First and foremost - for those of you wondering where I ended up going on a trip to.... nowhere!!! I actually ended up spending almost every day in London for the half-term. We all know about the passport fiasco, so I won't re-tell that.
I returned to the city on the Wednesday with Joss for some spring clothes shopping, then went back again Thursday for a nice walk down the South Bank. Then a 3 hour stint in Starbucks in Leicester Square lesson planning (amid lots of smokers and kids chasing pigeons) and on to All Bar One for lots of drinks with my eastern friends!! Me being the lazy, lazy girl that I am, then decided not to go home on the train and crashed in the city yet again. I really like London.
Then Saturday, I had plans to go to Brighton, but instead I hung out in the backyard gardening in the jungle. It was a beautiful day. Just gorgeous. Craig came up and chilled while I played in the yard, and then I found some gardeners!! Seriously, this place was wild. Blackberry all over the place and totally overgrown bushes. Not to mention the 2 foot long grass that was growing on old dead grass. Yuck. The gardeners (the guys who live next door) cleaned it all up so now our yard looks like there has been a fire that wiped everything out. But it'll grow back and I can tame it.
I'm getting distracted. My break. Right. So Saturday night a bunch of the Luton Canadians came over and we all sat in the yard drinking (too much) beer and wine. I had put out candles all over the place, and we had blankets... plus 3 guys playing guitar and singing - can't get much better than that!!! ![]()
So all in all, my week was great. I had a blast, a bit of an adventure, and am very happy. Too bad today sucked ass. But, c'est la vie, no?
Big plans for the rest of the year... I'll keep you all posted. For those of you who actually read this.
