*YAWN*

well im back from our daytrip to pondicherry. it was really good fun, but we're all like zombies today! our coach was very nice though and i slept for the whole journey. the trip got off to a sad start cos on saturday night before leaving i went to 13th floor then taika with rob to say bye. i was ok till i gave him a hug as i was leaving, as soon as i stepped out the door at taika i burst into tears! i think manjunath the driver wondered what on earth was wrong as i blubbed my way to shama travels to catch the coach! im really gonna miss rob, seamus and him have been looking after me while ive been out here (and vice versa!) and weve had soo much fun! im sure he wont miss the times that seamus and i gave him excellant dating advice though!! :-P

we left bangalore at 11pm and arrived in pondi at 5:30am. we headed to the beach, wandered around for a bit then ended up in hot breads for our hot choc croissant and hot chocolate! mmmm! then we visited the ganesh temple and ashram before getting a cycle rikshaw tour around the place. had a lovely lunch - banana pancakes! mmmm again! cooled down in the botanical gardens and made some very silly videos. the most important bit came next - the shopping!! i got some ace bargains and so did all the others. especially becca who doesnt usually buy anything! in a couple of the shops i was recognised from last time (i obviously make an impression on shop keepers! :-S hopefully not as the english girl who buys all the crap they own!!). we ended a very good day in a lovely restaurant -rendez vous and just chillaxed untill our coach left at 10:30pm.

ive just got one last thing to say....good luck rob and take care!

gonna go back to bed now!

Teary farewell again! :-)

Its fine, I guess... tears are the physical form of the precious little emotions that we carry towards friends and family alike! Moreover temporary separation from them always leads to a relatively highly joyful and happy reunion :-)

Btw... what are the timings of these "dating advice" sessions that you and Seamus conduct and what are the charges (by the bottle)? :-P
Can use some myself! ;-)

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...
