Its Tuesday afternoon, and for once at work I have nothing to do - so am sitting here bored out of my mind waiting on people to get back to me. Of course in my boredom and get to bore you by writing more about life at the moment (basically what I got up to this last weekend)
The last weekend was started by having drink down the pub (larney pub called smithfields pub and restaurant) with co workers where the one's husband has a regular gig providing back ground music to the office Friday night drinks. They really do love their drinking ! I was taking it very gently this Friday since Thursday was a horrible hung over work day !
Callum then joined me there and we made our plans to head off to movies...and when going to movies in the city you basically just head for Leicester square area and there are about 10 movies theaters to choose from. The movie choice for the night was the painted veil which was not your typical romance even though it was essentially a romance non the less. Edward Norton as always was an amazing actor and played his part brilliantly and will be making loads of money off it too since he and Noami watts were the executive producers as well. Def how to make big bucks in the movie industry.
We rounded off the evening with a slice of pizza as well watched the revellers of the night wondering around. mostly people leaving the pubs, others arriving all dressed up for the clubs, tourists wondering around lost etc. Then off home for both of us to catch up on much needed sleep.
The need for sleep caused us to only wake up at 12pm on Sat !!!! eeekk... oh well it was needed. Our plan for the day had been to go through to the V&A - but a friend of a friend of Callums was having an engagement party and we were invited. Plus we would be seeing Callums friend is only going to be in London for two weeks or so. But here is the snag - it started at 12:30 and since we are not really the people to hurry unless absolutely necessary we were a hour or so late. Weekend mornings are time for pottering around the flat, messing around on the internet (me in the bedroom and Callum in the kitchen), lots of cups of tea, and commands of each other to go get unstinky first.
The engagement party was at a pub (of course) called the Edinburgh castle. Were we basically sat and chatted with friends and met new people and drank and ate all afternoon and evening ...left at about 10pm, that was 9 hours in the pub - wow i think that is a record for me. Had an entire camebert cheese baked in its box with toasted ciabatta. Was so devine !!! After 9 hours in the pub it was def bed time where we got talking again to the wee hours of the morning. Damn can Callum and I talk each others ears off ! and it is even worse when we've been drinking. We can talk about anything and everything for ages - the most random thoughts get spoken about and at the end it is one of those conversations that you cant even remember what any of it was really about. LOL
Sunday was a lovely domestic day with Callum and I going a doing a HUGE grocery shop and then having to lug it all home. Damn that was sore! Then I made tomatoe and basil soup and custard cookies while doing domestic chores as well. Then there was an evening drink down the local (St Johns) with friends. and that was the weekend !
Now am off to meet up with more friends here for a few weeks for some more drinks :)
