Sunday, January 28 – Harrow on the Hill

I’m back in the city today to check out the Frost Fair! It’s located just off the Thames, near the Tate Modern.
Nice view of The Shard on the way to the fair.
The artisan market at the fair. Many homemade goods and food & drink.
A game of skittles
Carriage rides were offered too! (that’s the Tate Modern in the background)
The horses were popular with the children
This was the highlight. A human-powered elephant! It’s getting ready to go on a short parade.
On its way…
…followed by the Elephant Festival Troupe!

It was a beautiful day, so I did a little bit of walking around. Here are a couple sights from along the way…

St Dunstan-in-the-West
An entrance to the Temple Church
Somerset House (note all of the folks in the distance enjoying what remains of the sunshine!)
Royal Courts of Justice
St. Paul’s – a favorite

Monday, January 29 – Harrow on the Hill

Not a lot to report today. A little trip planning, a grocery run, went for a walk, and general laziness!

The Crown Auction update: With a little over a week to go in the auction, the NASA lot I’m interested in stands at £160. Probably going to be more than I want to spend. Oh well!

Tuesday, January 30 – Harrow on the Hill

Kind of more of the same from Monday. I did some additional travel planning, and now have three short trips planned for February. Where to? You’ll have to wait and see! And I also worked on this journal entry today. Not a total slug!

Steps Update: I’m trying to redeem myself this year after last winter’s disappointing average of 13.2k steps per day. Three weeks in and I’m averaging 15.5k per day, with a high of 25k. I’ll be happy if I can keep up this pace. A long way to go though!
