A funny story to tie you over until the next real blog:

I was on my way to see Mama Mia! at Leister square and it had been a long day. There is a widely known rule here about escalator etiquitte. If you're going to stand and ride the escalator, you stand on the right side so the people who prefer to walk up can pass on the left. Although I was exhausted, I opted to walk up the escalator at Leister Square Station. Have you ever tripped up the stairs before? Of course, we all have. You know how sometimes it takes two or three extra trips to recover from the first one? Well, that's what happened. I tripped up one of the steps and as I was tripping to try to get back up, some guy standing behind me was obviously feeling my pain. "Ooh Whoah!" he exclaimed. Then when I continued walking up the steps he yelled, "Nice recovery!". I was too embarassed to turn back and thank him for the compliment.
