This morning I got up at 8:00 since we were working mainly from Nido. I got ready and head up 1 floor to the 4^th floor commons room to work (the 3^rd floor outlets don’t work). We worked until noon, when we broke for an hour for lunch, then went back to work until 2:50, so we could get ready for an interview. The original time of the interview was 3:30 PM, but was pushed an hour to 4:30 since the person had prior commitments, the late time was a bit obnoxious but since it was an important interview we went with the time change.

We left at 3:20 and caught the Northern line to Morden, near where the interview was. We were told it would be about a 15 minute walk, and after about 10 minutes we were still not near it so checked our maps and decided why we were not close. We apparently missed a turn we needed, but I got us back on track and we ended up being just a few minutes late (not good but it happens when we get a bit lost). After the interview, which went pretty well, we head back to Morden station and took the Tube back to Nido.

Once back at Nido I was planning on texting Erin to ask her what she wanted to do tonight, but she had emailed me, so we talked briefly and I told her I wanted to go (because Bryan said I should) to Hamley’s and Ben’s Cookies. She was up for it so after dinner we met up and head to Oxford Circus. At Ben’s Cookie’s I got 2 cookies, a milk chocolate and double chocolate chunk. Both were absolutely delicious, my favorite was the milk chocolate chunk one. Hamley’s was also really really cool, it was a 5 story toy store (though one floor was under renovation). I liked the top floor because they had legoes, including the lego royal wedding, a lego crown, and a lego queen. They also had a lego telephone box which was pretty cool.

After Hamley’s we walked a bit and eventually got back to Nido around 10. I mapped it out, we ended up walking about 3 miles because from Hamley’s we walked by Trafalger Square, down near Parliament, through part of St. Jame’s Park, and by Buckingham Palace before heading back onto the tube.
