One way to the UK?

Well… Thursday and Friday Mara and I did pretty much the same thing –> shopping on Oxford Street (for shoes of course) and had Sushi for lunch yummm! There are some great little places around but it just takes a while to find exactly where they are and we keep forgetting which tube station they’re near! Mind you, on Friday we dropped by Canary Wharf so I know where to go on Monday morning, and there was a sushi place there too which is great!

Neither of us ended up buying any shoes… i know – what the? But Mara couldn’t find a pair of black work shoes that was ‘just perfect’ for both of us and I only liked one pair of casual shoes, which were sketchers and the first shop had the style/colour but not my size, and then the actual sketchers shop didn’t stock them! ?? I’m doing an online shopping search for them now :o)

Friday night ‘the house’ (13 or 14 of us living in 10a Grove Road at the moment) all started with a few drinks at home, and some card games, and then all quite smashed-ly made our way to the tube station and over to Clapham Common to a nightclub called Inferno…. it’s an okay place to visit maybe just once in your time here, and it’s definitely dodgy when you sober up and so much worse if you ever see it in daylight as I did this morning! Clapham is pretty much the other side of town to Mile End, and once Mara and I were ready to go home at about 4am-ish the tubes had obviously stopped, so we caught a bus to somewhere in the city, and were going to find another bus to get home… but got a Taxi instead! By the time we got home the sun was about to rise, and then all the other flatmates got home too and I know some of them continued drinking! Was still a good night out, but rest night last night! I went out with Ali (alistair) a new brit friend of mine and his mates, watched them play football (…soccer) then we headed to a pub for drinks (i was on detox) and then we all went out for dinner at a italian place which was nice… then we headed to a club in Balham which wasn’t TOO bad, it’s just that I hate having to pay cover charges for everything over here! If there was a decent band or DJ then you probably wouldn’t mind paying, but hrmmm yeah. Just something to get used to I guess!

Weather’s nice at the moment — hopefully it will stay good! Need to go check out the gym tonight or this week after work.
