Arseblog (not as rude as it sounds!)

I'm always up for meeting other bloggers & conversation's not usually a problem (if I read their blog & vice versa we must have summit in common right?!), but Wednesday evening I entered a blogging world I know nothing about.......football!
Adam wanted to go the Arseblog's book launch 'So Paddy Got Up' on Wednesday evening so muggins here joined him at The Tollington for an evening of queueing & meeting other bloggers & journalists.
We were going to hang around for a bit, have a drink & grab a bite to eat but the pub was packed! There was only space for the queue of people waiting for the book & not much else. We met Mr Arseblogger as well as Gunnerblog, Goonerholic, Amy Lawrence (Guradian journalist), Tim Payton (Arsenal Supporters Trust) & Nick Ames (Arsenal journalist) to name just a few.
Once we'd got the book (& as many autographs from people spotted by Adam as possible) we headed off for a slap up meal at 'Spoons. On the way we stopped off outside the Arsenal Stadium to check Adam's stone that I got him for his birthday last year, thankfully we didn't have to hunt through the snow to find it like last year. It's crazy to think how different the weather is compared to last year - where's the snow?!
We found a lovely quiet area upstairs & while Adam got engrossed in his book I made friends with a certain 'Crabbies' & a chicken tikka masala
Hopefully the next blogging event I go to will be a topic I know a bit more about & I won't just be the girlfriend tagging along! The things we do....

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&#

Ladies what #ldnlunch

Image
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
