🇬🇧 London’s Fickle Weather & A Perfect Pasta Afternoon 🌦️☀️

🌧️→🌞 When London’s Sky Pulls a Plot Twist The morning drizzle had me convinced it was another "curl up with tea" day—until 3PM sunshine slapped my skepticism away. I ditched my umbrella like a bad date and raced outside, where: Puddles turned into golden mirrors reflecting Big Ben The Thames suddenly looked Caribbean-blue (lies, but let me dream) Even the pigeons seemed to strut with extra sass "This city’s weather is gaslighting us… but I’ll take it." 🛍️ Detour at Dover Street Market Admired £2,000 Balenciaga bags shaped like trash bags (art? satire? performance art?) Sniffed Le Labo’s "Another Rainy Day" candle (irony noted) Bought zero things but harvested rich people vibes for free 📸 KCL Bush House Debut Finally posed at my university’s iconic neoclassical facade—only 8 months late. Pro tips: Golden hour turns the columns honey-gold The right archway frames the Strand perfectly Watch for rogue skateboarders in your shot "When your campus looks like the Ministry of Magic… attendance feels optional." 🍝 Fadiga: Soho’s Unsung Hero 📍 12 Greek St, W1D 4DL Ordered the Truffle Tagliatelle (£16) — creamy without the post-pasta regret Vibe: Rustic-chic with Italian nonna energy (loud laughter, checkered tablecloths) Unexpected bonus: Their house red (£6/glass) could rival a £30 bottle "Sorry, Padella—Fadiga’s portion sizes actually respect my appetite." 💡 Lessons from a Chaotic Day ✔️ Always carry sunglasses (London sunshine is a sneaky flirt) ✔️ DSM is a museum where you can touch the exhibits (but shouldn’t) ✔️ Pasta > Life Plans (Priorities sorted) #LondonWhiplash #PastaTherapy #KCLaesthetic
