunately, I made plans with Terry for dinner, so I couldn’t stay too long and really get to know one another. I can see why my brother speaks so highly of her though.

Jeremy and Terry

I arrived back at Terry’s flat and put together a stir fry for dinner. If I may, it was quite tasty. We enjoyed the meal and beers with some good conversation and Jeremy, Terry’s flatmate, was even around. Afterwards, the three of us headed out to have some beers and shoot some English billiards at The Blind Beggar (Look it up for historic value). Yea, don’t play Terry if you ever meet him, he’ll hustle you and you’ll somehow feel good about it. It was a great laidback final night in London. And oddly, the first time I tasted proper English ale, quite yummy! In the morning, I get to try my luck at hitching again. Only this time failure is not an option as I’m committing myself to thumbing my way all the way to Edinburgh, Scotland.
