One body

The bible says we are like one body, all involuntarily joined, all living breathing cells each with their own different purpose, some ugly areas, some beautiful but all equally as necessary.

Due to Starbucks slowing Xss and I's life down, we have been enjoying very lazy weekends wandering around London. This weekend we went to Maltby Street market- some might label 'the new borough market' (its not far away from borough and sells overpriced food but that is where the similarities end). It was great to wander through this reclamation yard, buy a coffee and croissant and sit on the old mismatched pews and tables enjoying the intermittent sun (well intermittent not rain). Starbucks is so laid back its almost like she isn't even with us, although occasionally she will wake up and smile at us, adding a little more joy to the day.

I love exploring London, especially near London Bridge, and i realised why. The area is 'up and coming' and developing, changing daily, and we are part of it. Living in London is a bit like being part of a body, ever evolving and growing. You can see it change before your eyes, and its crazy when you look at how some areas (again Bermondsey/London Bridge in particular) have changed over just 5 years, the people, the buildings, the feel. And we are all part of this, and it feels good.

Tomorrow Auntie Wendy comes- look like a startled hare in the lights- it feels like my debutant into adulthood. Have cleaned the house and the baby doggedly so hope i score high. I am still a kid, but desperate to prove myself as a woman who can keep house, not just play it. Will keep you posted on how it went.

Also Starbucks has learnt to laugh. It was probably the best moment of my life. Honestly. Amazing and unbelievable.
