"Yo t Hos l"

Living in London is a little boring.

It wouldn't be, tho (I think), if I wasn't stuck in a deserted hostel at the far end of Hyde Park with no common room, no money and hurty feet. I might drag myself to the pub around the corner later, even though it is full of very posh people, who are probably staying at the Hilton Hotel next door. They will look down on me and go: "You must be staying at the "Yo t Hos l" (cause that is what it says above the door of my hostel, innit) next to our hotel with your ripped Jeans and your worn out shoes. Get out of our Posh Pub!" And I will look up at them with big sad eyes like little Oliver when he came to London first (I imagine... never seen the musical) and they will feel sorry, cause my face is so dirty and maybe someone will adopt me!
Or maybe I'll just go to bed.

The hostel I am staying in is fine. It's clean, just very old, but also very, very cheap. I am sharing a room with three other people, who I haven't met yet, but I think they are girls and about 12 years old, according to the stuff they have lying around here.

Apart from the boringness of this evening my life as a Londoner (how lovely and weird does that sound?) is very exciting!
I have applied as a Full Time Volunteer with an oranisation named SHAD, who work with physically disabled people. I think the chances that they'll take me are quite good, given they believe the lies I told them about how I never have problems with my back at all.
I would LOVE to volunteer again, for a while! Afterall my time in Ireland still was one of the best in my life and I wouldn't mind similar experiences.
So yeah, fingers crossed!

Also I have done my first Official Food Shop as a non-tourist in London. I bought houmous and biscuits and ham and bread. So I can have houmous ham pockets or a ginger snap sandwich!
I also bought a towel at Primark on Oxford Street. Which is the first place on my list of "Places to avoid in London".

Tomorrow I will volunteer more for Stonewall. They have their office on the 14th floor of a building right next to Waterloo Station. You have the most amazing view over London from up there. And it is full of really nice people. I will tell you more about it later, maybe.

Now I will go and either get lost in Hyde Park or drunk in a pub. Cause that's what Londoners do, I think!
