I have returned after a long day exploring and exploiting the wonders of Uxbridge. Had to get up at ridiculous o'clock - being 6am - in order to catch a bus at half 8. But by 10, having taken one train and two tubes (that being the London Underground to those unfamiliar with the name), I arrived in fashionable (is it?) Uxbridge. Once I'd addressed the call of nature - a universal problem faced by all on long journeys - I found the shop Jackson was working in (the one he had been relocated to during the Bromley branch refit) and he was obviously surprised to see me. This was lessened only by my ineptitude at springing surprises as I had alluded to such a thing only an hour or so before my arrival. Needless to say, my presence throughout the day was immensely appreciated as I disappeared off to shop from 10.30 til 1.30 but came back now and then.
I found the nearby Pavillions Shopping Centre to be akin to the smaller centre nearby to Westfield Stratford (if anyone has been to either, they will know what I mean) - smaller and less equipped with bigger chain stores.
However I wished so much that I'd stayed out all day because returning home didn't allow the happy feeling to continue - and I fear tomorrow may prove likewise.
For now, goodnight.
