Diaries of a Dancing Queen

When on a grand adventure, I find that it’s best to throw yourself into everything you do. Today I settled at a cute cafe near Piccadilly Circus where I got a table for one outside. Now two things about that: First, I very rarely sit outside because: #1 bugs #2 wind #3 noise and really, the list just goes on. But hey, when on a solo trip in one of the world’s largest cities. When in doubt say yes. Try the thing! The second thing about that was I got a table for 1 at a sit-down restaurant! The feeling of independence was exhilarating not to mention shortly after I sat down my phone died so it was just me myself and I having a fabulous conversation with myself (in my head because no one needs to get stared at when trying to have a nice peaceful dinner). But really, people watching and peaceful self-reflection was enough for me to recommend having a solitary dinner in a foreign country almost as readily as I would recommend the amazing food I had! I had been terribly indecisive when I was given the menu, (and also had to keep in mind that since I took an even longer time trying to decide where to eat, I only had about forty minutes to order, get the food and walk down the block to the Criterion Theatre). I asked for the soup of the day and the waiter said it was seafood. Side Note: I am not much of a seafood eater and as a kid, I absolutely hated the stuff (this was also partially because of Nemo) but I was also a rather picky child. But there I was sitting in the middle of a crowded London neighborhood eating alone and outside. What the hell right? I got it and it was AMAZING. So to anyone who wants a nice dinner out but has no one to go with, or to anyone else who needs to decompress and have a little me time: do the thing. do it! Say yes before normal you even get the chance to say no! That’s it, for now, lovely people.
