Wet & wild!

Last night some jive people & I went to a late night opening of London Zoo. When we booked it there were photos of people sitting on the grass & relaxing with glasses of pimms. I'm not sure what city that was supposed to be in but it certainly wasn't London last night! The heavens opened & didn't stop until closing time!


We'd planned to wander round a few animals, sit on the grass chatting & drinking & end up at the silent disco. In actual fact we had to wait an hour for everyone to show up as we got wetter & colder, we ran to the reptile house cos we knew it would be warm & dry, then shot over to the aquairiun & watched the funniest made up musical by a company called musicbox, braved the weather to see the lions & tigers & watched 2 ants biting a leaf to carry back in the bug house (it was more exciting than it sounds thanks to lou & courtney's running commentry!). When it was time to meet everyone at the silent disco we found it on a very soggy patch of grass & I have to say we wimped out! I headed back to meet a very drunk Adam & we went home! All in all it was a fun night, just not how we'd imagined! I was really looking forward to posting about this cos I was expecting some brilliant photos but all I ended up with were these three shots taken before I'd even got there! Haha gotta love the British weather!

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&#
