No more hate crimes; only love crimes. They are so much more beautiful.
I had a breakthrough in thinking today. I was thinking sadly of how my pathological fear of commuting will likely translate into my living in a shiny Canary Wharf apartment for the next decade. And then I had a thought of genius!
My current plan is to have a small place somewhere easily accessible from Canary Wharf, maybe even cycleable. Somewhere like
this looks amazing although I think I'd probably start out in a room in a houseshare. Friendlier and more economic!
And then I want to save up for a weekend place in Brighton. I can go there straight after work on Friday and commute back in on Monday morning. I adore the sea, I really really do, and I am delighted at the thought of combining living in London with seaside splendour. This
place is a holiday let, but oh my god the beauty; Regency terraces and sea views.
Just imagine, being able to walk to the sea whenever you wished!
I could arrange for it to be let in the summer to bring in some extra £££. It would be my first step on the way to having my own hotel (my secret ambition).
Although, to be fair, I think where I will be working is beautiful also:
