So I'm back in Southampton. It's nice to be back. There's something I quite like about it here. I feel like I belong in some strange way. That's not to say that I don't feel in place with my parents or when I'm visiting friends, but I feel good when I'm in Southampton.

On my way down to Southampton, I stopped for the afternoon and evening in London. Andrew, Little Richard, Arleen and I met up at Picadilly Circus then walked up to Hamleys. I love that shop so much. There are always loads of toys on display to play with. I particularly liked the HUGE Scalextric track.

After that, we went up to Camden Town, alternative capital of the country, I'd guess. I really like so much of the stuff available both on the market and in the locks. I introduced the other three to Cyber Dog and their wonderful world of unsual "cyber" clothes.

Every time I've been into Cyber Dog, I've had my eyes on a tshirt which has a scrolling LED text display on the front. This time I bought it. It's such good fun and I shall be wearing it on many a clubbing occasion. I'll get some photos up of it when I'm next out.

Then we went off to the Purple Turtle for a few drinks. The Lego has been removed from the tables, the space hopper has disappeared and the Space Invaders machine switched off. Such a shame. But during happy hour, it's still a great place to stop. Especially that Mornington Cresent is just a minute walk away and the Northern line leads straight to Waterloo. So it was an easy stagger back to Southampton.

This wasn't what I wanted to talk about in this post, so I'll come back later. Anyhow, if anyone's still around, I'm up for films/pubs/whatever. Give us a bell.
