bonjour dharling!

well ive had the best 5 days! after work on friday i went straight to waterloo to meet nat nat and we hopped on the train to lille for the weekend. Fan and Srinath were with Fan's parents in Lille and we had a little reunion. well, i say little, we arrived at her hosue and there were people EVERYHWERE! it was one of the biggest houseparties ive been to, as well as lots of french people nat and i met up with emhen, fan, srinath, geraldine, cess, cess' boyfriend, robin and robin's daughter! (im so so sorry if ive forgotten anyone, i think thats it!! :S) We stayed up till about 3am dancing, drinking and socialising, just like being back in banaglore!


we had relaxing days on saturday and sunday and went into lille as well as chillaxing in the garden and around the house. We had so much good food too, all from fan's parents. it was ace!

on sunday i left about 3pm and set off for paris. i met up with sanjay and had dinner as well as few beers sitting at one fo the cafes on the side of the road. he left about 8pm and i went back to my hotel and people watched from my balcony. it was opposite the gare du nord so it was never quiet, but not in a bad way!!

monday i met up with jane and we went to texworld. we met up with people from our german and mumbai offices while we were there so it was good to catch up! i even saw BTPL where i worked when i lived in banaglore so to see them again was really nice. after that we went to the Champs-Elysées, looked in the shops and had dinner. Tuesday we went to PV. it was so interesting to go on business rather than as a student. i got so much out of the trip. i also got to meet up with lufbra and ella. ellas stand looked so good. really impressive! well done chick! :) jane and i left paris and i got home about 9pm. i really really enjoyed myself and got alot out of the whole thing. overall it gets a bit thumbs up!
sorry this post was a bit bitty but im cream crackered and just wanted to get an entry written about the last few days! :)

i took this photo on my new camera phone, not a bad shot eh?! im really pleased with it! the rest of the photos from france are on my photoblog! check em out!

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...
