Be forewarned, this will probably be the least interesting Journal Entry in the history of Journal Entries…

Sunday, February 4 – Harrow on the Hill

After a busy Saturday, I remained on the Hill today, mainly working on a Journal Entry.

How about a little London Underground trivia?

The shortest distance between two adjacent stations on the underground network is only 260 meters. The tube journey between Leicester Square and Covent Garden on the Piccadilly Line takes about 20 seconds, yet it is one of the most popular journeys with tourists.

Georgina asked me about the weather on the trip so far. I feel pretty lucky, as it’s been very dry. That’s the key to me. I’d rather it be cold and dry versus warm and wet. I think I’ve had one rainy day so far. The temperatures have been in the 40s and 50s.

The Crown Auction Update: With a little over three days to go in the auction, bidding on the lot of NASA items I’m interested in currently sits at £200. I’m out.

Monday, February 5 – Harrow on the Hill

I’m posting this rather lame JE today because I’m heading to Sofia, Bulgaria tomorrow and don’t plan on taking my laptop with me. I’ll be back late Friday, so the next posting will be on the weekend. Huge disappointment, I know! Anticipation is a good thing! The beauty of basing myself in one spot is that I don’t have to take everything with me when I go from place to place. For this trip, only a backpack will suffice (you know I like to travel light!).

I feel like I owe you a photo. I decided to look back and see where I was five years ago today, during my first winter escape.

Travel Note: London is pretty much cashless (if you want it to be). I love it! (Chuck would hate it!) The only cash I’ve spent so far is the tip I gave Ash on the Hard Rock tour. I went out today to pick up a small, travel-friendly tube of toothpaste. It cost £1. I put it on my card…

Have a good week. I’ll be back in touch on the weekend.
