Catch up

So ive been killer busy at the moment what with the temp job and happily spending quality time with the boyfriend. so need to do a bit of catch up of what i've been up to and then email everyone so I dont get killed for my lack of communication from my side.

So the week after Cornwall was pretty much spend enjoying sleep time and going to a job interview, arbing around the Tate Modern, spending time with Meyrick as he passed through London (was a really great relaxing afternoon - thanks meyrick!) and then getting the temp job. Went in on the friday and had to CAD up a plan and try and figure out how to use AutoCAD 2007 (using the new palette tools took some time to learn but are a really great new feature which in the long run makes life much easier) It turns out that it was a test and that i passed and could work for them. Turned out that they were also still learning 2007 and were battling with the same things that I was and I figured them out and therefore impressed them.

Friday night was Callums pub night drink with the work mates (generally a usual thing) and i was invited down to meet the work colleges. Was a very cool night and had Callum and I making our way back home at kick out time just a touch (read pretty) tispy. Was very cool to meet all the people that Callum talks about and some more. He works in a pretty big company and since he is the IT support know most of them. And we mangaged to avoid too many drilling re our relationship.

Sat had Callum proudly off to to the arsenal staduim to join his colleges in the box seats. The company project managed the new stadium and therefore the company has so many box seat tickets to use. He had a fantastic time as it was a very important grudge match against Bolton. He def came home nice and stuff after being fed with that most amazing array of food as a buffet including a mass of deserts that he had to have some of everything. Damn he can eat a shitload and I have no idea where it all goes.

While he was off doing that - I went and met up with Jenna, Kathryn and Jenny at marble arch. They then took me off shopping to Primark on Oxford st. It is kinda a low cost fashion and homestuff store. I'm all good with shopping but having to queue to get into the shop it is so busy and then fight your way around while clutching baskets trying to browse and then having to stand in a queue to try things on for 1/2 an hour and then queueing for another 1/2 hour to pay for it just doesnt do it for me. ANyways... WE then got some picnic food and then missioned off to sit in Hyde Park in the beautiful warm afternoon sun.

At this point I just have to say that i've had such great weather over here - it has been sunny blue skies most days and if it grey in the morning then the sun does come out at some stage in the day. Have actually mostly been way too hot here. What with all the walking and the hotness that is the tube system.

So then after the shopping and sunning I met back up with Callum and we missioned off to west london to go visit Garrick at the pub he is working at ...both of us were pretty tired and landed up holding onto the bar, drinking and watching the cricket. And then off we missioned back home.

The next day Callum and I after a late start - hmm the mornings seem to run away so easily - we made our way down to Camden to stroll around the markets and shops and food stalls etc. It was such a great after noon ending with us camped out in the back outside area of the Camden lock traven with the newspapers drinking the afternoon way and sharing a roast lamb and yorkshire pudding and raost vegs which was fantastic. By this time I was truely drunk - dont ask me how ...and slowly we made our way home via the bus - def a new experience.

The following week was pretty uneventful with me working and all. Evening comprised of cooking dinner, laundry and feeding my addiction of the series Heroes !!! It is completely addictive and have to get Callum to stop me from watching them endlessly !

Last Sat had my amazing boyfriend getting up and going food shopping and came home and cooked us a full fry up of a breakfast with eggs, bacon, toast, tomatoes and mushrooms. We then went to investigate the organic market up the road by our tube. which actually turned out it sucked and we instead fed our addiction for books at the book stall and buying a few books :)

We then landed up missioning off to the big grocery store for picnic things but landed up doing a major shop and having to carry the heavy parcels back home - with the boyfriend taking them all on for the last stretch. We then were too tired to go picnic as was the plan and instead went to Leicester Square to catch a movie and Hagen Das. Our first date movie :)

On sunday we then made our mission of picnicing on hampstead heath a reality after yet again another late start. So off we mission up the hill into hampstead village and onto the heath at the top corner. Then walk around a bit heading toward the bottom ...and finally settling on a spot on a hill over looking a pond complete with radio controlled yachts and ducks and geese. Its was such a nice realxing afternoon...but there was one problem ...we landed up bring only the wine and no food. So yet again we made out way home on a sunday afternoon a bit tipsy.

And here we are again at the relative beginning of the week - working, cooking and watching heroes and now updating the blog. Am killer killer busy at work - working tonight until 7pm but i'm not complaining as i'm getting paid per hour :)

So def need to head off the dreamland so that is it for now.
Hope everyone is well and loving life :)
