Slept in until 11am this morning, and then finally got ready. Allyson, Cameron, and I went to Portobello Market! Oh my goodness! This is one of the most fantastical places I have ever been to. Portobello Road is closed and millions of street vendors line the street. I had no idea it would be so massive. So many trinkets, antiques, foods, etc. It was amazing. It seemed like it would never end! Cam got pretty tired of waiting for Allyson and me, so he bailed early. I love Portobello Market! I bought myself a £5 watch, £5 earrings (2 pairs), £2 voodoo pirate doll keychain like the one I got in NYC but never made it home, and some other goodies! The food was mouthwatering! Allyson bought a massive crepe filled with nutella and strawberries. I bought lunch from a stall that had these massive woks out and they were cooking different kinds of seafood. For £4 I got a huge tub of differently prepared prawns and crab claws. So freaking good! I couldn’t finish it! Saving it for lunch tomorrow. Afterwards, we went to Tesco and bought some Digestives. I have fallen in love with Digestives (chocolate covered biscuits)! Allyson and I returned home frozen and completely exhausted, but very satisfied. We then realized we needed to go back to Primark to see if they found her watch that she lost yesterday. That was a mistake. I bought a £1 pair of sunglasses and two pairs of thick socks for £2. All very necessary purchases… of course. As we were leaving the store we saw Superdrug… so we had to run in there… of course. Well needless to say… I spent more poundage. I bought some hair gel and Tommy Girl perfume on sale for only £10! Totally worth it… of course! Now I am completely exhausted… but I still have to read 200+ pages of Oliver Twist… groan! I love sparknotes!
