Soaked in London

It started raining in the morning and didn't let up the whole day. How depressing. It got even worse for me when, wanting to change my address, went to the bank but managed to forget my passport, meaning I wasted an hour of my life going back to get it. And I got charged an extra 1 pound 20 because I started my first bus journey before 9.30 and so didn't come under the cap. Things got less wet (but more cold) around lunchtime where I had an amazing lunch at the John Lewis cafe. It went back downhill when, after traversing nearly half of Oxford Street to find a Waterstone's so I could use my gift card only to find out their server was down and so the card couldn't be used. (On an unrelated note, why are there 2 Boots within 150m of each other near Bond Street station? It makes no sense!) And the rain started back again. Oh well. At least the train home wasn't overly crowded. So all in all, not a very good day to be going out then.
