theres a walk in clinic in soho square! and it's free for everyone, even Canadians! I did have to wait over two hours, but that's fine. would've been the same back home. im kind of relieved she didn't prescribe anything since I really didn't want to take antibiotics with the condition of my stomach as it is. in fact, I found it hope giving to know that it will go away on its own, because I was under the impression all the coughing was just making it worse and my throat more and more raw so that it would never go away without some sort of drastic intervention. as it turns out, all I have to do is wait and eventually this hell will mercifully be over. ive never enjoyed being sick so LITTLE!
oh and I have been taking vitamin c! this nice Chinese guy here kept bringing me hot water with vitamin c powder in it and making me drink it. then he left me the package when he left. plus, I drank a large bottle of orange juice yesterday (which gave me horrible acid reflux to add to my throats woes).
I think the district of the ghetto is called 'brent' (dubbed the third most unhappiest borough in London. makes sense.
https://www.kilburntimes.co.uk/news/brent-dubbed-the-third-most-unhappiest-borough-in-london-1-4183508 )? the tube station is Kensal green. I guess it's close to notting hill gate which makes you think it wouldn't be so bad, cause notting hill is so nice (loved the Portobello road, by the way!). but oh my god, yuck! I felt like I was going to be mugged. neil is WAY too pretty to be living in a place like that.
1) I don't know that it's ACTUALLY neils house, but bun bun showed me the website which was real professional looking with his full name on it and below was posted his address (whose address would it be if not his?). I don't know how to tell if it's recent or not. possibly he doesn't live there anymore.
2) of course Im not certain! I don't know all his comings and goings. im not that level of stalker! but I assume if a band he is a part of is on tour he would be also, wouldn't he? I cant really seem to figure out how penguin café works though. like maybe not all the members go on tour.
3) possibly. feel sorry for them if they have to stay there alone! the only way I would stay there is if neil were there!
4) yes, I am coming back to London* ultimately because I will be flying to Canada from London, since it still works out cheaper to fly from Greece to London and then London to Canada then to fly from Athens to Canada (also less layovers). I probably wouldn't bother going into London when I do, but if I have a very important mission like giving neil a book to brighten up his life in the ghetto, then I would probably make a special trip.
ooh, that is a good idea, posting it to him!! why didn't I think of that back in Canada?!?! if I knock on the neighbours door what am I suppose to say? "do you know if neil codling lives there, you know the dreamy guy with the long greasy hair?" they'll think im SUCH a teenybopper!
*sorry, not London. what is it where Gatwick is? east sussex or sumpthin?
