i feel nice, like sugar and spice.......

well ive had an amazing weekend. so much fun. rfa, jane (his sis), ross and i all went to see the legend himself mr james brown at the roundhouse in camden. it was for the bbc electric proms. the zutons were supporting him and they were ace too. only did a half hour set but it was good fun. jimmy brown came on and did all the main hits (:P) and his set lasted about 2hours i think. the venue was really nice and it was packed and had a cool atmosphere. my photo below aint that good but never mind! you get the idea! click on the link below and you can see other photos and watch the gig on tinternet. cant believe hes about 73 and still performing like that! big thumbs up to the guy!!

on the saturday we pottered around london and rfa met up with some mates. in the evening we had a really good, and not too expensive, meal at strada next to the london eye and by the river. it was so warm sitting outside, cant believe its the end of oct and everyones still in tshirts.

we then headed to the old vic theatre near waterloo and went to see 'a moon for the misbegotten.' it had keven spacey in it and was brilliant, eve best was the leading lady and she was fantastic too. such an emotionally charged play. we both got really got engrossed in it. i know this is straight from the website (see link below) but this was what it was about:
'Josie (Best), a towering woman with a quick tongue and a ruined reputation lives in a dilapidated Connecticut farmhouse with her conniving father, Phil Hogan (Meaney). Together they're a formidable force as they scrape together a livelihood. But Josie's softer side is exposed through her love of Jim Tyrone (Spacey), Hogan's landlord and drinking buddy - a third-rate actor whose dreams of stardom were washed away by alcohol. '
it was so good as i keep saying (!) and rfa and i were on the front row right in the middle. the stage was really low so they were perfect seats and we got to get really close to mr spacey!! if anyones in london wanting to see a play you really should see it! only thing i would say is dress smart! :S if the other people in the audience looked anymore down their noses at us they would have fallen backwards!! it was really bad! i was toying with the idea of going to the 'powder room' and coming back with my skirt tucked in my knickers or something to see what theyd do! hehe.
so yeah, overall a pretty good weekend i'd say and it was lovely seeing rfa again. was sad to see him go yesterday 1. cos i miss him and being back in lufbra with the uni lot and 2. cos it meant the weekend was over and i have to go to work in about 10min! boo! hehe. anways better get going this gals got a bus to catch!

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

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&#
