I got up early and then Krista and I headed to Mag Culture. This is our earliest schedule.
We got there first so Bill bought us coffee. I got an iced tea but I don't think they really do iced tea here cause she essentially made tea and then just put ice in it.
Our first thing was MagCulture and it was super cool. The store is only magazines but only the cool artsy well designed ones. The owner gave a talk about the store and magazines and then after we got to look around. I almost got this one magazine by Far East Movement cause the photos were really nice and the layout was cool and it was all summer and beachy photos and it had little poems and little stories in it and some were in Korean and it was really cute but it was 20 pound and I don't think i'll ever flip throughout so I didn't.
Then we went back to Kings Cross but everyone ate there at the farmers market and I had my sandwich and then bought a brownie. It was reallly good.
Then we walked to the 2019 Degree Show which was the local art college's end of the year show. Bill said it's one of the best art colleges in the world. It was really cool and interesting and alot of the work was very experience based. There was a VR thing and this one where you could type in commands and this guy had a camera on him and was walking around doing the commands live. There wasn't a lot of graphic stuff though.
After I was supposed to go to Tower Bridge with Radish and Salsa but they cancelled on me cause they were tired.
I went anyway. Climbing it went pretty quickly. There's not much to see there and the climb is fast. You just climb up walk across both top things which have clear floors and I did not like and then climb down the other tower. I like climbing city things.

After I walked to St Pauls cause it was still really early in the afternoon but by the time I got there they had closed. They close earlier than the other tourist attractions cause they do mass everyday at 5ish.
After getting there I went over to LeadenHall Market. It was super cute and cool but not my scene. Its a couple streets completely enclosed on top but it mostly has pubs that a lot of young professionals were at on this friday night. There wasn't any cheap eats places and I found a Korean food place but it was sadly closed for the night. I went to a Flying Tiger and bought on of the spice bags.

Then I went around the corner to this place called Pure. It looked cute from the outside but I had a salad that was eh and over priced. I played Wizards Unite.
After I went to the Globe to meet up with Sash and Rachel. They got lost so I was waiting awhile but I didn't mind cause it was nice out and I read. There were some people filming a skateboard trick video near by too so I watched that for a bit. Radish and Salsa came and got dinner at Pizza Express. I sat with Bill outside. Krista came next by herself and she was walking really determinedly and didn't see us and Bill and I scared her.
Then we went to the Globe!!!!! It was soooo cool. It's only 5 pounds to see it and you're just standing in the yard. The stage is super high so you can mostly see everything. Radish, Salsa, and I got drinks cause you can bring them in. I got a cider which was apple flavored and good. Jess "sat" with us too. The show was actually really cool. It was A Comedy of Errors and was cute. It had music in it with little verses and was quite funny. There were about 6 actors and they all had similar outfits of big pants that were sorta overalls and then high socks and docs. Then they'd put on hats and coats to play parts. It was really good. The plot is that a man is being imprisoned and he tells the story of how he and his wife had twin sons that were identical so they named them the same and then they were in a shipwreck and he got separated with one son and the wife got separated with the other and he thinks they are dead. Then his twin grows up and wants to try to find the other twin so he goes to this island. Then this is the main bit of the show where both twins are on this island and havoc ensues as know when can tell them apart and no one can tell apart their servants either because both servants have the same name and are servants so no one can tell them apart and then the twins are identical and have the same name. It was funny. They interacted with the audience a lot too. I cheersed with the one guy.

We stayed the whole time but everyone else left after 15 minutes or during intermission which I think is sad. You're only in the globe theatre once ya know.
After I led us home and then I went and drank some more in flat 2 while they watched Love Island and did homework.
Then I went to bed.
