One way to the UK?

Okay so Friday I had work like usual, and then Ash and Mara came down and joined Ali and I for a drink at West India Quay (right next to Canary Wharf) so that was pretty good. Before those drinks, I first had drinks at work with “all” of work to celebrate the mark of only 5 years to go until the Olympics! There was one big cake in the logo shape, and then hundreds of little cupcakes all with the logo on them!!! Oh and free wine etc, etc so that was nice! I tried to steal a picture from the work intranet but it doesn’t let you, so you’ll all have to check out the new London 2012 website instead! http://www.london2012.com/

Oh after work drinks, the weather had changed and I was freezing my tush off, so I headed down to get Ash from the bus stop, and passed by Next (with their last few days of sales on) and bought some nice grey/silver pants with cuffs at the bottom! They’re really nice, and only cost £8.00! bargain! Mara, Ash and I were on the lookout for dinner, and after a while decided to go back near home, to the pub place we’ve seen in Stepney Green (the Tapas place that looks nice ended up being closer to home and a fair walk) but the pub was great! It’s kind of a more upper class pub, but the food wasn’t that expensive whilst still tasting great! We then went to Blockbuster, grabbed a movie and a choccie bar each and headed home.

Saturday we headed into Hyde Park, after a stop by Nottnig Hill where Mara works to get a book in the cheap bookshop (I got The Lost Luggage Porter – detective book) and then we headed into the park (via bus, walk etc) to soak up some suinshine and read. There were so many people with dogs! I miss mine!!!

Sunday, Ash left way early, and Mara and I planned to see some of the Red Bull Airrace, but due to slight misunderstandings etc, etc we didn’t end up seeing any of it! And went for along walk and then home!!!
