Yo, lemme tell ya about my day in Forest Hill. Man, it was a wild ride, like a rollercoaster but with more coffee and less safety. So, I woke up late, as usual. Alarm? What alarm? I jumped outta bed, threw on some clothes, and dashed outta my flat on Dartmouth Road.
First stop? The coffee shop on Honor Oak Road. I needed my caffeine fix, like, yesterday. I ordered a flat white, but the barista was all, “Sorry, mate, we’re outta oat milk.” I was like, “What kinda coffee shop runs outta oat milk?” I mean, c’mon! So, I settled for almond milk. Not the same, but whatever.
After that, I decided to stroll down to Forest Hill station. The vibe was chill, but then I saw this dude on the corner of the street, right by the Sainsbury’s. He was trying to juggle, but he kept dropping the balls. I couldn’t help but laugh. Like, bro, pick a different hobby!
Then, outta nowhere, it started to rain. Typical British weather, right? I ducked into a pub on Devonshire Road. It was cozy, and I ordered a pint. I mean, it was 11 AM, but who’s counting? I sat there, watching the rain, and thought about life. Deep stuff, ya know?
Suddenly, my phone buzzed. It was my mate, Sam. He was like, “Yo, meet me at the Horniman Museum!” I was like, “Sure, why not?” I finished my pint, braved the rain, and headed over.
The museum was dope. I mean, who doesn’t love a good taxidermy exhibit? I was totally fascinated by the stuffed animals. There was this massive walrus, and I was like, “Dude, you look like you’ve seen some things.” I snapped a pic for the ‘gram.
But then, I got a bit too close to the exhibit, and my phone slipped outta my hand. It fell right onto the floor. I was like, “Noooo!” But it was fine, just a little crack. Phew!
After that, we decided to grab some food. We hit up this little spot on London Road. The burgers were insane! I mean, I could’ve eaten three, but I settled for one. It was juicy, dripping with sauce. I was in heaven.
Then, outta nowhere, Sam gets a call. It’s his ex. Drama alert! He starts pacing, and I’m just sitting there, munching on my fries, trying not to eavesdrop. But c’mon, it’s hard not to!
Finally, he hangs up, looking all stressed. I was like, “Dude, chill. It’s just a phone call.” But he was all worked up. I tried to lighten the mood with a joke, but he wasn’t having it.
So, we left the burger joint and wandered around. We ended up at the top of One Tree Hill. The view was sick! You could see all of London. I felt on top of the world. I mean, who knew Forest Hill had such a killer view?
But then, I got a bit too excited and tripped over a rock. Classic me, right? I fell, but I laughed it off. Sam was cracking up, and I was like, “At least I didn’t drop my burger!”
As the sun started to set, we made our way back down. I felt a mix of emotions—happy, tired, a bit bruised, but mostly grateful. Forest Hill had thrown me a curveball today, but I loved it.
So, yeah, that was my day. Full of ups and downs, laughter, and a bit of drama. Just another day in the life, right? Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!
