Lunchtime travelogue...

People often ask me - "Rik, what do you get up to at lunchtime, working right near Tower Bridge as you do?" So I thought I'd put together a little lunchtime travelogue for you all. This blog is so like interactive.

First I put my skates on, then I went to see what is in the Design Museum Tank at the moment. Turns out it was a bunch of weird chairs...

So, I made a mistake in my compelling narrative. They aren't chairs by "Clay Maarten-Baas", rather, they are clay chairs by Maarten Baas. Wildly expensive clay chairs.

After getting my obligatory design-fix, I decided to skate over Tower Bridge...

Which was all very exciting. After skating along the north side of the river for a while (sorry, I couldn't be arsed to film the Tower of London) I crossed back to the south side of the river via London Bridge and grabbed a coffee and a flapjack at Borough Market...

Monmouth Coffee Company does probably the best coffee in London. Look, you can almost smell the beans...

Having sat down and enjoyed my coffee I skated around a bit more, and then finally settled down for  lunch, which today was a lovely, fattening hot salt beef sandwich. Banjeroo and I are going on a cleansing diet starting this weekend, so I thought I should indulge. Plus it was cold and grey and miserable and it  cheered me up...

So that was my lunchtime. Food, exercise AND a travelogue/blog post. How is that for multitasking?

I don't know why, but because we can't see you in any of these things I imagine you skating through London with a giant pair of moose horns on your head.

Yeah, I know.

SO interactive. Whoot! Nicely done, sir, nicely done.

OK, I have to already bail on the cleansing. I WILL cut out coffee, but I'm going to T-dot to see some friends, and I can't cut out booze. Simply no way. Also, I can't promise I'll cut out coffee. But after that, RAH!
