the sporting exhibitionist.

ive been asked to record a very important sporting activity at the taj westend tomorrow. There will be reputations at stake as tennis balls fly backwards and forwards. one of the main concerns, will a certain players shoes mange to stand up to the match this time and not give up half way through while the player still wants to play?!?! Im hoping my photography skills are up to scratch as ive never done sport shots before (eek!) so itll be quite fun trying to get some decent pictures! The reason for this tennis match is because a Mr Rob Reilly is leaving for the Philippines at the start of next week ( :-( ) and i have been a loyal groupie (according to some people) of his tennis playing for the last couple of months! Anyway what im trying to say is that itll be an ace match (no pun intended) and will be interesting to see certain people playing tennis who ive not seen yet! :-P

also tomorrow is my housemate, becca's, birthday which'll be cool! so we'll be going out for a really lovely meal in the evening as well as having a scrummy 2kg chocolate cake at work during the day! yayaya! hehe!

Sunday at Leela was so much fun as usual although i didnt eat that much, i tended to focus on the champagne more! ;-) even though the brunch ended at 4pm we still managed to stay untill 11:30pm!

This weekend we're off to Pondicherry again to celebrate beccas birthday a bit more and to find some wicked bargains too!! :-D more shopping!!

Im off now to see Star Wars with some guys i met from Holland last week, should be cool but ive not seen any of the other 5 movies so hopefully ill understand at least some of it! if not ive always got my ipod in my bag!! :-P hehe

tarra for now, may the force be with you (is that even the right movie?!?! oh dear!)

T-minus 6months / 184days!

Image
Eeep! 6months today I'll be just about to walk down the aisle to see the man I'm going to marry! AAAAARRRRGGGHHH!I'm so ridiculously excited I'm not sure I can bottle it up! Valentines day marked 200 days till our wedding & mum made us a countdown using tape measures measuring 100cm each. The plan was to cut off a cm each day as the countdown but she'd included little charms all down them of bags, shoes, guitars, etc & we didn't want to ruin it so we're colouring it in with a Sharpie instead! She's the best! :) thanks mum! Last night after work Adam & I met up at Waterloo to head home & it was all going as planned till we stopped at one station for about 20mins cos of a backlog due to a part suspension. There was nothing we could do to get on another line so we sat & waited, the train eventually left but then sat at the next station (Swiss Cottage) for another 20min & they didn't know when they'd set off again. We knew th...

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...

#TowerPoppies

Image
Last September I was lucky enough to get the chance to take part in the "Blood Swept Lands & Seas of Red" at the Tower of London.... Those of you who are regular readers will know I love helping out the Royal British Legion & this was a chance to be part of something awesome! "Blood Swept Lands & Seas of Red" was to mark the centenary of the outbreak of WW1, in total there were 888,246 ceramic poppies (1 to represent every British / Colonial serviceman killed) & the last one was planted on Remembrance Day. If you want to find out more & see a video about the poppies being made click HERE . Early one Saturday morning I set off to the Tower of London & joined another 120 people for a 3hour shift. The aim was to plant 5000 poppies to keep on track for the 11th November but someone ended up opening an extra palette & we planted 6000 instead! Our team was lead by a Beefeater's daughter who actually lived in the Tower - such an in...
