The other day I found out that St John's Wood is the only station on the London underground that has none of the letters that spell 'mackerel'.

Despite the heatwave, I went on the London Underground on Wednesday. The heat wasn't too bad, just the crowdedness. How do you avoid crowds on the tube?! My sister managed to get on a train with no one else on the carriage. On a Saturday. When other tube lines were shut, which should make the rest busier! And she's not a nervous person! Life is unfair.

Anyway, I went to the Huntarian Museum, where one can see many weird things in jars. It's apparently featured in a book called Stuffed Animals and Pickled Heads or something like that. I didn't see any pickled heads, specifically, but that's the kind of thing they've got there. They've got many interesting bones, as well, which I love to draw. They have skeletons of extinct birds, the massively enlarged skull of a 19th century man with severe hydrocephalus, and the skeleton of a man who was 231cm tall (seven foot seven).

The heatwave appears to be frying my speech centres, causing me to go up to the information desk in the museum and say things like "Sacoomee, iiizwharapa ssscard?". I did manage to communiate with them eventually, but I felt like a bit of twit. I keep losing words, and sentences. They evaporate, I've decided.

Does anyone know what there is to do in London between 5 and 7pm? Or how to find out? Because I got sort of stuck: the museum closes at 5pm, so that's when I left. The tube at 5pm is sorta terrifying, so I had to stay up London. So if anyone has any suggestions, please tell me
