London time (January 10th - 14th)

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008

Right so I spent last weekend the weekend before last in London with the lovely Bob. I say weekend, it was more of a longgg weekend. I went down on Thursday night, straight after work, and came back Monday daytime. So really, that’s 5 days I got to see him for! :D

I’m not going to blog out each day as before because it is: a) rather tiresome; and b) not that interesting. Instead I’ll do an overview of what we managed to get up to. Nice and succinct.

Here I am sitting on a stone thing in a pond outside the Barbican.

Weekend in London - Day 4

Monday, December 31st, 2007

Final day!

Hmm will probably be a short entry, cos it was a short day. Bob was working today (I booked it off, obviously, mmm my first non-working day since I started (except obviously weekends)), and my train was a daytime one, 11.10, so we got up nice and early, and set off for the tube. Was about half 8 or so, therefore morning rush hour and therefore packed tubes. Hehe was kind of fun. I’m such a tourist :(

Weekend in London - Day 3

And Day 3 :)

After the last 2 days of rushing around and keeping busy and all, it was nice to spend today relaxing and unwinding. We were meeting up with Bob’s friends Jason and Rachel today for some yum yum dim sum in town in the afternoon, which would be cool no doubt. I craved this food.

We had a lazy morning. Neither of us felt like getting up early, and I kept doing the whole microsleeps thing, you wake up for a minute or so, then go back to sleep again immediately, and again, and again. Eventually we crawled out of bed a little after 12pm, mainly cos we realised we were due to be meeting Jason and Rachel at 1pm haha. Rush. But luckily y’know, we’re not the kind of people who spend aaages getting ready. Well, not too long anyhow.

As it happens we were slightly late, but we were still there first. We met them at East Putney station and it was chucking it down (again). We didn’t linger and went straight to the restaurant, the Royal China. I guess it’s a good sign when a restaurant has a slight queue of people inside waiting for tables. Fortunately it wasn’t so long that it extended outside in the cold and rain, and despite the slight queue, we didn’t have to wait long at all for a table either. We got a nice round one with a parachuting Santa above it :)
