First Day in Peckham
posted October 16, 2026
Iām typing this from my phone right now.. which is cool because it means I can make these posts from anywhere. No excuses not to make one. Iām laying in bed and itās about 2:00am. My plane got in around 12p and Tom generously came to the airport to greet me. We took the tube/underground to my new apartment in Peckham. After dropping off my stuff I was antsy to get a vegetarian pork roll from Greggs, which I remembered being tasty. At this point Iād last eaten a wild berry skyr during my layover in Iceland. ~ IN ICELAND To get between the main airport building and the planes passengers were taken onto the runway. This was a little startling since I didnāt have my jacket on when getting off the first flight and it was very dark, cold, and windy. I was also in a haze from sorta sleeping on that first 6 hour flight. The layover didnāt last long. I just got the skyr, vaped in the bathroom, then went to my gate. The second flight was only 3 hours which I slept for most of. ~ We went to Greggs and I got a vegan roll which Iām not sure is the same as the vegetarian pork rollā¦ it tasted like chicken which didnāt feel familiarā¦ and I got a cheese potato roll. I did not really enjoy either lol. After this Tom took me to a shop where I got an adapter and a british vape. The vape is āstrawberry burstā which I donāt really like. More importantly though the adapter works. We went back to the apartment and I took a nap. After waking up we went to the food hall down the street and I got 2 halloumi wraps (buy one get one free) for about Ā£13-14. I planned to save one for tomorrow but I ate both tonight. I feel it right now in bed while typing. After getting the wraps we went to the local grocery store across the street and I got ingredients for a yogurt parfait, avocado toast, halloumi wraps (iām going to get sick of these), and air fried tofu. I wanted to get more but I need to be really strategic with money so I paused with these. Went back to the apartment after this and put everything away. Chatted w Tom. Texted some people back. Then went to bed. I woke up which is why Iām making this now. Iām going to be jet-lagged for like a week I think. Iām trying to decide if I want a system for these posts and how detailed itās worth getting. What will matter about today to my future self? What would my kids be amused reading? I did manage to fit everything into just one suitcase for this move :ā¢).
