So I have a day off work tomorrow and a day in London planned with a trip to the cinema at the end !!
I'm pretty excited as I don't get to have a "me" day very often but despite knowing I have "A day in London" I actually have very little idea what to do !!
I'll be mostly around the Southbank (my fave area and since I'm going to the BFI Imax later it seems appropriate)
I plan to visit London Fossils and Crystals down from Waterloo. (cos I collect fossils and minerals!) but other than that I have several hours to kill.
I don't even know where to eat :D hehe
I don't want to just default to a cr*ppy high street burger from the usual "Kentucky McKings" etc ;) but I also don't want a full blown restaurant meal.
Was thinking Giraffe or Wahaca for lunch.
But I imagine overwhelm will be an issue so I'll need some space where I can sit, relax and watch the world go past.
perhaps even I'll fit in a little retail therapy from the Bookshops and BFI store when I'm there.
However if anyone has ideas? let me know.

When I'm I'll i tend to fall back on my childhood comforts. Comfort food, Comfort clothing and Comfort viewing.
Scrambled egg on toast, my big voluminous hooded dressing gown and my fluffy socks and The Dark Crystal on TV XD

"I have a little computer,
I think I'm going to keep it,
Because it takes prompts I type
And though it feeds me tripe
At least it generates something I can pass off as my own and I know it doesn't scan or follow the usual limerick layout but it says my input was the bestest idea ever and really strokes my ego and makes me feel productive even though my silly little prompt probably cost more energy than an average house would do in day, at least I didn't have to think about what to write!!"

Am watching a documentary on Prime called "Woodlands dark and days bewitched" which is about folk horror (Witchfinder General, Wicker man, Psychomania et al) and I noticed a talking head on the commentary wearing a rather familiar t-shirt ;)
A little promotion for @Richard_Littler and @scarfolk ;)
They're now talking about "The Stone Tape". That scared the bejeezus out of me as a kid!!

@dwm@mastodon.social @losttourist@social.chatty.monster @cstross@wandering.shop @tek@freeradical.zone the same humans that breathe an atmosphere that contains rocket fuel, chemically burn food within their bodies for energy (not to mention breaking it down first with strong corrosive acids) and regularly consume known poisonous substances for fun.. no wonder aliens avoid us.
50% of the population being able to process Marmite is just the nail in the coffin IMHO!

@losttourist@social.chatty.monster @cstross@wandering.shop @tek@freeradical.zone I've been warning people for years. I have a theory. The fact that we've never been able to detect any extraterrestrial life out there is down to the theoretical "Great Filter" but I suspect rather than filtering out war-like species or species with a particular level of technology.. I propose that some technologically advanced species is destroying systems where the inhabitants have discovered Marmite or Marmite like substances.
Just like every species has its own variation of Gin and Tonics (jynnan tonnyx, gee-N'N-T'N-ix, or jinond-o-nicks) I calculate that at some point in a species development they become self destructive and invent a Marmite analogue and this is seen as an affront to the universe and must be erased.
Nature may abhor a vacuum but the universe really hates Marmite.
