The Missing Screw - revisited

Hooray, I finally managed to fix my skates. I know, took some time, but after the last screw disappointment I was kind of unmotivated...
I looked up a hardware store on the web and was thinking if I should give them a call before going there, but then I thought, "Are you selling screws?" is a stupid question, it's a hardware store. When I arrived there, the shop was shut down. Of course! Next time I'll call. Luckily, next door there was a similar shop, but they didn't sell screw. However, the guy behind the counter was very helpful and drew a map for me to get to a bike store called "bike fix". And I had luck, they had the missing screw. Yeah!! Spent 20 min in the shop to fix it (was a bit tricky) and they girl provided me all the tools. Very nice, although she thought I was Dutch ;-)

On my way back, I passed the Post Office near Russel Square station. That made me realise that I (or men in general) never pay attention to their environment. I was looking for a Post Office this morning and ended up near Oxford Street. The one in Russel Square I passed for about 5 month nearly every morning when I arrived with the tube and it's much much closer!! Damn.

Unfortunately Londonskate was cancelled today due to the rain. As we were already in Hyde Park we decided to skate a bit. Nice skate-stroll through the park including getting lost near Kensington. We skated through Kensington Palace Gardens. Nice street, many really posh and expensive houses there.
