My vision of London: Pulsing old city. High Ceilings. Dozing. Slumbering. Smoking. Drinking coffee. Cluttered lunch embracing the empty wine bottles on the rug. Fish bones. Thin china salad bowl drowning dying lettuce. Heavy ashtrays dealing with the afternoon shadows. Poles working as building painters spying on us when we shower through a hole in the wall. Afternoon indoors time listening to music. Four or five people around me lying on the floor. Gentle murmurs. Seeing the beautiful grey sky from the window. Bedrock bass booming. Pulse secure. Reggae chords nesting on hip hop beats. Londres sepultada bajo una capa de alquitrán.
Multiculti grasp of the sweetest kind.

    Really nice way to start my Sunday. And end it, too.
