So depending on the day, I can never decide whether I’ve packed the right variety/amount of clothes. This past week, London was experiencing a heat wave. It was kind of funny actually, because Londoners are always hoping to have a nice sunny day to get a break from the rain, but when they had a whole week straight, they didn’t like that either. I must say, even though I’m used to hot summers at home, getting on the tube in 90 degree weather is one of the worst experiences. The tube is always hot anyway, but when there’s a heat wave, it’s almost unbearable. Meanwhile, I was struggling to find outfits that would keep me cool all day (There’s no AC at 3Fish.. or anywhere really)
This weekend though, I got a chance to walk around Portobello Market and was excited to buy a new dress which would be perfect in the heat. Ha, the weather was one step ahead. Now the heat wave is gone and there is instead rain, rain, and more rain. Today, for example, we were supposed to get 4 cm. Looks like I might have to save that dress for when I get home
On a side note, I went to visit a museum about brands, advertising, and packaging with Ricky and his wife, Claire, on Saturday. It was small museum, set back from the road in this little alley. You would never have known it was there if not for a small sign. Anyway, it was interesting to see how the brands/packaging of everyday items have evolved through the decades.
