5th day: such a British thing.

1. Sunday roast.
The Sunday roast is a traditional British main meal served on Sundays (usually in the early afternoon for lunch), consisting of roasted meat (often replaced with chicken), roast potato and Yorkshire puddings together with accompaniments, such as vegetables and gravy. (according to the know all Wiki)

I had roast pork and it came with crackling (crispy pork skin) and ale. Score 10 out of 10 on food coma chart. But I can now understand why my thighs start wobbling.

2. Sun sucking activity
Today is yet another unbelievable sunny day for UK. It is almost like what the Jews had seen when Moses led them across the Red Sea. Instead of seeing the naked sea bed, I saw (almost) naked Brits. Where there is grass, there are white British flesh roasting. Another Sunday roast.

3. Lining up to see the Line
Greenwich Royal Observatory, the home of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and the Prime Meridian of the world (according to the white folks), was packed. Line up to see the line. Never a line receives this much attention.

4. Run, zombie is not your mate!
In the sequel of 28 Days Later, there is a running away scene shot in this tunnel that links south Greenwich bank to the north. Its green dome is almost wickedly sweet. But chilliness and melon yellowness of the tunnel throughout the year makes image of the gruesome zombies a bit lonely.
