Went for a wander at lunchtime yesterday and came across the Lloyds building, which is utterly fab! It's got pipes and glass and metal and glass walled lifts which go up and down the outside. I want to have a play in the lifts! Actually, as you walk along Philpot lane (where my office is) you can just see it protruding over Leadenhall Market and the old buildings across the road which makes a fabulous contrast especially at dusk when they light bits of the Lloyds building up. It's very cool basically.

I am once again thinking seriously about a car. It would be very cool (I know - I'm an evil polluting capitalist) and I could (I think) use it to drive to work part of the way (stopping at Hillingdon and getting the Met line the rest of the way) which would allow me to sleep in a bit more but I'm still not sure. I think I'll have to sit down and do some serious budgeting, see exactly what I can afford and stuff...

OK, that would be even cooler! I was just going to gawp at the view :)

Sad to say, I'm pretty lazy at lunchtimes so I don't get out and explore much - I'm trying to do it more so that I get fitter. When I was at Wood St, I don't think I came down here at all. It's actually quite a pretty area here - more so than Wood St which is what has encouraged me out. Any other easy walks you recommend?

If I were based at Fenchurch St I'd wander down to the Tower, I mostly head west when I'm going for a walk, up Fleet Street or Holborn, bit far for you.

You could go up the Monument if you're feeling fit?
