happy womens day apparently!

dire straits were brill yesterday (anything but dire! :-P) sorry bad bad joke! it was only mark knopfler (hope i spelt his name right!) but it was soo good! didnt realise how many songs i actually knew! sanath brought along a little beverage for us before we entered the venue which was cool but i did think we'd never make it! we had one hell of a rikshaw journey! the first driver didnt understand us so we had to direct him then the rik broke down, the next also didnt know where to go, we missed the turning and were then pulled over by the police cos there were 4 people in the rik. he was fined Rs100 and we had to find another 2 riks this time. this guy didnt know where to go either (it wasnt a hard place to find, it was at the palace!) so i directed him and we eventually got there!

my exhibitions coming up and im getting nervous! went to pick up my frames today but the shop wasnt open, going to try again tomorrow, hopefully its all done! i cant wait to have my work on display and available to buy but its also scary knowing that people are coming to see your work and could actually hate it all! eeek! well i like it and guess thats all that matters!

in a bit of a daze today, just semmed to faff around all day and then i was getting some money out for me from our accounts department and in a 5min walk, if that, i managed to loose Rs1000, i re-traced my steps and its nowhere to be seen! argh! didnt get paid much this month either cos i was ill with my neck and the time you take off for being sick you dont get paid for! grr! ah well one less handbag this week i guess! *sniff!* hehe

from the exhibitionist (cheers for that nickname chav!)

Happy 30th Adam!

Image
Wow what an eventful weekend! Friday was Adam's 30th so we both took the day off work to celebrate together. After sleeping in till 10am Adam finally woke me up asking when I was going to emerge & celebrate his birthday with him - Yoink! So much for the breakfast in bed I had planned. We started the day off as all birthdays should be celebrated - with a trip to Asda! After getting the boring chores out the way we headed to Winter Wonderland (via the Barber) for our annual wander around with a mulled wine in one hand & a Bratwurst in the other all polished off with a pretzel. We stopped off at the Carousel bar to watch the world go by (literally! The whole bar rotates really slowly) & have another mulled wine while putting the world to rights before heading off for dinner in Hammersmith. The first of many surprises for Adam were tickets to Steve Merchant's 'Hello Ladies' tour at the Apollo which was really good fun. We got there quite early so thought we&#

Ladies what #ldnlunch

After a few deep breaths I plucked up the courage to walk into the Jetlag bar in Fitzrovia & meet some fellow blogging lovelies. I'd first heard about Ldnlunch On Eloise's blog . I'd always wanted to go to a blogger meet so I put my name down straight away. I was a bit nervous when I realised there were about 40 other girls going who's blogs were mainly about fashion, whereas mine is just random ramblings from inside my brain box but decided I'd still go seeing as I had nothing to lose! I arrived expecting to be early but there were already lots of people sitting down for drinks & food so I grabbed a drink & perched on a pooffe. I just ordered a bowl of chips (how adventurous!) but I did pick off the plates around me (yoink! Thanks Lois! ). There were mixed responses to the rather tentacle-y calamari (I have some hilarious snaps of Jazzy eating the tentacles but I'm here to make friends not enemies so those will be shared between the 2 of us &am

Londoners pt1

Image
For Chrimbo Adam gave me a book called "Londoners. The days & nights of London now - as told by those who love it, hate it, live it, left it & long for it" by Craig Taylor. After reading the introduction & before reading any more I decided I'd think about what London & being a Londoner means to me. Even though I picked out bullet points I still got a bit carried away so I'll spread it over a few posts so here goes part 1, I'll start with the one thing that I think of straight away when someone says London to me: ~ the tube is a huge part of London life. It's about sitting on a train for an hour & not knowing what any one's face looks like only their shoes, panic attacks when the train gets stuck in a tunnel without explanation, keeping left, standing on the right spot on a platform so you'll be in front of the doors when they open & also so when you get off you'll be at the exit to the station - even if that exit says no ent
