Day 5 London

hello dear, how are you? :)

Today is day 5 of London for me, it’s also the last full day I’m staying here, I’ll be heading to Manchester tomorrow.

London has been treating me pretty well so far. I’ve had some nice food and coffee, done some shopping, also watched the Jesus Christ Superstar musical yesterday night. And I feel like the heatwave isn’t as crazy as people say.

For today, I met with Jojo and we hung out for a day. We first met for lunch outside, then we went to a museum called Museum of the Home. We both quite like the museum, it recreates homes at different times and it’s very fun because we got to play the old nintendo mario kart, and the window xp games!

Afterwards, we headed to Jojo’s place in Colindale for dinner. She’s been settling pretty okay, even though her masters’ studies have been super stressful and busy, so she basically just does her schoolwork all day long for the past year. I feel like that’s very her, haha.

We made dinner together and it was a pretty nice time together. These days, I’m learning to connect with my friends (especially the old ones who would remind me of the past) in a way that doesn’t trigger me too extensively. It’s not easy as I still find myself feeling quite mentally exhausted every time after it, but I’m learning to balance it.

I am so grateful that London has been pretty pleasant to me. I’ll actually head back here end of the month for two night because I’ll be flying out from London back to HK. But for now, tomorrow, I’ll be meeting my parents in Manchester and I hope it’ll be a smooth journey and reunion this time :)

Good night 😊
