Monday saw Charity and myself spend most of our time along the Thames. After a brief bit of shopping in Covent Garden, we made our way down to the Thames and Waterloo Bridge. From there we made our way along the Thames to Borough Market via all sorts of places that we encountered - the Globe Theartre, street stalls, fat pidgeons, Gabriel's wharf, Clink Prison, Tate Modern, and other places that I can't recall the name of...Eventually, we ended up in The George (pictured), one of London's many historical pubs, for a pint or two before we tackled the evening Tube traffic to make our way home.

By the way, one of the "brief bits of shopping" was at the London Marathon Shop. In case I've not mentioned it earlier, I've put in my application to run the London Marathon. I had planned to do the Melbourne Marathon, but I'd moved countries before that could have happened. To let you know, the London marathon is a ballot for your entry, so I'll find out in november if I'm going to get a spot. If I don't, then SIA (the Spinal Injury Association) have accepted me to run in one of their allocated slots, although I will need to raise £1,500 for them if I end up using one of their places.
