A Few Days On

Four nights of sleeping through the sirens, shouts, and street lamps of Oxford Street and all engines are running strong.

Highlights so far:

A view from the Fourth floor of the Parliamentary office looking out over Westminister Palace and the constant flow of tourists that pass by down below.

Passing through the belly of the beast—walking through the corridors of the House of Commons directly underneath Big Ben and slipping in to watch sessions in the chamber.

Sharing lunch tables with MPs and Lords...and watching some of them drop their trays in the cafeteria.

Realizing that I've already got a routine (it's incredibly comforting in a big city): two trains to work, the same security process, the commute home, the trip to the grocery store, and back home. Rinse and repeat. This is home for now.
